AI Analysis

●●SolidWizardryRabbit Hole

Got Deltarune and Cogmind running on a hobby OS with real WoW64 and LDT support.

Strengths
  • Real kernel-level work implementing LDT segment descriptors for 32-bit code
  • Patched Mesa to enable DRI backend when xlib EGL wasn't supported
  • WoW64 mode avoids needing full 32-bit userspace on 64-bit-only OS
Weaknesses
  • Hobby OS with tiny audience — not a shippable product others can use
  • Wine port still incomplete with OpenGL support requiring significant patches
Target Audience

Operating system developers and systems programmers
