  • TEOS under DOSEMU

    From Steve Helferich@1:311/2 to All on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 19:37:06
    Hey all,

    Does anyone have Planets: TEOS working under DOSEMU?

    I've got it running but shortly thereafter it crashes with either runtime
    error 5 or 103.

    5 is file access denied
    103 is file not open

    Doesn't seem to matter if I'm playing it locally or on the BBS.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: TEOS under DOSEMU


    Are you running "Share" in the emu before the game? Might also need to
    increase the "files" environment setting.

    Just what I can think of right off the top of my head, but I don't run an
    emu. Just sounds familiar from when I was running a DOS box.

    Hi Dallas,

    We figured it out, DOSEMU only had read access to the games .dat files so
    when it tried to make changes it would crash.

    Thanks

    Glad you were able to get it figured out.

    so what did you do to fix it? DOSEMU should have had full access to the files...

    chmod 777 to the whole teos directory. Weird because I just copied all my
    dos games over from my windows system and TEOS is the only one that was
    having issues. I'm still learning linux, so I'm still figuring it out but
    like my BRE files, and all the other games have the following permissions and work just fine:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve

    How are you starting mis? Are you running it as root or are you using sudo
    to start it? From what I can tell, the (changed) permissions should not adversely affect anything.
