Interesting! Could use some improvements but I appreciate it regardless!

About how the server was made, the Windows 7 protocol was reversed (it's an XML protocol, so things are more sensible), while information about Windows XP games' protocol message structures was obtained from their source code.

btw, wine could run Zone Internet Games Server,

so the linux support exists but not natively

Very interesting, for some reason I never tried that. But since Wine provides those required Windows APIs (including Winsock2) it makes sense!

[v1RRY]

about that, i tried it and it is unstable, every 5 minutes connected matches disconnect and S/R (Sender and Receiver's) matches are delayed, so for exampe 1st players turn is made, but on 2nd player's side, it shows up only after 5 seconds

Tested with 2 Devices:
ASUS X515MA RA on Debian 13 (Trixie)
ThinkPad T430 on Windows 7 (Think OEM)
