Hey guys, here's a quick howto run AGS on an emulator from ports. The Amiga Game Selector is a huge library of Amiga games, programs and demos constructed to work out of the box on many types of systems - original hardware, FPGA implementations, multiemu systems like Retroarch, and UAE based...

I have been running a vanilla minecraft server for some time, and wanted to add a mod instance. I have setup a jail for this, and within the jail, vanilla minecraft server is working in daemon mode fine. The specific mods require 1.21.1 and Forge/Neoforge. I was able to "downgrade" from...

Hey all! Ow wow! I am moving over to Free BSD. The laptop I use for that is really shaping up. Okay, still a lot to learn (background image on XFCE, partitioning and such...stuff) On Linux, I sometimes dive in my Second Life. I use Firestorm for that, but I did not find it as yet. Is Second Life...

i followed the instructions for installing steam according to Ai AI Overview Installing Steam on FreeBSD is achieved by using the linux-steam-utils package, which leverages FreeBSD's Linux binary compatibility (Linuxulator) to run the Linux version of Steam. The process involves enabling Linux...

Sorry for the noob question, but is it possible to use xbox 360 controller like gamepad on freeBSD or just inside Kodi with its specific addon?

Development on Hytale is moving fast. This is an in-progress how-to current as of version 2026.01.28-87d03be09. If you've tried running a dedicated Hytale server, you've encountered an error about a missing library, and the server failed to start. There is a workaround! This guide explains...

I use niri, hmcl launcher, and openjdk24. When I run java -jar hmcl.jar, it said no x11. Then I turned hyprland and xwayland, it worked, but Minecraft on xwayland was too laggy. So I turned back niri. But it's output changed. It doesn't say no x11 anymore though it can't open display

From what I'm reading lately; the current gaming landscape is not looking too good. Windows 11 is a s**t show, next gen consoles aren't looking too promising, Steam is on a steady downhill (i've never really been a fan of steam anyway..), and as much as I love Apple Silicon - it doesn't provide...

I am encountering some issues running a couple of games. One of the issues is, I believe, with running 32-bit Windows games. For example, if I try to run The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind with FreeBSD Wine compatibility enabled, I get the following error...

The UZDoom (forked from GZDoom, now the successor to it) team is looking to improve UNIX support for UZDoom, but they don't have any maintainers for the BSDs. I don't have enough experience with the way UZDoom works internally (kind of a messy project as it was forked from a complete mess) and I...

My limited knowledge and Google-Fu are not coming together in solving an audio problem that I'm having. I have Steam installed via linux-steam-utils, and it runs great. I have been able to successfully install two games, but I can only get one of them to run. I cannot get the audio to work for...

I am working on a port of qtads. I have it mostly finished and it passes portlint. However, ive noticed that it installs icons to /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor and one of them conflicts with gargoyle. Both of these are interpreters that run interactive fiction games. Gargoyle is kinda of a...

Hello everyone, i wanted to let you know that I’ve submitted a Minigalaxy port 284721 and since the PR took roots for a long time as expected, I want to give you the opportunity to test it out or simply enjoy it anyway. The port is straightforward and doesn’t have the polish I’d like to add to...

Hey there! I was wondering: Time ago I was starting with FreeBSD and suddenly this application came out. It is supposed to be a bit like Lutris on freeBSD (but for what I remember, it felt more like the GUI for winetricks). In any case, I couldn't use it for much, as my computer at the time is...

I have spent some thoughts about how to arrange information regarding game console emulators which are either added newly to FreeBSD or are getting a meaningful modification. Since I know that there is interest into that topic, and users are unhappy of how for example dolphin-emu forces audio...
