However, it is the only viable solution for most distributions to run DOS doors, and is supported in Synchronet. However, there is [[howto:dosemu2|a guide]] to installing DOSEMU2. There is also [[https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/433|a Synchronet issue]] with some suggestions on how to get DOSEMU2 working with Synchronet. |

| Modify ''[[dir:ctrl]]/sbbs.ini'' to set ''UseDOSemu = true''. | Modify the ''[BBS]'' section of your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/sbbs.ini'' to set/add ''UseDOSemu = true''. |
| |
| You can also modify the ''DOSemuPath'' and ''DOSemuConfPath'' values if you need something other than the defaults. However, normally, the Synchronet-provided ''dosemu.conf'' will be in your Synchronet ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' dir and ''dosemu.bin'' will be in your system ''bin'' directory, so the default values should work fine. | You can also modify the ''DOSemuPath'' and ''DOSemuConfPath'' values if you need something other than the defaults.
