Calling for gaming experiences

mkxp-z has official ppc64le binaries now. That's kinda cool. If there exist any other games with official ppc64le binaries, I haven't seen them.

The VkDoom project is an effort to improve GZDoom's renderer performance with Vulkan, and I'm happy to report that it runs substantially better on Power9 than GZDoom if you have the right hardware for it. Build instructions are essentially identical to vanilla GZDoom, and outside of the lack of a ZScript JIT it runs very well.

DSDA-Doom and Woof are also excellent ports, and run much faster. Have fun Dooming.

Tested and added the PC port for Star Fox 64.

I also tried getting Nazi Zombies Portable built and tested but ran into an issue building fteqw, which seemed to insinuate that I didn't have the right libraries installed on my system when I in fact did.

If somebody smarter than me wants to give it a spin, it would be appreciated. https://github.com/nzp-team/nzportable

Just for fun, I tried to get minecraft working with prism launcher on gentoo to test my GPU, and I even patched the DRM out because my old mojang account won't work. It doesn't seem to work out of the box with lwjgl. How did you all go about building lwjgl?

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask PC port also added.

Ocarina of Time requires a newer version of cmake (3.26+), so that one is on hold for me.

Something to look into: Command and Conquer series open-sourced.

Just want to bring to attention the excellent discovery of Valhalla, which I believe to be built on Tesseract. It is very well polished with beautiful 3D maps.

For anyone interested, building involves

* libGL (OpenGL)
* SDL2 (>= 2.0.0)
* SDL2_image
* SDL2_mixer
* libpng
* libjpeg
* zlib

And git clone the game date into the ~/main directory of the game repo.

Run in-place:

Code Select Expand

~/main$ ./source/tess_client
