>>100196392Because of this I've been archiving fully-installed games instead of the CD iso/patches used to install the game. Less space is taken up and it's easier to manage. Just copy and paste the game folder. Until I run into problems I will keep doing this because it seems to work universally.
I wonder if you can repackage old Windows games by just stuffing them into a Flatpak archive with the appropriate version of Wine or Proton.
I use WINE on Windows 11 to run old games by copying WINE's D3D6/7 DLLs and putting them in the game directory. WINE ON WINDOWS NIGGA
