Playing Quake on the Internet of Things...

You're all set now, go get things that use the framebuffer! I didn't go for X.org, but here's what I tried:

  1. SDL Quake (remove -mpentium from configure before build)
    1. Get SDL 1.2: https://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php first; the prereqs can be annoying - Google when/if you hit libPNG errors, you just need to rename the NULLs.
  2. Nano-X (this one took some work to compile, you should use Alex-T's Repos)
  3. Dosbox (It uses SDL)
    1. Quake (Yeah, I have two ways to run Quake - weird)
    2. Warcraft
    3. Simcity 2000
    4. Not sure, only tried those three... probably most anything, though.
  4. DirectFB (I had issues, but lots of demos will run)
