Testing DHPOS in VirtualBox right now... seems to hang a bit... dunno if it's my config or not... using XP Pro... I tried FreeDOS... it works OK... networking is a bit of a problem however in it...

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn...

UPDATE: VirtualBox running DHPOS works fine. Appearantly there's an issue when the Gnome panels are showing.

So if your running Ubuntu, and running WinXP in VirtualBox open a terminal and type:

gnome-session-remove gnome-panel

KEEP THE TERMINAL OPEN... ALT+Tab to get back to the terminal.

Then in VirtualBox run it in full screen (CTRL+F)

This keeps it from locking up for some reason, it runs fine... and Windows runs almost natively... still testing, but it looks to be running full capacity.

Problems

Post by Nick » Thu Nov 29, 2007 12:49 am

A little background first. I havnt played with linux in a long time and am vary rusty. Next this is my first time playing with any of the emulators. That said I had an old hard drive laying around so I decided to take a stab at running pos in linux.
Im running ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn with wine-0.9.49 and cant figure out how to run pos. I have added all the pos exe's for windows 98 in the applications tab of the wine configuration window. When I go to run pos from the terminal I type

Code: Select all

wine pos.exe
and get met with what to me is a bunch of giberish talking about a cupple "dumps", a "backtrace" and a list of "modules" begining with ELF.
Any of you linux guys know anything about this, I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
-Nick

Maybe I missed something with the wine install. To be honest I wasn't sure what I was doing half the time. Like I said before I probably shouldn't be playing with linux but I have a disposable hard drive and Im up for a challenge. Thanks again,

After research I have found out this is what happens when the program crashes. What version of wine are you guys running?

I always run the newest version of wine. I have a script to auto update packages once a day. If you can send me an email with the details of the install I will be more than willing to help you. my email is brian@xenocomp.com
