Quoting: GuestHow does one manage to make a distribution that doesn't support native Linux games? That sounds like royal kludge.

chromeOS?

Improved game compatibility compared to other devices on the market.

all?

What games will run on Playtron?

While thousands of games are already compatible with Playtron in its pre-alpha stage, our official game support program is currently under development and review.

some...

How will Playtron deal with anti-cheat on Linux?

Playtron is working with interested partners to enable anti-cheat services.

that coming from the company who said game developers dont need to worry about cheaters because its based on an immutable distro...

Quoting: emphyWhatsup with that? Does the pachislot machine happen to be a place where one can gamble away real money, either directly or via in-game fantasy currency?

i think they want to make sure that people who want to gamble spend on real gamble.

Quoting: elmapulits good to see that big companies are starting to support linux thanks to the steam deck, but lets be honest, this is the bare minimum, GFN already worked it was just a matter of then making it official, and the fact that it took so long...

If they want to make it official, then they should make a client like they do with Windows and Mac so that we don't have to use a browser. Otherwise, this is no better than what Microsoft does when they tell you how to play Xcloud on the Steam Deck.

what is the difference? afaik their client is just an chromium/electron anyway

Quoting: elmapuli bet they did that because wine/dosbox already can run 100% of dos 4.0 games/softwares, so it would be useless to keep this codebase proprietary anyway and by open sourcing it they create an good image for thenselves.

And if DOSBox wouldn't run the games? They'd sell MSDOS 4.0?

if dosbox cant run, probably the game was made for MSDOS 5.0, 6.0 or something like that.

that is exactly what im saying, if the full scope of an tech is already supported by an open source alternative, there is no reason to keep the secret an secret anymore.

Quoting: elmapulthis was like, my first PC game ever!
im not even kidding, it was not my first gaming system since i had an n64, but when i saw the graphics i was stunned.

anyway i never finished it =p

Yeah, this game came free with my Voodoo graphics card, and I loved it.

i paid like 6.50R$ (nowadays that is about 1.2 us dollars, but back then it was something like 3.25 us dollars)
it was dirty cheap compared to n64 games who were about 60~120 R$ (actually i think the only reason we were able to buy 2 for the price of one was because the games were already cheaper than the standard price and we made an deal to purchase 2 if we got an disccount)

the graphics were also more impressive than n64 games.
