Back in the day I had a dual boot machine and was using a corner skin of Winamp on the Windows side and missed this on the Linux side.

So I started reverse engineering the Winamp skinning engine with the intention of making an engine that can run it on one of the Linux media apps. I did this by writing short programs and looking at the generated binary.

I had about 95% of it figured out when we had a robbery and the thief took the laptop I was using. By the time I got a new machine I had completely lost interest!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was using a well known VM that I just didn't know about at the time!
