There was some confusion here. This game uses the Windows version of DOSBox which should be supported in Wine no matter what version is used.
Only the native DOSBox version needs the patches that Rosanne mentions.
Could someone reopen this bug?
Of course for playing the game, taking the files from Steam and running them directly inside a native version of DOSBox will be the quickest way of getting it to work. That's unrelated to the fact that the Windows version of DOSBox should be able to run in Wine without issues including possibly interaction with the Windows version of Steam.
Well, interaction might include short filenames, and the dosbox patches are mostly about Z drive mapping (mostly unrelated here) and short filename handling which differs between wine and dosbox. So I'd say there is still a valid point here. Does it work with current Wine and DOSBox? What happens if you remove the bundled dosbox and edit the batch file to simply run it without dosbox?
