SimCity 2000 gets stuck on some dosbox window saying "exit" isn't a command #592

I just tried launching SimCity 2000 and it gets stuck on some dosbox window saying "exit" isn't a command (during that entire process I didn't touch anything, it ran those commands by itself):

Am I doing something wrong maybe? :flushed: I installed it via flatpak/flathub, latest version on there, and I'm testing it on an openSUSE Slowroll x64 machine with a GNOME 3 Wayland session

I'm seeing the same with Lands of Lore 1: Throne of Chaos. Maybe it's a problem with all dosbox games somehow?

sharkwouter commented 6 months ago

Yeah, unfortunately this happens with all dosbox Windows games. I think it's a wine issue. Thanks for reporting, though.

Is there any known workaround to this? Sorry to eat up anyone's time, just curious. It would be nice if it were possible to launch those games somehow, through minigalaxy.

sharkwouter commented 2 months ago

Yeah, you can install dosbox on your machine. Then it should start.

ell1e commented 2 months ago

Dosbox is already installed!

sharkwouter commented 1 month ago

Oh, my bad. You might want to report this issue here, since you installed using Flatpak: https://github.com/flathub/io.github.sharkwouter.Minigalaxy/issues

I reported it here now: https://github.com/flathub/io.github.sharkwouter.Minigalaxy/issues/52
