The Software may be either applications that run on the console itself or on a desktop computer if the program/project is a development tool.

Source-ports are also listed if possible. https://reddit.com/r/theouterlinux Mon, September 01 2024 EmulationStation with emulators included [email protected] Emulation/Software/Computers/Consoles/Video Games https://archive.org/download/ES-DE-TOL/EmulationStation_Desktop_Edition-x86_64.AppImage https://archive.org/download/ES-DE-TOL/EmulationStation_Desktop_Edition-x86_64.AppImage In case no one knew this, a version of EmulationStation Desktop Edition was put together in which emulators are included without protected ROMs if required.

Just wanted to let people know that more links have been added to the Recommended Software's Console (as in video game and ) and Online sections. The "Consoles" section now includes links to software and games for calculators. I have also added an "Other" section for recommendations regarding arcade, source-ports, and game engines. And, in regards to the "Apple" software recommendations, I have added a lot of links, specifically for those with 32-bit x86 (i686) Snow Leopard and 32-bit iOS mobile devices (iPhone 5 and/or iPad 2 and older). I tried to create a PlayStation 3 (PS3) friendly "homepage" but apparently, Gitlab and the PS3 web browser do not get along; it is probably SSL-related. https://reddit.com/r/theouterlinux Wed, January 08 2025 Do not forget about the Docs section [email protected] Website/Computers/Documentation https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io/Public/Docs/desktop.html https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io/Public/Docs/desktop.html I have nothing in place to tell me where people are visiting when they go to the website. So, if you have not taken a look at the "Docs" section, I highly recommend that you do so as it contains a LOT of information regarding free and open-source software and things for older hardware. If you click the link from a mobile device, it should redirect to a "mobile.html" file instead of the "desktop.html". https://reddit.com/r/theouterlinux Wed, January 08 2025 Blender 2.79b Addons [email protected] Blender/3D/Modeling/Addons https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io/Software/Linux/Graphics/desktop.html https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io/Software/Linux/Graphics/desktop.html If anyone out there prefers Blender 2.79b over the newer versions, open the link and scroll down to "Blender" and there is a list of addons for Blender 2.79b with download links. https://reddit.com/r/theouterlinux Wed, January 08 2025 Added redirects [email protected] Website https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io Redirects have finally been added in a way so if were to input a URL that ends in a directory rather than an HTML file, it should redirect to the main HTML file relative to that directory if appropriate.

Also, I created a Mac OS X-only BASH script to quickly batch change the Finder-related icons for games; see "CoverSetter.sh" on the website's Projects page; it may not work on newer Mac OS X systems; USE AT OWN RISK. I have also started changing (correcting?) table-related HTML for desktop versions of pages since "tbody" has been used but without "thead" and that is why things may look a little different now than they were the last RSS post. https://reddit.com/r/theouterlinux Tue, October 28 2025 Changed "Amstrad" to "Interpreters" [email protected] Website https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io https://theouterlinux.gitlab.io There is no longer a Recommended Software category for Amstrad computers.
