Hello Eric, I downloaded the ARM64 binaries of dosemu2 and got comcom64 and dj64 installed. However, fdpp and Dosemu won’t install, as they require packages that are not available in Raspberry Pi OS / Debian 12 Bookworm. Please see the dosemu2.log file I’ve attached.
I have another idea. I’m considering installing Docker, downloading an Ubuntu image, and loading Dosemu2 onto it. What would be the disadvantages of this? How would I transfer DOS programs to dosemu2 in this case? Thanks for your assistance. Sincerely, Lawrence
dosemu2
