-====== DOS doors on RPi with ExaGear & DOSEMU ====== 
  
-This guide is aimed at Raspbian Linux (Stretch) on Raspberry PI. In this example, I will be configuring for MagickaBBS and Tiny's Hangman game. 
- 
-===== Step 1. Install ExaGear ===== 
- 
-ExaGear is in the official raspberry pi repositories,​ so installing it is easy: 
- 
-    sudo apt-get install exagear-desktop 
- 
-You will also need to install a license from [[https://​eltechs.com/​product/​exagear-desktop/​|eltechs]],​ if you are not running headless you can use a 3 day trial. 
- 
-===== Step 2. Install DOSEMU ===== 
- 
-The default installation of ExaGear seems to use Debian 8 as the guest system. DOSEMU is in the contrib repository which is not enabled by default, so you need to edit the sources.list inside the guest image. 
- 
-    sudo vi /​opt/​exagear/​images/​debian-8/​etc/​apt/​sources.list 
- 
-Add contrib to the end of the line like this: 
- 
-    deb http://​ftp.us.debian.org/​debian jessie main contrib 
- 
-Now run exagear: 
- 
-    exagear 
- 
-And install dosemu: 
- 
-    sudo apt-get update 
-    sudo apt-get install dosemu 
- 
-===== Step 3. Configure DOSEMU ===== 
- 
-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.
