Features
Play
How
Download my distro ISO and boot it in either VMware or QEMU
The TempleOS installer has been modified to provide the option of playing the game without installing TempleOS
If you choose to install TempleOS you will be getting the canonical final release (1a1ec79) modified to 60FPS and ChudBound 2 added to the /Home directory. You can use this as a starting point to create your own TempleOS video games.
VMware (Recommended, best performance)
Configure as "Other 64bit", remove soundcard, networking. At least 4 cores is highly recommended, along with several GB of RAM. More cores requires more RAM. Performance scales with cores.
I use CTRL+ALT+WIN to escape the VM to avoid TempleOS keybind conflicts
QEMU
qemu-system-x86_64 -audiodev sdl,id=snd0 -machine pc,accel=kvm,pcspk-audiodev=snd0 -drive file=templeos.qcow2,index=0,media=disk -cdrom ChudBound2-0.420.ISO -m 4G -smp 8
VirtualBox
NOT RECOMMMENDED due to historically poor performance relating to VGA I/O.
