Plain old xterm has a VT340 mode (`-ti vt340`) that supports ReGIS. I'm not sure whether it is complete enough for games to work.

- thristian 12y agoI don't know how much ReGIS it supports, but it very definitely supports sixel graphics quite nicely: https://mediacru.sh/plKQQj7ymWNT https://mediacru.sh/plKQQj7ymWNT The only limitation I've found is that the standard ppmtosixel conversion tool spits out 8-bit control-characters, but xterm seems to only recognise their 7-bit equivalents (hence the sed command in that screenshot).
- LukeShu 12y agoUTF-8 mode is interfering with the 8-bit control-characters. Give `+u8` to disable UTF-8 mode.
- LukeShu 12y agoIt won't let me edit the comment, but I should throw in: xterm must be compiled with `--enable-regis-graphics` (or `--enable-sixel-graphics` for sixel graphics) for it to work. Your distro's xterm might not have been compiled with those flags.
- ChuckMcM 12y agoThis was the case for me, but rebuilt from source and it worked fine. Given the code exists I wonder why it isn't more common in terminal emulators. Its really handy when you want to pop up a simple picture or a line drawing.
- mzs 12y agomlterm does sixels at least too.
