virt-manager Configuration & Launching!

Download a release from Github and follow the instructions for that release. Currently the steps are:

• Clone/Download kvm98-3dfx.zip from the repo and extract it to an accessible directory.
• Clone/Download kvm98-3dfx.xml from the repo.
• I found a quirk with libvirtd & QEMU on Ubuntu you will need to run the following from the cloned directory if not already present

sudo cat qemuconf >> /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

• Create Blank VM in virt-manager.
• In virt-manager preferences enable XML editing.
• Edit in a text editor kvm98-3dfx.xml and change the UUID to be anything different (change a single digit)
• Change the location of kvm98-3dfx.img to match your current filesystem
• (Optional) Change the location of data.iso to match your current filesystem
• Copy & Paste text XML into the Settings/Overview page in virt-manager for the Blank VM.
• Click OK/Apply.
• Close the current VM window and a new VM called "kvm98-3dfx" would have been created.
• Double check the PCI Device by either changing the Hardware ID or by removing the pre-installed device and adding your own in virt-manager
• Power up the VM
• Play GAMES!
