Quoting: Avehicle7887Newer Wine versions can still be used and compiled without FAudio, the staging patches even reverted the FAudio commits.

You can, but I mean simply using WineHQ builds. They enable faudio now. Luckily, Debian maintainers just reviewed faudio submission, so it should enter unstable soon.

I wish Debian developers would get around to reviewing faudio. It's still stuck and not moving:

That prevents using Wine past 4.2 there.

Question is how. Will they use OpenHMD or some blobs? I hope full open stack will be an option.

Quoting: constThanks, but no. I told you the conditions under which I'd raise my voice. Maybe something else will happen, that will change my mind. I wish you best luck, anyway. It's not like I'm against them doing it. ;)

As I wrote in the other thread, your silence equals approval of the opposite direction in this case. I.e. it's easy for them to look at it and say "since no one said anything, then everyone is OK with what we are doing". So that's disappointing, but up to you of course.

I recommend you to avoid speculating about "why", looking for excuses why they shouldn't do it, and instead voice your support for them doing it. You can do it here:

Not impossible to automate. And Google with their resources are exactly in good position to help automating a lot of it. They want to get involved in gaiming, then can bring major benefits for developers to attract them.

The downside of VirtualBox - their USB passthrough is not open source, and it's very messy. Qemu/KVM works a lot better.

There are closed commercial VM solutions, but there are great open source ones as well, so no need to pirate anything :)

Quoting: tonRSpeaking about VM, how/where should i start?

I am seriously want to upgrade or buy a new PC this year but as modern CPU no longer supports Win XP, I'm kinda 50:50.

I want to learn about VM because most old school phones' for PC software backup such as Sony Ericsson PC Suite/PC Companion, Nokia PC Suite/Link and Samsung Kies (for non-Android) runs stably on Win XP.

Hope y'all or anyone please give some advice.. Thanks guys..

I prefer to use Qemu/KVM + libvirt for that purpose. virt-manager is a good GUI solution for it.

Figuring out stuff though can take time, but it's worth it.

See: https://virt-manager.org [External Link]

Start with installing virt-manager, it usually pulls qemu and kvm related packages already. The basic functions in the UI are pretty straightforward, and there are various tutorials and tips on more complex ones, which you can find around the net.

You can use local user qemu session first, to avoid more complex system level qemu session (virt manager provides a choice which session to connect to). Make sure your user also belongs to libvirt and kvm groups:

sudo usermod -a -G libvirt,kvm your_user

Quoting: x_wingSo, you think that game devs doesn't have such tests, don't you?

I said Google can help. I.e. reducing the costs for it. You said that was the concern, not I. I don't think it's a major cost, but if Google can help, it will be even lower.
