Unflappable Drayk Alex Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I'm experimenting a bit with Linux right now... Will Spiderweb's games run on Wine (a Windows emulatior for Linux)? I could try it myself, of course, but I could save myself the trouble if someone else has already tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Dragyn Bob Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 E3 has been ported to Linux, don't know if the others will work on Wine. No reason they shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Djur Revolutions Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Exile I, II, III, and BoE all run excellently in Wine. In fact, E3 for Windows runs better in Wine than E3 for Linux runs natively. Avvy 1 and 2 run fine, if a bit slowly, in Wine. They run a bit faster in Transgaming's WineX, if you want to bother. I haven't tried A3, but I'm sure it'd work fine. I haven't tested Geneforge. I'd be again surprised if it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila demon Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 i run gentoo linux on an amd athlon 1.0ghz. with a current build of wine you should get the games to install and play fine. i am running geneforge and avernum 3 just fine. wine-x is really just a couple tweaks to installers and some rudimentary directx support which really isn't applicable to games from spiderweb. and wine is an "application compatibility layer," not an emulator. emulators are for hardware.
