AMD will be showing off their Zen CPU Architecture and letting people play with it on December 13th

Quoting: Comandante oardoI want the return of the old fashion CPUs: A pure CPU only. I don't want to pay for an integrated GPU garbage that I will not use.

I really miss the old AMD days of CPUs with hidden cores.

One of the few upsides to integrated GPUs is they usually come with hardware encoders/decoders. They're also a nice, handy backup for when everything decides to break on you.

Oh, crap, I could go on forever. I can't limit it to one!

Septerra Core, an rpg from 1999 is another Wine-port from Topware Interactive

Quoting: Magamo
Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI guess we can say WINE is spiritually the new DOSbox. There is an entire horde of games from between ~1999 to ~2007 that could use these faux-ports. Like you say, I don't really care how they get to my display so long as the installation and runtime is seamless.
To be fair: Wine has been around a LOT longer than DOSBox. It's also still being updated. I've not seen a new release of DOSbox in.... over 4 years now.

There are some forks of DOSBox out there, but I think the important thing is that DOSBox works Well Enough (TM).

I'm sure it could be better, though.

Quoting: RichieEBAmazing, I really hope they focus on this game. This was a game that I had wished to be on Linux to play in my spare time and now it's actually happening. ArmA 3 and 7 Days To Die for the win.
It _happened_ 18 months ago ...

Well, kind of. I mean, their Linux version is always behind the Windows version, so I can't play with my friends from Linux :(
