When that finishes, you can either reboot or stay on the current session. If it prompts you about replacing a file, feel free. Navigate with the arrow keys down to the Windows 3.1 path and enter in the “C:\Windows” value.Ĭhange the Interrupt setting to the DOSBOX default of 7, as seen in this screenshot (unless you modified it in the nf). In DOSBox, cd to DRIVERS\SB and run the INSTALL utility. DOSBox emulates the SoundBlaster and S3 video hardware, so we just apply those drivers for Windows 3.1, and then audio will work and higher graphics settings too.
Zoombinis will warn you about sound and video settings, so the driver we loaded earlier should cover this. You can select “Y” to do so, and then go into the Control Panel, “386 Enhanced,” Virtual Memory button, and save the information that is present. It might prompt you about deleting a corrupt swap file. Prepare a batch file for mounting the right drives in the emulated environment. Mkdir -p ~/win31/drivers/S3 cd ~/win31/drivers/S3 & 7z x ~/Downloads/s3drivers.zip Mkdir -p ~/win31/drivers/SB cd ~/win31/drivers/SB & 7z x ~/Downloads/SB16W3x.zip Mkdir -p ~/win31/zoominst cd ~/win31/zoominst & 7z x ~/Downloads/Logical\ Journey\ of\ the\ Zoombinis.iso mkdir -p ~/win31 cd ~/win31 7z x ~/Downloads/Windows\ 3.1.vhd Also extract into sub-folders the Zoombinis disc contents, the sound drivers that DOSBox emulates, and the emulated video drivers. sudo dnf install dosboxĮxtract the Windows 3.1 VHD file (which I had from my old MSDN AA days). Install DOSBox, which is probably in the main package manager on your GNU/Linux platform. We are going to install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox, install drivers, and then install the game. The Zoombinis game was published in 1996, and it supports Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Here is the optimal route for making it work. I decided to try to install it on my Devuan ceres laptop. It was fun, and apparently I learned a lot. The game Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was an amazing game when I was young.
