Hi
I am trying to run UO in Linux on my netbook. I can download the installer and run it in wine. However, my CPU (Celeron N4000) is not fast enough to run UO in Dosbox in Wine. I am guessing that it would be ok to run UO in Dosbox without wine. Problem is, there is a file called game.gog that I do not know what to do with. I can extract it, but I cant get my linux Dosbox to run UO.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Ok, so after 2h of reading dosbox manual files I came up with this.
1. Use wine to install UO to ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Ultima Underworld
You can run the game from there if your PC is fast enough using wine.
If you want to use Linux Dosbox you need to open the files 'dosboxULTIMA1_single.conf' and 'dosboxULTIMA1.conf' in ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Ultima Underworld/ into linux format. (Kate -> Extras -> end of line -> UNIX -> save file)
Then you need to edit dosboxULTIMA1_single.conf
mount C ".." --> mount C "~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Ultima Underworld"
imgmount d "..\game.gog" -t iso -fs iso --> imgmount d "~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Ultima Underworld/game.gog" -t iso -fs iso

Lastly start the game using: dosbox -conf ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Ultima\ Underworld/dosboxULTIMA1.conf -conf ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Ultima\ Underworld/dosboxULTIMA1_single.conf
Sound works for me and it runs a lot faster than using wine. Though I dont really get why there is no linux installer to start with.
glad you got it figured out. yeah it can be a pain figuring out how to get the DOSBox packages to work without using the official installer.

be sure to consider playing with my UltimaHacks patch which adds mouse-look and some other things:
