It needs 256 color mode supposedly to run and the only realistic way to do that with wine / linux is with xephyr and I didn't happen to compile that in when I compiled X years ago. Now gentoo doesn't have the original sources for my version of X so I can't just recompile it with the same version, and the upgraded version wants upgraded video card drivers, and that pisses off my tensorflow install which I need to stay at that exact same version.

So I have to download and virtualbox an old windows. I'm going in boys!

Actually that's exactly what I used. Had a qemu windows build that sits on another HD I believe, and is completely bootable as well.

So if I need that build native, I just reboot into it. Otherwise qemu it.
