A GL 4.3 / SDL3 modernization with gamepad support, render scaling, display presets, and Flatpak packaging, aimed at current hardware while staying mod-compatible.

This is a reimplementation of an underrated RTS/ 3rd person action hybrid game called Sacrifice. Made by the legendary, and always unique studio: Shiny Entertainment; known for Earth Worm Jim 1 and 2, MDK and Messiah.

I haven't tried this port yet myself, but I'm excited to run this natively on modern hardware.

In case anyone is wonder why progress on the emulator appears slow or feature requests feel ignored, we are currently still understaffed and have, in addition to new bugs reported every day that have to be fixed, a backlog of items on our internal TODO list such as:

• EISA;
• Turbo Button for XT PCs;
• Emulation of the ESS Solo-1;
• PD (Phase-change Dual) and DVD-RAM support;
• IBM Expanded Memory Adapter (XMA);
• Passthrough of real CD/DVD drives to the emulator on macOS;
• Support for cloneCD and TOC CD-ROM image files;
• Mitsumi CD-ROM emulation (it would also allow eventual emulation of the Tandy VIS).

In addition, we are currently in severe need of developers and/or maintainers for the following:

• New dynamic recompiler;
• macOS support;
• Emulation of the NEC PC-98 family of computers;
• A potential built-in non-GDBSTUB debugger to replace the current GDBSTUB implementation;
• Our SDL backend;
• The ImGui OSD;
• The Qt UI.

We would also appreciate anyone who could help the fixing of issues that get reported to our GitHub or in our Discord server.

EDIT: v0.9 released

and a dark version

I really just put a bunch of pieces together. Forked from Reactionary Plus, but swapped out the icons, cursors, window decorations, color scheme, and made some slight tweaks to the layout.

More screenshots and changelogs here: https://store.kde.org/p/2330858

To install this, open System Settings, go to Colors & Themes -> Global Theme. In the top right there's a button for "Get New...", wait for it to load (it's very slow) then search for reactionary, and wait again, then install Reactionary 98.

This is my first time messing with any of this stuff, it was a bit janky lol.

After eXoDOS, eXoWin3 and others, finally the first volume of eXoWin9x.
