Is it possible to do this with a VM? about steamforwarder HOT 4 CLOSED

In theory it is possible to build project that provides such an integration (it could be done via wrapping steam api calls to network packets and passing it through VMs network adapter).

But this project is only provides the wine-specific realization of the wrapper.

It uses wine native mechanism of making linux side calls from the windows side code, so no network stuff is necessary. More about that can be found here and especially here. Most of the SteamForwarder code is automatically generated routine that just declares a method or a function for windows call conventions and calls the linux-side steam api method inside the implementation. The interesting parts can be only found in callback related code and in methods that return CSteamID (there is some magic to fit windows call conventions)

Seems like a question a bit outdated and was already answered, so I'm closing it.
