Installed in vmware 20H1 and worked w/o problems at the first try
I didn't expect it had even Glide support. So if the good day is seen from the morning... 😉

I just noticed you've updated the artifacts in the Release.
I'm a bit confused. The "machine" package seems to suggest I need to run this from... an existing Linux install with ext4?
Originally I considered putting kernel.elf on the same boot partition (FAT32) that I used for everything from DOS to Windows just I wasn't able to boot it using GRUB4DOS' "chainloader". Will consider trying booting it using "kernel" directive again but what do I need to put in the folder that would be "C:\RETROOS".
I'm currently assuming "C:\RETROOS" would be the exact folder on my DOS boot partition (FAT32), but some docs seem to suggest this folder be virtual and read-only so I'm not sure...
I kind of understood the details after reading the BOOTING.md.
I tried to actually boot the kernel via GRUB4DOS after extracting machine_boot.tar to my target machine's main boot partition (FAT32), using "kernel" directive with "ram-overlay". It launched but alas it failed to boot.

Not sure if this error message contains any possible hint. I'm testing this on my X99 system and the SATA disks are AHCI.
