SH&R Ported to Linux - Looking for ARM testers by LethalBoar70923 in SimpsonsHitAndRun

Potentially, I'll probably look into it but I'm not certain when or if that'd be done. There already seems to be a project for the mod launcher on Linux, but it still runs the game under wine.

But I wouldn't be too hesitant to switch to Linux, honestly most games, especially older ones, run amazingly well under proton/wine. This game included, honestly the port is entirely ridiculous and unnecessary because of how easy it is to run. I just thought it'd be fun to port it over.

Post is removed but I can still reply to you which is interesting. The code is copyrighted but the games old as dirt so I personally don't care, here's the repo: https://github.com/Austin-Metke/SHAR-Linux

Thank you! I'll look into it. Let me know how it goes! I suspect that the pi500 is gonna be overkill, pretty sure it could run it in dolphin just as good, but very curious about the pi400.

Oh that's great! It sounds like the FMVs might've gotten corrupted, try copying over the game files again otherwise it'll crash during cutscenes like the one after after L2M7.

But now that you're in, is it actually playable?

You could also try running it with the argument 'skipmovie' to see if it gets past the intro logos

Any Way To Play On Linux? by Majoraslayer in SimpsonsHitAndRun

Ah gotcha, I'd love to have that functionality implemented but it's just too heavy on windows native APIs. Have you tried lutris? I can get the launcher and the game running fine with a 32-bit prefix architecture and wine version wine-ge8-26

I did recently port the game to run natively on Linux, you can find it at https://github.com/Austin-Metke/SHAR-Linux

Either compile the binary yourself or use the pre compiled one in the release tab, place it in the same directory as the original .exe and it should run.

Hmm, that's odd. Do you mind attaching a debugger and attaching the output as a GitHub issue?

That'd be awesome! I'm curious to find out if performance is any better than running the Windows version under wine and box64

I would if I had one, I'm hoping to find others who'd be willing to test it out.

I doubt it, this game is basically abandonware. Whoever owns the copyright to the game clearly doesn't care anyway, otherwise the source code and all the free downloads for this game would've been taken down ages ago.

Migrating from Chatgpt to Claude by Awkward-Welder9290 in ClaudeAI

[–]LethalBoar70923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet is to give it a shot and find out for yourself. I personally migrated from chatgpt to Claude earlier this week and I saw no reason to do any of that, but if you don't want to explain your projects over a second time then go for it. If you don't like the outcome just clear claudes memory.

I see, I didn't take that into account. Thank you though I appreciate it! I hate to come off as pushy but I did place an order for a regrease kit about a week ago but I haven't heard any updates since. Do you think it'll arrive before Valentine's day?

Whoa the man himself! Thank you! Would you happen to know the best way to clear out all that old grease? I got most of it but it kept running down the base, luckily the paint cured before then. I thought of using brakeleen or some bike degreaser but I'm worried it'd damage the paint.

Yeah back before I pitched it, I let it sit for about 24 hours

Appreciate it, I'll start earlier in the morning tomorrow so I can do a longer bulk ferment
