I've tried to run it under #Wine, but I could not make it work. The game only runs in some specific resolutions and color 16-bit color depth (which I managed to work around using Xephyr). I managed to install it under Wine and have it run. But I could not go farther than the initial screen.

So I installed #Windows 98 SE into a VM. Since I was at it, I created a #Vagrant image anyone can use. It has working display and audio drivers. Link below.

This way I (and whoever) can quickly launch a VM and install games from this era without having to deal with the quirks or Wine.

Here is the vagrant-libvirt setup I currently use to test the new package:
codeberg.org/johanneskastl/ope
github.com/johanneskastl/openc

Most boilerplate and surrounding things are fine, the executable runs, but currently the setup is broken due to missing assets / assets not being created.

As stated in the README, work in progress under heavy development... :-)

I just added a #TalosLinux 1.9.3 (#Talos) #Vagrant box to the #ARM64 collection. This allows you to run Talos on your #AppleSilicon #MacBook. This is control-plane only, but you can patch the manifest to also run workloads.

You can find it right here:

I don't know why I'm forever surprised at how bad - nearly unusable - Vmware Fusion is. This nonsense is getting uninstalled for good.

It's slow, the audio always sputters, the keyboards never work correctly, and integration with Vagrant is flaky at best.

Parallels, on the other hand is extortionately priced but at least it just works.

Today, someone reached out to me by email just to say "thank you" for my #Vagrant Box Collection with different types of #OS including all general #Linux (#Arch, #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Gentoo,..) and #BSD (#FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, ...) distributions.

It was just an email, rather than an issue or bug and someone took some efforts to look up my mail and to write me. It made me very happy & we should much more honour the work of others! It reminded me of how much we now take software for granted in our daily life. Things we do and handle our daily business... Even if we don't donate anything or only small amounts, we should always show respect for the time and effort of the author and maintainer. Even a small personalized email can bring great joy :)
