JSGME on Linux/Wine

You know, on Ubuntu, Linux Lite, PC Linux, Mint and others, I have not got SH4 to work at all under Wine. I'd be interested in knowing how you tweaked Wine to get SH4 to run at all. Eventually, I expect Microsoft to be so draconian that running Windows any further will be unthinkable. I'd love not to lose SH4 when that happens.

Right now my Linux solution is a copy of Windows XP running in VirtualBox. It's good but not ideal because I can't let XP see the Internet without potential problems. Sure, they'd have to penetrate hardware and software firewalls, plus anti-malware and anti-viral software, but being owned is possible there.

As it is now Microsoft is sneaking all the malware/spyware features of Windows 10 into Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. As a matter of fact, if you own one of those operating systems, chances are Microsoft has already downloaded the entirety (over 4 GB worth at your expense!) of Windows 10 onto your machine without your knowledge or permission. Google is your friend. Check it out and verify) Your operating system is becoming malware. It no longer is the customer serving platform to run all your software from. Its primary function is to deliver advertising and mine you for information they can sell and not give you any option to opt out or share the revenue.
