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? TIA, Curtis
You could allways try it...... But it's more likely to crash then it gone work.... Could install ACDSee, winamp (no Windows media player format), Winrar and Winzip.... Quicktime4 crashed on me...... The rest I didn't try yet.... Curtis Rey wrote:

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.

I got Half-Life to install but it only runs in 640x480 and the sound is choppy. I will attempt to tweak it and see if I can get it to preform better. I would really like it to use the nVidia drivers and have direct access to the sound card. Well, its a start. Cheers, Curtis On Wednesday 01 August 2001 12:30, Curtis Rey wrote:

Did you try Wine or WineX? Since WineX is partially released under the Alladin Public License, not all of their game-optimized enhancements are included in WineHQ's Wine (My understanding is, if they get 20,000 paying customers [to their "voting service"] they will release the code back to WineHQ). -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

I used the regular wine. I haven't installed winex, but have been toying with the idea. Just been fairly busy of late and am dubious about any possible conflicts that my arise with 2 different version of wine. Have you or do you know anyone that is running WineX? Cheers.
