• Ask HN: What are good resources to learn more about WINE?

  I have tried to find resources (videos or websites) to understand the details of WINE (http://winehq.org) and how to get new applications to run with it, but have had no luck. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Can I use VitualBox to run 32-bit Steam games on an M1 MacBook?

  "WINE is not an emulator" winehq.org originally developed for Linux (I believe). Source: 10 months ago

• I have been called so many slurs with this avatar (PS: Roblox stop blocking wine)

  No, it allows people to use Windows apps on Linux winehq.org you used to be able to play on Linux but roblox goes out of there way to block it and then says they will most likely not make a native Linux client https://devforum.roblox.com/t/proper-support-for-the-linux-platform/56544/112.

• How to Get and Run Rolypolys 2

  Basilisk II, at least for me, had issues when it came to loading game saves. It also had an issue where sound cut out entirely about an hour into the game, so I cannot personally recommend it for this particular game. I was recommended SheepShaver as an alternative. Source: 11 months ago

• [Mac/PC] [90s?] Top down 2D action/arcade game

  ShadowWraith would have run best on a Mac with a 68040 processor, at least 10 MB RAM, running System 7.1, 7.5, or 7.6.1. You could try setting up Basilisk II to run it. MAME’s Mac emulation has also come along quite a bit in the last few years, although it can still be a bit rough around the edges. Source: over 1 year ago

• Anyone have access to Apple’s serial number database? Case refers to a PowerMac10,1 with 1,42GHz G4 but actually boots into a PowerMac10,2 with 1,5GHz G4. SN is YM54904UTAA. Might just be the cleanest and prettiest lunch box Mac I have ever laid my hands on after a restoration job.

  I have a Mac mini (Early 2006) (Intel Core Solo) that I upgraded to a 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo, on which I run the Basilisk II 68k emulator (informative support forums are here). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Any way to open windows 69 word files

  That's actually really good news and explains why they don't have a file extension! It might still take some work, but you could very likely find the exact version of Word that he used to create the files on macintoshgarden.org and could then use something like Basilisk II to run it and open the files. Hopefully from there it's just a simple Save As to something a modern computer can understand. Source: over 2 years ago
