Applications and Porting / Little Snitch for Linux!

« Last post by rjzak on April 10, 2026, 10:00:56 pm »

The creators of Little Snitch, a common application-layer firewall for Mac OS, have created a Linux version which is partially open source: https://github.com/obdev/littlesnitch-linux, https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch-linux/download.html.

I have an email thread with one of the devs for PowerPC support, which seems positive!

Yeah, it's worked for a while, just took some twiddling and manual intervention to prevent it from trying to load Clover.

It's been awhile, perhaps you should give it another a go

Applications and Porting / Re: [GAMES] UT99, UTGOLD, UT2004 on native PPC64LE!

« Last post by MPC7500 on March 30, 2026, 09:21:52 am »

There is AntiDrv.

* Our patch includes a brand new OpenGL 3.3 / ES 3.0 renderer, AntiDrv. This renderer outperforms the original OpenGLDrv on most platforms, adds new features (e.g., shader-based gamma/color correction), implements/fixes several features that were missing/broken in the original OpenGLDrv (e.g., gradient projectors and weightmap terrain rendering), makes features that were previously nvidia/amd-exclusive available on all platforms (e.g., CO_AlphaBlend_With_Mask combiners), and it can serve as a reference implementation for other new renderers

ReleaseNotes

But there is a Vulkan renderer for Unreal Tournament (UT99) repo.

You are right, the game is indeed not CPU bound. It's not clear to me if OldUnreal team has any plan to add Vulkan renderer for UT2004.
