Current status and future goals
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 1:21 am
MechVM has reached a number of goals, including easy installation of MW2 and the creation of certain content patches. At the same time, other projects have come to fruition. MechWarrior: Living Legends and the upcoming MechWarrior Online come to mind here. Working on a simulation in MechVM has received little attention.
As such, I get the impression that my work is needed more in other places, but it seems that MechVM can still play a role. I am speaking of many games similar to MW2, which can be made to work with some tweaks and patches. In the future, I think MechVM will focus on installing numerous games and programs. I am currently looking into X-Wing Alliance and Monkey Island 3, which have 16-bit installers that do not work under Windows 64 bit. If you know of more games, please let me know. I would try to obtain games that I don't alread possess on Ebay, when they are available cheaply.
In order to ease installing these games, I am currently working on a scripting language. This will make these games easier to install.
Please let me know what you think.
