Next logical step would be WASM, I suppose. Then I could easily show everyone in the world 12-year-old-tombert's masterpiece "Fatso Man and Tarzan Baby".
ETA: I'm gonna give it a go with Claude tonight. Need to justify my $100 membership somehow.
A very impressive use of the tool to achieve a pretty impressive amount of style within the limitations.

Your point stands, it's very impressive. But Dragon in America was a cut above even that. Just look at the "chase scene" starting at 10:00 (even just 15 seconds should be enough to make my point)
For anyone not familiar with 3DMM, there was no facility to move "the camera" to any apparent camera movement was just moving each primitive object, as far as I know, one piece at a time.

More info from the other chap involved in the port:
And 86Box it's a joke compared to the raw performance you can get with DosBOX-X with the dynamic recompiled and some updated W98SE machine in order to RE some old games to run under ScummVM (the Spanish "Touch Games" from Bialplen made for these touch friendly arcade machines with solitaires, Trivia games and such).

I don’t care about products, I just want my 3D movie maker at a silky smooth 120fps as it was intended

Here is the blog series from the dev working on the Linux side of the port. (It was a group effort - both authors are very clear about the contributions from the other, it's really nice to read a story like this!) https://www.ilande.co.uk/2026/04/06/porting-3dmm-to-linux-pa...

I had forgotten how much time I spent with this software until I saw the screenshot. Thanks for the port!
I remember this source was released a while back and some people hacked it together to run on modern Windows.
Yay!

Man, that client was the bane of any IRC Chan-op's existence when it came out.

As a kid without internet, I didn’t even know it was a chat! I liked printing stupid comics

wow, such an amazing job! really a gymkhana of libraries to port/change. makes me think in the (unknown future) portability of the software I create today

I had never heard of this piece of software before. I would be very interested in trying it out on Linux.

It actually works reasonably well from what I can tell, though I haven't thoroughly tested it.
That said, yeah, I'll see if i can bundle the fonts tonight.

Just about any *nix platform is a better experience now, but many Steam games are still windows only. =3
86box is a great option for old programs and games... no herculean porting efforts required. =3
