dosbox rom

Post » Sat Aug 16, 2014 5:55 pm

I downloaded dosbox earlier. Got it working. But cant seem to figure out the rom. starflight to be specific. Its abbandonware, and i dont think binary sytems is even around anymore. And GoG doesnt have one that works for ubuntu. So its not pirating. Anyways, i downloaded the rom off the internet. But im not sure how to play it. Im not even sure its been installed. All this ubuntu stuff is new to me. What I have done is use he terminal to get dosbox loaded. Then did the mount c/home/name/dosrom. Then c:. After that I figured it was cpable of playing so I typed cd c:starflig (which is the name I gave the game to work in dosbox). But it says something like it cant find it or something. Thinking the game needed to be installed I tried wine /media/starflig/setup.exe. That didnt work, so i tried putting desktop in place of media. That didnt work. Then I tried moving the game into media, but permission was denied. So I was going to try doing it in nautilus, but couldnt find the game.Am i missing something?

"Abandonware" is not legal or ok to download, http://www.gog.com/game/starflight_1_2 and reconfigure it to suit your Ubuntu needs or http://www.gog.com/news/gogcom_soon_on_more_platforms.
