There is a Linux version of Dosbox. SSP.exe is not a dos program however, so I can't run it through Dosbox itself (odd considering the GUI it uses, but that's besides the point). I can however run SSP through Wine. Except then of course I can't make SSP launch the game, because the Linux Dosbox has nothing to do with Wine.
I suppose I could also try to install the Windows version of Dosbox in Wine (WineAppDB does say it works), but using an emulator
on top
of Wine to run a game seems a bit..
There has to be a simpler way to get this done right?

Try to copy the linux version of dosbox to SSP/RES/dosbox and start it there. Should work.
To enable the mouselook mod copy the 7zip archive from RES/mods to RES and extract it there. I don't quite remember the names and can't check it here, but it should all be easy enough to find.

Hey, that was surprisingly easy. I didn't think SSP.exe could effectively be bypassed. Thanks.
I don't think Linux Dosbox' location can be moved as easily after installation, but there's really no need for it. I simply mounted the ss1 folder location to a drive within Dosbox.

Well, glad it works.
SSP.exe is just a launcher and mini mod manager written as a batch file and compiled as a windows executable. That's why it won't run in DOS. You can find the original batch in RES/ssp/src (or somesuch). And you can use that batch in place of SSP.exe. Then you could run it inside dosbox. Starting System Shock that way is probably not recommended though as it would start dosbox from within dosbox. But you could use the options etc. I compiled SSP into an exe because it was the only way to set some memory options for VDMS.

Ah, so that's why. I just thought you did it to make Dosbox a little more accessible for us. It works both ways I guess.
Anyway, with the accomplishments of the last few days I felt like taking a little victory screenshot, if only to prove your solution in this thread works. Dosbox and Wine, running SS1 and SS2 next to each other. Together at last.

....It's probably too much to ask for bioshock. So I'll shut up now.
Fun little group that is. Oddly sentemental feeling.

Hmhm. That could easily work in theory, as Bioshock gets
a platinum rating on WineAppDB
. Sadly my computer is a bit too old to try that. But to be perfectly honest, I've never considered Bioshock much of a 'spiritual successor' to SystemShock, aside from the bloody graffiti and audiologs everywhere. The original Deadspace was a much closer shot at that.
