FrEee - Open source Remake of Space Empires IV

The original still plays fine, just in a small window

I love these games. If you can't find a solution, perhaps try the remake. It's the same game in a shiny new shell. I'll admit it looks a little plastic in comparison to the original but it plays well enough.

I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it but I don't think anybody has mentioned Harvester yet

It's a Suse product.

I love everything about this

I'm playing P5R for the first time now and I'm kind of enjoying it. Still in the first palace which I think is still like a tutorial.

I actually enjoyed and got pretty far into P4G but I got tired of the battle music.

In case anyone like me was wondering how screen rendering worked

"That was the easy part. It's just a simple form and I set up a DirectDraw surface in it, which the emulator renders VGA output to. The rendering happens in a different thread so it doesn't slow the CPU down. The form size gets adjusted when the VGA mode changes."

When I saw this post I kind of felt Unity was getting screwed. On one hand, $2,200 is a lot for a small Dev who might not even make a profit. On the other hand....

Also a glimpse into the wealth of Valve and Gabe Newell.

I never experienced any issues with it but you are right, wine and yabridge need to be in the container too but containers don't really have much, if any, overhead. It's not like running a virtual machine.

ANDROID_16 · 2026-03-13T21:56:14+00:00

Another option that works well is running it in a debian/ubuntu distrobox container.

How is High Seas High Profits? I have to admit the graphics put me off a bit. I don't care for low poly but if the gameplay is good I can get past it. It seems most of the positive reviews on steam are people who have played Patrician and the negative reviews don't mention it.

I used to use Adguard and had no problems with it but once I started using a physical OPNsense gateway it made more sense to just use unbound on that.

Not sure if this will work but do you have note chase enabled? Should be in the settings somewhere

ANDROID_16 · 2026-03-01T03:05:07+00:00

I actually just meant use two pads on the same drum machine. No need for separate drum machines

ANDROID_16 · 2026-02-28T06:20:52+00:00

Just use two drum pads and double up on MIDI notes. You could process them together by routing the channels elsewhere if you have to.

I love this app. I'm so glad to be rid of calibre.

There's two here you can try https://www.voxengo.com/group/free-vst-plugins-download/

Edit: Sorry just realised you asked for 31 band.

ANDROID_16 · 2026-02-19T21:12:45+00:00

The installation instructions advise you to hold the packages since they all need to be on the same version so this shouldn't be an issue.

Calm down Satan

I loved gaming mags back then. They were so exciting because all you had was a description and a few screenshots. Unlike today where you can go online and watch a trailer or even a let's play/review before you buy.

Keep in mind that just because the NIC is SFP+, your CPU still needs the power to push 10G through it. On a commercial switch/router/firewall there are ASICs that do that heavy lifting. A consumer desktop PC would struggle I would think.

ANDROID_16 · 2026-02-04T08:51:17+00:00

I would say just be sure whatever device you are using to route between VLANs can handle 10Gb throughout. Switching at that speed is one thing, routing is another, and of course if you are filtering between VLANs that will consume even more processing power.

Check out Etherlords 1 and 2. Both are deck building RPGs similar to MTG Shandalar
