Since 2006 I have worked on creating Private World of Warcraft servers.
Much has changed in the way of technologies, internet, computers.
At the behest of several good associates, I decided to go ahead and finish that work.
Please, do not ask me for it. It is too large and I've no interest in revealing my true identity.
That being said, what I have created is a Windows 11 x64 based Virtual Machine with a half terrabyte drive. (It started at 20GB, was expanded to 256GB, and then I doubled it again to fit the newer server/clients from Legion on. Even at half a TB it still just barely all fits).
What I have installed onto that drive is Warcraft 1, 2, 3 and expansions, plus, World of Warcraft (the original), and, 9 WoW expansions.
That is to say, the games, clients, and servers so that they can all be played on your own computer.
My own custom frontend to pick between Warcraft, WoW, WoW expansions.
Select one of the 3 original Warcraft, or...
Select the original WoW, or..
Select from the 9 expansions.
I have also included a plethora of tools.
This is a screenshot of Dragonflight...
So, that has been the BIG project keeping me busy this past month. Updating and adding and making work all of that.
Now, I have a major MAME upgrade to do and then I have about 10TB of games to sort out.
