I have reconfigure wine with a fake windows dir. It has all the essential files in it, although the System32 folder is empty (but the System folder seems to have the essential dll's, etc.. in it). I am wondering if I could do something like "wine /tmp/dx8.0a/setup" (or whatever) to load the directx into the fake windows dir and then do the same for games?
I do not believe normal WINE will work with DirectX, but I hear WineX does. Take a look at http://www.transgaming.com . Apparently what you can do is download a patch which you apply to the WINE source, and that should provide you with the needed capabilities. I'd be interested in knowing how it goes - I wouldn't mind getting my Windows-based copy of SimCity 3k going in Linux... -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
