Anyone know how to get Age of Empires 2 going on Retro Pie RPi4

Hey everyone,

I installed the rp-box86wine from the 3rd party package by GeorgeMcMullen but I don't know where I can get the .sh file to install Age of Empires 2 and play the game. Anyone know where I can get that game title downloaded for free and running?

Thanks!

@rrcoder0167 you can try dosbox pure. it should work

@Bluescreen
Thx! But now, how can I get the game for free, I really don’t wanna pay $5 for a game I’ll play for 10 minutes prob

You can probably find the original demo somewhere on the internet. Otherwise, you can purchase the game and - if you don't like it - get a refund.

I believe that it is not possible to run Age of Empires 2 with dosbox-pure, It's a Windows game.

@windg

you can run windows games with dosbox

sorry english is not my first language ;)

@Bluescreen You have to install Windows 98 first and after that to install the game. Game doesn't run directly from the emulator.

Look at ... Box86 and Wine. Installing Win98 in DosBox won't run fast enough.
