• Linux/Pi & dos doors?

    From toofargone@21:4/132 to All on Wed Feb 6 19:20:09 2019
    Hi all,

    Just wondering if it's possible to run dos doors on a pi?

    I'd love to run LORD/LORD2 .. these are my favorite bbs doors.

    Also are there any popular Linux/pi native doors like Galactic Dynasty
    (which I need to read up on how to join the league here).

    Cheers :)

    Hi all,

    It's possible, but a little convoluted. You have a few options

    1. Use dosbox + a shim I made so it works via ssh (each door will only
    run one node at a time though) 2. Use Exagear + dosemu 3. Use QEMU +
    freedos 4. Hook up to door party or bbslink

    Best option for a Pi is DoorParty. It integrate seamlessly but runs on another system.

    Super easy to setup and maskreet is around for any setup issues with Door Party!

    Cheers!

    Hello toofargone,

    Just wondering if it's possible to run dos doors on a pi?

    I have no experience with a Pi, but Gryphon wrote a howto for QEMU on the Pi. QEMU can be used on linux as well. I think that's going to be the best route to
    try.

    I'd love to run LORD/LORD2 .. these are my favorite bbs doors.

    Also are there any popular Linux/pi native doors like Galactic Dynasty (which I need to read up on how to join the league here).
