Dear Hackers,
I've spent a good portion of this weekend trying to get reported games to run under Transgaming's WineX 2.1 . This is on my home computer which runs 7.1. I have no problem planning Loki games like UT, Descent3, etc, but all of my installs fail. My hardware is a custom 1Ghz Tbird with 512MB of RAM, GeForce 2 MX 400, 30GB HD, and DFI motherboard. I'm running 2.4.16-64GB-SMP(I know I don't need SMP on a uniprocessor) on SuSE 7.1 Professional. The game I want to get going is called Sacrifice. It is one of my favorites and I just purchased a copy. This game has a 4/5 rating from the support forums off transgaming's website. I've tired to install Quicktime(latest version), M$ Golf (from 1993), Mechwarrior 4 demo. No luck on any of them. I've got some e-mail into them, but haven't heard back from them yet. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I've tired the two previous versions of WineX 2.0 & 1.0, but no luck. Turning on debugging for the product is not practical(too many messages and too much of a performance hit).

Hence why I cancelled my supscription to transgaming. I would however suggest getting the lastest (or second lastest - aka more stable) cvs from the WineHQ links for the OpenGL patch. I found it to be much better than the Transgaming setup. The only thing that I preferred in the Transgaming version was that it automatically displays in fullscreen. The generic Wine with the OpenGL patch will display almost full screen, meaning the it plays in full size of the screen but with a windowed frame. I'm sure if I tweaked it some more that one might be able to figure out how to get the true Full Screen to display. Give the OpenGL patch a try in the default Wine install from SuSE. HTH, Good luck.
