After trying the different solutions I read about in this forum (and not getting much results), I decided to try different DOS emulators with my GNU/Linux box, and it works great.

I first tried DOSBox, it runs the game fine but much too slowly for playing the game. I the tried dosemu and bingo, it ran the game almost out of the box.

I'm running a Debian GNU/Linux Unstable box, so I guess the following works on all Debian derivatives like Ubuntu. I followed the following steps:
- I installed dosemu, as well as freedos:



- after reading some documentation at (http://www.dosemu.org) http://www.dosemu.org, I fired up and got a DOS shell.

- I made a dos/ directory in my home dir. inside it I copied the whole of the the TN CD. I ended up with the following:

/home/cafeine/dos/
/home/cafeine/dos/tnovacd/

- I mounted the dos/ directory inside the dosemu shell:


- All I had to do next was to go to f:\tnovacd, run install to setup the game, then run __ff.exe to have TN:SFC running smoothly under Linux .


I hope this is useful to some...
