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. /home/<user>/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. /home/<user>/Games/Rayman
5. Issue the following command in your terminal:

   dosbox -noautoexec -c 'mount c /home/<user>/Games/Rayman -freesize 100' -c 'mount r /home/<user>/Games/RaymanCD' -c 'r:' -c 'install.bat'

6. Install Rayman (Don’t forget to 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 /home/<user>/Games/Rayman -freesize 100' -c 'mount -t cdrom r /home/<user>/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.
