WineX

[Schotty]

I bought online the WineX stuff. I am really impressed. I could never get wine to work right and now all of the games that had any support before work just beautifully!! Starcraft and Diablo 2 have been resurrected Now if Rogue Spear would just run.......

I got the cvs version, and aside from some font problems (with write.exe as a test) it seems to run fine. Now if I could just figure out why Populous: The Beginning doesn't find the cd .... or a no cd crack.

Can somebody give me more info on winex? I would like to get my Halflife and such to work, along with diablo2....

[praetorian]

Can someone post a link to where we can download WineX. I'd like to give it a try.

This one ?


But please reconsider the use of Windows Emulation, this not pure and good... Rather it's evil and filthy !!!

yes I understand this, but I will want to be able to play my cool windows games in linux, and not have to boot into wintendo, which isn't free either, and more evil.....

i havent gotten counter strike to run yet.
i'm also using winex.
anyone got it running?

Well here, if you want the rpm of the non free version, I can send it to you. However I need the Boy Scouts honor that if you use it you at least sign up for ONE measley month. You pay for one and get one free.

Lest see -- the free version sucks alot since it doesnt do safedisc. Half life and Diablo 2 work like a charm on my box. The one game (series) that I despartely need to get working is Rogue Spear. Starcraft and Castle Wolfenstein work fine for me. Email me if you want it.

Oh -- Lovechild -- I agree that emulations sucks since it will never be perfect, but the chances anytime soon of use getting native ports of Starcraft or Diablo are slim to none. I dont want MS on my box, and this is a way to get arounf that. Plus Transgaming is trying to get more companies to go native (via winex's developers pak). If I have a choice I buy Linux, otherwise as for Blizzard's titles I will only choose Windoze since they dont believe in Linux.

Fucked up circle I say

Oh one thing I forgot, they arent gonna go apeshit gerring HL:Counterstrike to work 100% since there is a Linux ver comming out shortly. Half Life One works beautiful, not CS. I havent tried CS yet (although I do own it).

Simply put, Transgaming isnt going to wast effort on something someone else is doing. I felt like that may not be well known here.
