Der beste Drückblick der Woche ist wieder da - alles was in der vergangenen Woche im #LinuxGaming passiert ist, findet ihr wieder im aktuellen Holarse Wochenendrückblick Nr. 22 auf @holarse.
Bes. Augenschmaus: Stone Kingdoms für alle Stronghold-Fans. Ebenso: Honki Tonk's Zivilisationen von @honkitonk.
Ausserdem: Die neue Gemini Gen2-Reihe von @tuxedocomputers. Vllt. mal wieder ein interessantes Gerät zum Testen?
Paths passed to commands mount, imgmount, and audio track paths in .cue and .ins files are now treated as case-insensitive, regardless of the operating system.
Fixes numerous issues with running DOS games on Linux or FreeBSD. This change alone corrects the vast majority of Windows-only DOS game releases on GOG or Steam (such as e.g. Settlers II, Redneck Rampage, or Mortal Kombat series) - users no longer need to manually adjust the paths after unpacking games from Windows installer.
This should significantly improve the quality of Lutris installers as well.
DOSBox Staging Basics
Today: Improve Telnet-mode handling for modem emulation
For those hosting a BBS behind a Telnet interface, you can now pre-configure your serial port in Telnet-mode with the telnet:1 argument, as follows:
[serial]
serial1 = modem telnet:1 listenport:2323
For those dialling BBSs hosted behind a Telnet interface, use the following dial-prefix: AT+NET1DT. In general, the +NET1 or +NET0 AT-command will enable or disable Telnet-mode, respectively.
This change brings Telnet-mode in-line with the Hayes multi-character command specification, which should be compatible with existing BBS software.
DOSBox Staging Basics
Today:Splash screen and help banner verbosity control
The splash screen and its delay, as well as the blue help banner, can now be skipped using the startup_verbosity setting in the [dosbox] section in the config file. The verbosity can be set as follows:
high shows everything: the splash screen, blue help banner, and initial console output.
medium skips just the splash screen and its delay, but still shows the blue help banner and initial console output.
low skips both the splash screen, delay, and blue help banner, but still shows initial console output.
quiet skips all of the above. The first output will either be the command prompt or output from startup executables or batch files.
By default, the verbosity is set to auto, which is either low when an executable or directory is passed on the command-line or high when DOSBox Staging is started without initial commands.
For a visual depiction of the options, see: https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/issues/477
I'm trying to make a tutorial for GZDoom on Arch Linux.
What is the best way to acquire the DOOM2 official wad file that I should suggest to those who want the original experience, and not the Freedoom2 (available in the AUR)?
