What is going on here?
[~/Downloads] $ chmod +x zork*
[~/Downloads] $ ./zork1
Cannot open assembly './zork1': File does not contain a valid CIL image.
You probably have WINE or something installed. We have a workaround:
sudo wget -O /usr/bin/ape https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/ape-$(uname -m).elf
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ape
sudo sh -c "echo ':APE:M::MZqFpD::/usr/bin/ape:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"
sudo sh -c "echo ':APE-jart:M::jartsr::/usr/bin/ape:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"
Do you have some sort of binfmt_misc setup for Windows/.NET executables? You might be able to get it to work by running `sh ./zork1` instead.
Yay, this works :-)
West of House You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
What setup are you running it on? That will help with troubleshooting. Or, if you prefer, feel free to file an issue on the project repo and we can hash it out there.
I run Arch Linux on an AMD Ryzen 5. I have mono installed, not sure why, i guess it is a depenency for sdrsharp or the like. However, the sh ./zork1 did the trick :-)
Great! Glad to hear we have a simple solution for this issue. It is interesting to note your trouble, because another player in this post is running Arch and says it worked flawlessly. I guess Mono gets in the way a little.
