I was just wondering is it possible to get that game work on Linux? I don't have the game yet, so before getting it I'd like to know whether I can even play it or not. I have Wine, but no WineX. Grim Fandango seems to work (for some people, not me unfortunately) with Wine, so I quess it could be technically possible to get Discworld work as well.

i tried it some months ago, but failed miserably.
perhaps wine or (cvs)winex have grown since then. |

If you do get it to work. Could you please post your results in the following thread:

Its a general howto for adventure games which I have started. I'd like to see it grow and have users add info about getting certain adventure games to run. |

Well, could any of you solve my problem with Grim Fandango? The game seems to work just fine, but I can see only the upper-left corner of the game screen. It's really weird. After quitting I have to change the resolution of my screen (in fact, I don't usually quit, but kill the program, because I can't see the menu, which makes the phenomena much more acceptable).

Nah. The game works fine until the menu is supposed to appear. Then it just stays idle. And by "fine" I mean it reserves about 700MB of RAM. This game is supposed to work with WineX, but since I only have the regular Wine, I can't test (or play) it.

There is DOS based version on the discworld II cds and it plays well with dosemu.
At least I played it with dosemu 1.1.99. The only problem I had, was when I had to change cds. But luckily you only have to change them once.
Hope this is true, I could swear I played it on linux... |

i tried it with dosbox and it does work, but horribly slow, even
after upping the cpu cycles and skipping frames.
i will try it with dosemu and report back.
*update* it fails trying to find a vesa video mode.
probably due to lack of configuration on my part, but con-
figuring dosemu appears to be a cumbersome process, so i
will not look into that right away.
*another update*
WOO! i got it to work with sound (hardly any delay) and such in dosbox-cvs!!!
here's my config:
