Play Rayman 1 on Linux using DosBox

This is a tutorial to install and play Rayman 1 (the greatest jump'n'run game ever) using DosBox on Ubuntu.

1. Copy the contents of the Rayman CD to a folder on your computer, e.g.

$ cp -Rv /media/cdrom /opt/games/RaymanCD

2. Install DosBox

$ sudo apt-get install dosbox

3. In your dosbox.conf (Usually in ~/.dosbox/dosbox-<version>.conf) set the keyboard layout option to your keyboard layout code (e.g. sg for swiss german layout)
4. Create a new folder for the Rayman installation, e.g.

$ mkdir /opt/games/Rayman

5. Issue the following command in your terminal:

dosbox -noautoexec \
-c 'mount c /opt/games/Rayman -freesize 100' \
-c 'mount -t cdrom r /opt/games/RaymanCD' \
-c 'r:' \
-c 'install.bat'

6. Install Rayman (don't forget to let the setup auto-recognize your soundcard). After the setup, don't play the game, just exit the menu and close the DosBox window.
7. Put a new file called rayman.sh somewhere on your computer (e.g. on your Desktop)
8. Add the following lines to the freshly created file:

#!/bin/bash
dosbox -noautoexec \
-c 'mount c /opt/games/Rayman -freesize 100' \
-c 'mount -t cdrom r /opt/games/RaymanCD' \
-c 'c:' \
-c 'rayman.bat'

9. Make the file executable:

$ chmod +x rayman.sh

Done, now you can start Rayman at any time by executing the rayman.sh file. If the gameplay is too fast, change the frequency to 50.
