Vulkan-based implementation of D3D7 for Linux / Wine, spun off from DXVK.
A Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 7, which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine. It uses DXVK's d3d9 backend as well as Wine's ddraw implementation (or the windows native ddraw) and acts as a proxy between the two, providing a minimal d3d7-on-d3d9 implementation. The project is currently in its early days. Expect most things to run, but not necessarily correctly or optimally.

The original IBM PC and other machine emulations in JavaScript.
PCjs uses JavaScript to emulate a small collection of hardware and software that I grew up with in the 1970s and 1980s, allowing you to experience their slow CPUs, low-resolution displays, and primitive sound effects, all in the comfort and safety of your desktop or mobile web browser.
Over time, PCjs emulations have expanded to include selected IBM PC Compatibles and more classic machines, such as Minicomputers, Programmable Calculators, Terminals, and Arcade Games. To learn more or contribute to these very modest preservation efforts, visit the PCjs open-source project on GitHub.

Bugfix DLL for SimCity 2000 Special Edition (1996) .
This is a DLL that patches the Special Edition (and 1995 CD Collection) release of SimCity 2000 for Windows 95 to work properly on modern Windows systems (Windows 7-11 and Wine/Proton). While the game itself is capable of running at high resolutions, oversights in the game's programming and techniques designed for use with 256-colour SVGA cards common in the mid 1990s cause problems with animations on truecolour displays. It also resolves the crashes that can occasionally happen with the load/save dialog boxes using a similar technique to Aleksander Krimsky's SC2000X patcher, but sc2kfix does so on in memory instead of creating a patched copy of your original EXE files.
