  • Ubuntu/JNS Door Games/dosemu2

    From RickV@1:154/110 to All on Thu Aug 20 23:40:31 2026
    Hello everybody!


    I am unable to get any JNS games to run under Ubuntu, dosemu2. I have gotten most of my other dos games to work, Sunrise and a bunch of other classic doors working. Can anyone share there sbbs cfg and the games cfg setting for one JNS game (5 Card Poker maybe) with me?

    This is all running under Ubuntu, with dosemu2.

    Thanks,
    RickV

    I have those doors running with (original) dosemu, and shared my configs
    with you already. I take it that didn't work? I suppose there may be differences in how dosemu/dosemu2 handle things, but it works fine here.

    I did see your cfg's setting. I tried those, but I think that with dosemu2 it's different. I do have 3/4's of my doors working but for some reason the JNS doors just won't work. It's just so easy to get them all to work under Windows 11 I should just run my system with that.

    My next question is menus in the external menus setting coming in another message. :-)
