![]() If you are on Ubuntu or Mint, there will be one line at the end of the file that does not start with # You must type in your password, and then you will be presented with the content on the timidity.cfg file in the terminal. Note that on certain distros, it may be named differently (timidity++ instead of timidity), so when you type this, simply press TAB on your keyboard to auto-finish after you have typed in 3-4 letters for each folder. This must be done by editing the config file, and it must be edited as root. Lastly you simply need to configure timidity to use this specific soundfont. This soundfont it quite large, over 100 mb, but it provides great sound for old midi games. In Mint 16 it is called: fluid-soundfont-gm The specific name might differ from distro to distro, but search on your software manager for 'fluid' and you should find it. ![]() ![]() You will also need a soundfont, and I suggest the FluidR3_GM soundfont. In Ubuntu and Mint it is simply called Timidity, so just open the software manager and search for it. The program you want is called Timidity++, and it should be available in the official repositories for most Linux distros. You could have selected a different sound setting than 'General midi' in the last step, but it would result in some poor sounds, so I strongly suggest you stick to this. To get general midi working, you will have to install another program. Now select 'SoundBlaster Pro (later)' and click Okīack at the main window just click 'Exit Program', to close the DosBox prompt after this, just type 'exit' and press enter Select 'General midi' at the bottom, and click Ok So start dosbox, and type in the following, replacing username with the name of your user: Now scroll to the end of the file, and under the section, type in the following, replacing 'username' with the name of your user: This actually slightly improves dosbox speed For most systems 128:0 will be the correct setting, however it may be different on your system, so keep this number in mind and we will check later if you need to set it to another sound setting Under the section make the following changes This game really required a lot of cpu cycles, however certain systems might not be able to handle too high cycles, if this setting result in a lot of stuttering sounds, try reducing it to 25000, or even 20000 Under the section, make following changes This is the largest supported memory size in dosbox, and it helps this game Scroll a short bit further down until you find This will let you freely move the mouse outside the game window, which is useful since nothing in the game requires the mouse to be captured This is required to enable larger game window than the original resolution This is mostly provided as an example, you may put in your own window paramters in case you wish a larger or smaller game window In case you decide to play fullscreen, then this will ensure the game renders in your desktop resolution This will depend on personal preference, but an old game like this is great to play windowed while browsing or doing other stuff, but if you want it fullscreen, simply set it to 'true' Open the config file with a text editor and make the following changes: I will assume you named the config file: nf Setting up games for DosBox is quite similar for most games, so this guide will only specify the particular steps the apply to this game.įor the rest of this guide, I assume that the contents of the app folder from extracting the Master of Magic installer has been moved to:īy now, you should have a config file for the game located in: This guide is specifically for the digital edition available on GOG.com, but should also be applicable to other editions. Replayability is great because of all the customization options when starting a new game.įollow my guide and you will be able to play this game on Linux with the use of DosBox. The game is turn based with a randomly generated game world. Master of Magic was originally released in 1994, and it is a game of the 4x genre (explore, expand, exploit and exterminate).
