I was browsing the net today and a keyword popped up in my head, "Golden Axe". Golden Axe was an old game I remember playing when I was a kid. Google brought me to Abandonia, the lair of old (and abandoned) games.
When downloaded, I tried to run it using wine but presented with the following error;
shakir@anduril ~/gold $ wine GOLD.EXE winevdm: unable to exec 'D:\shakir\gold\GOLD.EXE': DOS memory range unavailable
Someone suggested the following solution
shakir@anduril ~/gold $ sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0 vm.mmap_min_addr = 0
But I still get the following error, because I’m using 64 bit Linux;
shakir@anduril ~/gold $ wine GOLD.EXE wine: Cannot start DOS application "D:\\shakir\\gold\\GOLD.EXE" because vm86 mode is not supported on this platform.
In the end I decided to install dosbox, and things then run perfectly.
shakir@anduril ~/gold $ sudo apt-get install dosbox shakir@anduril ~/gold $ dosbox GOLD.EXE

Hi,
I’ve been trying to download the said software but the site keeps timing out. Would it be possible for you to share the software through email?

No need *real* password. Just type anything and press enter, and you’re supposed to be able to play.

wine doesn’t support 64-bit linux.
You have to use 32-bit linux if you want to use wine.

Yup, but I prefer to just install dosbox and play the game rather than re-installing my system with 32 bit Linux
