Title: new Live CD with RAINE
Post by: ammi on November 05, 2010, 02:26:43 am

Please, have a look at the new Live distribution ZXRAINE with only 41.5 MB.
It is like ZXMAMECD 0.81 (www.zxmamecd.eu (http://www.zxmamecd.eu)), but smaller and faster - only with RAINE.
(with USB/HDD-Installer). Runs on older hardware like hell (e. g. Thin Client 1 GHz).

One of the great features is "preloading games" to several workspaces.
(Small video how this works: http://www.zxmamecd.eu/download/zxraineb5.mpg (http://www.zxmamecd.eu/download/zxraineb5.mpg) )

You could download the last Beta (Beta 5) which runs fine.

For more information you could have a look at the RAINE Homepage:

Yes, RAINE is still being developed and in fact, support for Mac OSX was just added. Very nice, thanks Tux!

Now with Fluxbox Windowmanager it is fun running more than one RAINE on several workspaces
or group some games in one Window with Tabs (see screenshot, Ghouls, 1944 aso).
Have fun! ;)
