| ===== Step 3. Configure DOSEMU ===== | ===== Step 3. Configure DOSEMU ===== | ||
| - | TODO... | + | First, run dosemu once to create /home/pi/.dosemu/ paths then modify the supplied autoexec.bat. |
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | This is my autoexec.bat (in /home/pi/.dosemu/drive_c/) | ||
| + | |||
| + | @echo off | ||
| + | break=off | ||
| + | path z:\bin;z:\gnu;z:\dosemu | ||
| + | set HELPPATH=z:\help | ||
| + | set TEMP=c:\tmp | ||
| + | prompt $P$G | ||
| + | lredir del d: > nul | ||
| + | lredir d: linux\fs/home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors | ||
| + | unix -e | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Step 4. Configure a Door ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Firstly you want a dosemu.conf for calling the door, I use the same one for calling all my dos doors. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is my dosemu.conf (in /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/) | ||
| + | |||
| + | $_cpu = "80486" | ||
| + | $_cpu_emu = "vm86" | ||
| + | $_external_char_set = "utf8" | ||
| + | $_internal_char_set = "cp437" | ||
| + | $_term_updfreq = (8) | ||
| + | $_layout = "us" | ||
| + | $_rawkeyboard = (0) | ||
| + | $_com1 = "virtual" | ||
| + | |||
| + | You will need both [[http://tinysbbs.com/files/tsoft/THANG23B.ZIP|THANG23B.ZIP]] and [[http://www.pcmicro.com/bnu/bnu170.zip|BNU170.ZIP]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | First unzip BNU170.ZIP in /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/bnu | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then unzip THANG23B.ZIP in /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/thang | ||
| + | |||
| + | copy the executables from /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/thang/dos to /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/thang | ||
| + | |||
| + | Next Configure Tiny's Hangman by editing THANG.CFG. Note: I use dorinfo1.def but you could just as easily use door.sys. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now create a batch file that we will use to launch tiny's hangman from DOS. | ||
| + | |||
| + | @echo off | ||
| + | D: | ||
| + | CD \BNU | ||
| + | BNU /L0=11520 | ||
| + | CD \THANG | ||
| + | THANG /N%1 /DD:\THANG\NODE%1 | ||
| + | exitemu | ||
| + | |||
| + | create the following sub directories in THANG | ||
| + | |||
| + | mkdir node1 | ||
| + | mkdir node2 | ||
| + | mkdir node3 | ||
| + | mkdir node4 | ||
| + | |||
| + | until you have a directory for each node. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally, the script for running tinys hangman, thang.sh | ||
| + | |||
| + | #!/bin/bash | ||
| + | |||
| + | NODE=$1 | ||
| + | |||
| + | cp /home/pi/MagickaBBS/node${NODE}/dorinfo1.def /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/thang/node${NODE}/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | exagear -- /usr/bin/dosemu -quiet -f /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/dosemu.conf -I "dosbanner 0" -E "D:\THANG\THANG.BAT ${NODE}" 2>/dev/null | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can then edit your doors.ini to include: | ||
| + | |||
| + | [Tinys Hangman] | ||
| + | command = /home/pi/MagickaBBS/doors/thang.sh | ||
| + | stdio = true | ||
| + | |||
| + | and finally edit doors.mnu | ||
| + | |||
| + | HOTKEY 1 | ||
| + | COMMAND RUNDOOR | ||
| + | DATA Tinys Hangman | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then restart Magicka and you should be able to run Tinys Hangman by pressing 1 on the doors menu. Please note it takes a while to start up. | ||
