Has anybody managed to run "Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 + Campaigns" (wow, that's a mouthful!) in Linux?
Given it is using DOSBox it should be pretty straightforward, just use the Linux version of DOSBox and adapt the config file paths accordingly.

Unfortunately on my computer, while it is running just fine under Windows, it refuses to run under Linux. For some reason DOSBox Linux isn't able to load the fake game CD (the .cue file). Same version of DOSBox, I always get a message like:

“Bank Loaded
CD-rom identified as Drive A
Sorry can’t find Age of Rifles CD
Please check to see if your Age of Rifles CD is in your cd-rom Drive and try again.”

I searched the DOSBox forums, and that error related to Age of Rifles (even with the real CD) is apparently known, but I didn't find any explanation, much less a solution. :-(

I know nothing of linux, but in DOS drives A and B are floppy disks, C is Main HDD, D is HDD and E and beyond are CD and other drives. I would assume theat a DOS game with CD rom would look at diskdrives below C for its information. Maybe this is the difference with your windows an linux DOS box configuration.

Yes.

I don't have it from here: I still have the original CD-ROM. What I don't have is a CD/DVD drive on the PC I want to play it on though, so I had this error message too.

The solution is to point DOSBox's CD drive emulation at a directory containing the install files. (Not a .cue of the install CD, the actual files that were on the CD.)

I presume that it's only looking for some of them, but I haven't tried deleting files from that directory to whittle it down.

Update:

DOSBox-X mounts ~/DOS as C:

That has two subdirectories for this: RIFLES (the one with the game's files) and "Age of Rifles" with the install files.

RIFLES.BAT - it looks like the loadfix is also necessary:

config -set "cpu cycles=auto 7800 100%% limit 26800"
mount -u d >NUL
mount d "Age of Rifles" -t cdrom >NUL

cd RIFLES

loadfix -25
RIFLES.EXE
loadfix -f

cd..
mount -u d >NUL
