Well, I’m sad to report it certainly isn’t a one-click launch for that game. I came across the original files, but it seems those 16-bit titles are still unevenly supported. It doesn’t help that i386 support was removed from the Linux kernel a while back.
- Comment on GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux 3 days ago:
It very well might.
Also TIL the original developer still sells boxed copies of this thing. That’s crazy. It also seems like they’ve updated fhe binaries for 32-bit systems so it should run under modern Windows.

Heroic is singlehandedly the best tool I’ve had for getting seemingly any Windows game to work as needed. I don’t know what they do differently than Bottles or Lutris under the hood but good lord the “just works” aspects of it are glorious.
Janky old DX8 title? Bam, now it runs in Vulkan with proper API extensions and directinlut wrappers. Got a weird, 16-bit Windows 3.1 title? Look at that, it works too. The only seeming exceptions are where there legitimately just isn’t support yet via Proton or DXVK and that’s an ever narrowing gap

Seems like exactly the kind of exploit that could be used in a jailbreak process. Curious to see what else gets done with it
- Comment on We're inching closer to the Steam Frame release with a SteamOS Manager update 2 months ago:
Apple really does have a crazy hardware division. I wish their software was anywhere near as appealing. They could do a good job of kicking Qualcomm into actually making something useful if they chose to license their M series chips

I’m confused about why you don’t like fun things that take nothing away from the promised experience
- Comment on Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck 7 months ago:
I’m using Fedora 43 Plasma under Wayland, with the regular Discord flatpak. Vesktop works, but I recall some oddly hacky things I had to do to make it work
- Comment on Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck 7 months ago:
It works and has worked for a while. Application specific sharing for audio is an oddity though, since it can’t seem to isolate and you get all desktop audio excluding discord
- Comment on GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin getting an official Flatpak for Linux and Steam Deck 1 year ago:
Absolutely. Having such good UX is uncommon for these kinds of projects since its most contributors are going to be focused on reverse engineering tasks. It’s not to say that good UX isn’t associated with good programming, but it’s not terribly common that a project focused on reverse engineering puts effort into front-end development.
- Comment on GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin getting an official Flatpak for Linux and Steam Deck 1 year ago:
Dolphin is such a well fleshed out emulation monster that I’m consistently disappointed with other emulators that don’t let me tweak things quite to the same degree. I can’t tell if it’s just the nature of Nintendo’s console architecture from that era, or if there simply isn’t the same degree of effort/priority put into exposing those kinds of features in other emulators.
- Comment on Heroic Games Launcher v2.15 has expanded GOG support, EA games from Epic Store support 1 year ago:
GOG, basically. Which feels a bit ironic given Heroic covers GOG
- Comment on LPCAMM2 upgradeable RAM for laptops sounds awesome 2 years ago:
While true, I think buying into a proprietary memory format that hasn’t been formally made an open standard is something you have to accept some risk on. CAMM is cool as hell, but it never made it this far.
