Isn't WINE notorious for being buggy? If I am correct, Thief: The Dark Project requires NewDark to work properly. I am a bit of a traditionalist and like to use the 1.14 original release.

Linux is also not a very good ideal, since dual boot can be notoriously unstable. I think I rather have separate designated computers than risk a Linux/Windows mix.

So it might be good for a second computer, but at that point you might as well have an older build PC alongside your modern one. The main benefit would be for video recording and other such functionality; I like to archive game footage.

As wrappers can fix Thief on Windows, it might be a better ideal, but old Direct3d files I have been unable to get working.

For example, the original version of WorldCraft cannot run on anything modern. By modern, I mean anything Windows NT, including Windows XP. VMs can't run it due to lack of hardware acceleration.

Would be nice to get a Linux build dedicated for stuff like this. But to do that would require a second computer unless I wish to gamble with an unstable boot that could corrupt my OS. If I go a second computer, it makes sense to go for one with Windows 98SE. When the choice is between risking a computer build that will maybe be able to run it and a computer build that will most likely run it, I think the latter makes more sense.

Except DOSBox Daum is highly buggy. You can't use Dynamic cycles, which means it can barely run Quake on anything more than the default resolution.

If you know how to work around this, please share, I have been trying with this particular limitation for a while. I use OBS for video capture and desktop resolution screenshots, but it seems OBS doesn't like to hook up with regular DOSBox, meaning I am stuck on Daum.
