Hi everyone
I used to play Warcraft 2 a long time ago and I'd love to get it working again. It was one of the few games that I actually bought for a PC, I was always a console gamer as my PCs were never up to spec for the games of the time.
So I've got a cue/bin image of the original CD.
I've seen various mentions of people playing Warcraft 2 on the Pandora but not many instructions on how to get it going.
I should point out I've never used DOSBox, ever, so I don't really know where to start.

It's a shame this blog post has gone... http://www.codejedi.com/cgi-bin/blog.cgi/entertainment/gaming/pandora/20081221wc2dosbox.blog
Running in Qemu looks good...

But do I actually need to extract/install from the mounted cue/bin first, and then point the .bat to the .exe as per the example games?
Any help on this would be really appreciated!
An alternative is to try and find the PSX version and run it in PCSX but running the dos version would be better.
Cheers, B

Code:
imgmount d "/media/pndsd0/pandora/appdata/dosbox-ex-ura/roms/Warcraft.2/WARCRAFT2.cue" -t iso -fs iso
