| **NOTE:** Starting with dosemu2 build 2.0~pre9-7811-4373124b9+202301020131, dosemu2 seems to require the $_xms and $_ems settings to be more than 1024 in order to run. I (Nightfox) tried "$_xms = (8192)" and "$_ems = (2048)", and newer builds of dosemu2 would run. However, with the newer dosemu2 builds, TradeWars 2002 was complaining that it could not initialize the fossil driver and would exit. \\ | **NOTE:** Starting with dosemu2 build 2.0~pre9-7811-4373124b9+202301020131, dosemu2 seems to require the $_xms and $_ems settings to be more than 1024 in order to run.

| dosemu2 2.0~pre9-7807-4e99cf2c5+202301010131 was the last build that worked with the "_xms = (1024)" setting and TradeWars 2002. I (Nightfox) have placed a download link for that build of dosemu2 for 64-bit Ubuntu 22.04.1 [[http://digitaldistortionbbs.com:81/dosemu/dosemu2_2.0~pre9-7807-4e99cf2c5+202301010131~ubuntu22.04.1_amd64.deb|here]]. If you are using another Linux distribution, you will likely need to find another package. | |

| If you prefer to use the latest FreeDOS environment, change the second command, to read ''sudo apt install dosemu2 fdpp''. Once you accept the changes to your system, DOSEMU2 and FreeDOS will be installed. | If you prefer to use the latest FreeDOS environment, change the second command, to read ''sudo apt install dosemu2 fdpp''.
