Definitely interested. Where is the tool and the packaging instructions for various games hosted? Is there a code repo that can forked and contributed back to?

But isn't that what's happening now, at this very moment?

You're ignoring questions about the quality of the GoG preservation program.

Technical support is delaying responses for over two months.

Definitely agree about Heroic and Lutris. Lutris doesn't even work properly on Cinnamon - when I tried KDE for a while it worked but similarly I didn't want to have to re-download my games to install them. Heroic is more polished at least but stops working after a while when I firewall outbound connections.

Something like Bottles is what I want, but Bottles doesn't work that well either.

I'd love to try ./play.it but I use Fedora so no go there. I did try it with alien but it didn't work that well.

The question also arises: what kind of game saving are we talking about if you deprive us of the original files and the ability to run an old game like Spore on an old computer with Windows 7 or earlier?

Why don't you allow people to modify their games themselves to run on the target system? Just leave the original offline installers as an additional option.

On Debian-based distributions, installation is done with: And generating native packages from a given installer with:

It seems all the links provided in your other news post point to this: https://blackhole.vv222.fr/

I have a spare lenovo p51 thinkpad I no longer use for work and that I really need to get repaired, but after that, I'll have a spare Linux machine I can dedicate to this and try make games on Linux work as time allows. Honestly, this issue bothers me more and more with the passing of the years.

With the time I have right now, working on this from scratch is a non-starter (that would be a project for my older years once my children are older and my career has slowed down), but if there is an existing open body of work that already mostly does what I want and that I can contribute to as code with git using dev methodologies I'm already very familiar with, then sign me up.

It means your ISP is one of many that have been used to attack my server, and are now diverted to this black hole used to poison generative AI crawling bots.

If you know your ISP AS number, it is the only information I need to unblock it. Otherwise I can find its number from your current IP (I’m going to unblock the whole ISP, so it’s not a problem if your IP is dynamic).

EDIT: The following command should give you that information: ---

You’re going to love our contributing rules ;)

I believe I send you a friend request. I'm not 100% sure, but given that I can't message you right now, I assume we may need to be friends on the platform for me to send you the requested info via private messaging.

I don’t use GOG chat at all, I fully disabled it, but this is not really private information anyway ;)

As an illustration, my output for that command is: But if you don’t want to share it here, I only need the value in the AS column (204092 in my example). You can send it to me by e-mail (my-nickname-here-AT-dotslashplay.it), by XMPP (same than e-mail), or on the #play.it IRC channel (OFTC server).
