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. :-(
