Quoting: Purple Library GuyExamples that stand out in my mind are articles on the CBC website (that's Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Canada's BBC equivalent), where Chrome seems to show the conversation threads below but Firefox does not, and EBSCO, a major player in scholarly journal publication.

Comment threads on CBC seems to work fine here, Firefox 90.0. EBSCO I can't test (I just mooch journals off Sci-Hub).

Try temporary creating a new profile for Firefox (firefox -P from a terminal) for a fresh setup.

Looks like fun!

For some reason I have missed these games, but did play (and enjoy) the demo of The Frogs which I only now found it was inspired by these.

Quoting: slaapliedjeBringing up the decryption for DVD reminds me of all the old shenanigans... like when Debian used to have a non-US repository because it wasn't allowed to install encryption software in the USA... anyone else remember that?

Ah, the old "munitions export without a license" shenanigans!

Quoting: fagnerlnWRC8 is now running here, but sadly my controller don't work

Yeah, these games can be very picky about controllers, even on Windows Sometimes turning Steam Input off for the game works.

Actually, scratch that!

If you're using a controller and not a racing wheel, you need to change the dll overrides and force Windows version to 7 as per these instructions:

Quoting: fagnerlnGreat! I don't know about WRC9, but none of KT/Nacon games works (older WRCs and TT), if they use the same engine, it start to work.

WRC5 to 10 works, or I should say at least starts here. WRC5-7 do have issues with (some?) steering wheels.

Quoting: elmapul"- Add ARM support"
wth '-', serious? there is any wine-arm?

Wine is ported to Android and does (supposedly, I never tried it) run some WinRT applications on ARM.

According to this post from February, it does work on Nvidia, but was very slow:

QuoteHere’s the caveat for all of the above: at present, zink on NV is unusably slow. The primary reason for this is that every frame that gets displayed has to be copied multiple times

I'm not sure if the WSI support, which was mentioned as a potential performance improvement, have since landed?
