Run Freshwater Fishing Simultator in DOSBox

1. Install DOSBox

2. Download Freshwater Fishing Simulator somewhere

3. Extract to a folder, for example: ~/FFS27001

  • According to the manual, "The first time you run FFSCFG.EXE to set up the door, don't try to set up the tournaments yet. Run FFSCFG.EXE configure any thing that is needed, except for the tournaments. Exit and run FISHMANT. Then you can go back in and set up the tournaments."

4. Run DOSBox. At command prompt type: mount d ~/FFS27001/
d:
ffscfg

Then proceed to set config... After finished, then run: fishmant
Re-run ffscfg if you want tournaments, and then exit DOSBox when you're done (type exit at the command prompt)


5. Decide how you want to run the game:

Option 1. Edit ~/.dosbox/dosbox-XX.conf, add these lines at the end under the [autoexec] heading: mount d ~/FFS27001/
d:
fishmant (this should be run every so often to re-stock lakes... put it here or not)
fishing /l
exit
(The downside with this option is that DOSBox will always run the game. If you want to use DOSBox for other things, use the option below.)

Option 2. Make a copy of the dosbox-XX.conf file and add the same lines, renaming it to whatever (ffs.conf). Run it by doing:dosbox -conf ~/.dosbox/ffs.conf
