So I just got local door games working on a Raspberry Pi with Mystic BBS software.
APAM released a package called dosbox_rpi.zip that helps his Talisman sysOps get local door games running. I had to do a few extra steps; like I had to add the line:
To all .shim.sh scripts... Mystic saves as DOOR.SYS and APAMs setup wants door.sys... also, in your menu commands you have to run a (DD) Run External with data like this:
~/doors/lisa.sh %3 /DOS
It needs the /DOS so that Mystic creates the correct DOS version of the DOOR.SYS file.
And I'm planning on creating a text file with ALL the additional steps I took listed out... you can find dosbox_rpi.zip on my BBS, or I can email it to you. And this is current info, 4/25/21, to get DOS door games running using DOSBox and APAMs helper scripts. Its a really nice setup; with different /dirs for nodes... I'd suggest this route and I've been trying to get local doors running under RPi for a while and this was by far the easiest and most put together method/package that I've found.
Sorry I didn't answer your actual question - but I wanna make sure you know about this option.
