Sorry, I meant SEIV runs in winex. So far i haven't noticed any glitches, but i'm using a recent cvs Version of winex. Also, i should have searched first to see if this was common knowledge. I was just alittle excited

Default Re: Holy Crap It Runs In Linux!!!

i am wanting to try this once on my linux box (debian sid). is there a good guide (small) around on how to setup games with winex? do you have to install the game again under linux or can you point to an existing parition?
anyway, to use the latter i would have to be carefull because my other os is xp and the ntfs support isn't up to par although it seems to work.

You can do either. But with ntfs write support so experimental, i wouldn't go that way. Just install it in linux. Install is as simple as

mount /mnt/cdrom
winex D:\Setup.exe

After you first install winex, i think you just have to type "winex" and it setups a fake windows directory structure for you. You also have to setup your .winex/config file, which is cake. just edit the example that gets installed.

have fun.
