The thred about wine made me think of this, but it's OT for that one so I figured I'd make a nice new thread. I used wine a few years ago and was impressed at what it was able to run. I tried to use winex to run Windows video games, though, and was never successful in getting it to work. I'm planning on giving winex a try on my SuSE 10.0 box soon, and I was wondering if anyone has used it and could let me know what I'm in for.

WineX has been renamed to Cedega. I've been using it pretty much since day one. It runs the games i liek just fine... but it doesn't run all games. Cedega as a product (with the Point2Play frontend) install and works fine in SUSE10.0 The best tip I can give is... don't just blindly try installing any old Windows game into it and expect it to work. Do your research first. Read the info at: http://www.transgaming.com/ http://transgaming.org/forum/ http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/ and http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wiki/Main_Page Read up on if the game you want to install will even work, what version of Cedega it works with (some games work better in older versions of Cedega). Read what tweaks are needed to make the game perform well in Cedega. I do this with every game I want to try. Most games work... but some don't (like Civ4). Also... if you have and ATI video card, you're out of luck on a lot of games. Transgaming does try to get the games working on ATI, but there are loads of problems with ATI. nVidia us always supported. Make sure you carefully read the release notes etc on this - for example when Cedega 5.0 was released they included support for Battlefield2, but only on nVidia not ATI. C.
