Running Bryce3D in a VM on linux (linux host and guest, debian blends)

TTTThis
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine wine32 winetricks -y

... BUT if you're using KALI THIS PROBABLY WON'T WORK SO INSTALL DIRECTLY WITH

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks -O /usr/local/bin/winetricks
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/winetricks
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/brycecd
sudo mount -o loop /home/YOURCOMPUTERNAME/Downloads/Bryce3DCD.iso /mnt/brycecd
WINEPREFIX=~/.bryce3d WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

... Now Wine Configuration will pop up, so just click “OK”, or do this (if you click OK and want to do it, because the graphics for original Bryce computers were different), do WINEPREFIX=~/.bryce3d winecfg

...

cd /mnt/brycecd
WINEPREFIX=~/.bryce3d wine SETUP.EXE

... Bryce 3D launches

... Bryce guides you through it's installation (to the virtual C drive Wine has already created). Just give it any name and serial number.
