How awesome is this place.Played so many RPGs back in the 80s and early 90s on my Tandy 1000.How cool.

I'm actually playing Dungeon Hack right now.D-Fend Reloaded makes setting up these games so easy.Heck I'm doing this on Ubuntu using Wine.

..........Heck I'm doing this on Ubuntu using Wine.............
How strange, dosbox runs perfectly directly in Ubuntu, so why using a Win applic in Ubuntu to run dosbox within it ????????????
Strange ....................................... :picard:

Of course you always could use virtualbox+Ubuntu as guestOS+Wine+dosbox .... etcetera...... XD

D-Fend Reloaded does not run natively in Ubuntu.I actually am getting better functionality this way than I was using dosbox straight up.Plus D-Fend makes setting up games super easy.

I do use virtual box to play certain newer games especially those that do not function well in Wine.

Ah well, each his own I guess, as long as you're happy.

Just amazed me that someone who:

knows his way around on Tandy would need a frontend now.....

Personally I prefer batch files for the games that needs some 'special' settings or CD mount.

... and a frontend can be a real bitch when you try to run a needpicking game ....

I actually still have my Tandy1000EX.

I was having several issues running Dosbox natively in Ubuntu.Most of those issues for whatever reason disappeared when I ran the Windows version of Dosbox thru Wine(Playonlinux actually).And at that point I figured why not make life easier and just use a gui front-end,D-Fend is awesome imo.
