Well that's a shame, I thought maybe there was a way for HoMM to run natively. But anyhow, it runs fine under wine.
No use for me.
Ubuntu 16.04 64bit
HoMM 1
Sound is laggy during play. And worst. Freezes after end of turn.
Have to keep a win partition to play Dosbox game!
Shame and pity.
So the scripts have being updated and again trying I am.

Machine configuration is the same.
So the result. Hangs on End of Turn.
But I've found the solution.

Although first - make the documentation clear.
The site documentation and the instructions after repacking HoMM are different which is confusing. Apt install or dpkg? OK that's not the point.

The point is that an SVN version of dosbox must be installed. The PPA is here:
code.launchpad.net/~i30817/+archive/ubuntu/dosbox-patched

For the lazy:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:i30817/dosbox-patched
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dosbox
#+END_SRC

Voila! Plays like a charm.
Thank the author for the script and google for the rest.
PS: Same problem in Arch, pretty close solution.

I no longer follow this thread, that’s why I missed your first report.

hello. first of all, thank you for all the work you're doing, we all appreciate it a lot
i'm having trouble starting the building process though (i'm trying to build homm3)
here's the command i'm giving:


sh ./play-heroes-of-might-and-magic-3.sh ~/Downloads/GOG_Galaxy_Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_3_Complete.exe

and here's what the terminal returns:


Error:
None of the following files could be found:
setup_heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_4.0_(28740).exe â€
setup_homm_3_complete_4.0_(10665).exe
setup_homm3_complete_2.0.0.16.exe
setup_heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_4.0_(french)_(28740).exe â€
setup_homm_3_complete_french_4.0_(10665).exe
setup_homm3_complete_french_2.1.0.20.exe
setup_heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_4.0_(russian)_(28740).exe â€




could you help?
GOG_Galaxy_Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_3_Complete.exe (0,522 mb)

Here the answer. This is not game installer. Should be exe file (0,803 mb) and bin file (0,89 Gb)

(btw, linux surely not for games - this is second mistake)

I disagree, Linux is for games also, Might and Magic don't are made for Linux. SOTA and Ark run best in Linux than in Windows. And with wine WoW run best in Linux also than on Windows.
