  • Usurper Linux

    Does anyone have Usurper working properly on Linux?

    I'm almost there, but I don't think I'm doing something right.

    I'm using Mystic, so I'm using door32.sys, and this is my usurp.sh file:

    cd /home/mystic/usurper
    ./USURPER /B38400 /P/home/mystic/usurper/temp%1

    I log in to my BBS with Netrunner, and then I select Usurper from the menu, and it treats me like I'm loading usurper in local mode - that's messed up.

    doing it you also need to be able to create a DOOR32.SYS, not just a regula 16bit one.

    I know this message I'm replying to is quite ancient, but are you still running Usurper?

    I'm trying to run it on Linux. I used the DDSETUP.EXE program that came with it, which is used to create the USURP.CTL file

    But in the USURP.CTL file, I have the value set to DOORSYS. Is that wrong? Should it say DOOR32SYS? Or do you use a conversion method to convert your DOOR32.SYS to DOOR.SYS?

    I'm struggling because Usurper keeps loading in local mode - I'm guessing it's a problem with the DOOR.SYS/DOOR32.SYS file or location.
