I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

Are you on debian? I heard the recommended distro is arch.

That’s the other issue. It’s impractical to always use Arch.

My main use case for pirated games is steam deck or a Bazzite based machine. Trying to get dwarfs on these systems is a pain I’m not willing to struggle through. Not when I can load up a fitgirl repack in a Bottle and have it installed 5 minutes later.

Even on my workstation, which is arch, I can get another repack going easily without needing to install dwarfs from the aur.

JC’s repacks might be good, but they’re a hassle that requires a new workflow to setup.

That is the point. You can just install any repack with wine. What is the meaning of hosting a seedbox and repacking selective games? I read this from the admin

They are a hassle yes but the end result is good from my experience.

Yeah, I had one working at some point but the others didn't work out. It really does seem like Wine GE is where it's at for me, it just works like 99% of the time no matter who the repacker is.
