How Do You Game?

Do you guys dual-boot or use Cedega? I personally find the state of Cedega great and given that 5.0 is coming out in a day, it'll only get better.

WHEN I did have a PC, I dual booted. I just found it easier that way...

Don't they have Cedega for Mac? I though they did.

Not that I know of. Wine doesn't work in PPC Linux. The closest they have right now is Darwine for OS X, which only runs ~15 apps (none of which are games) at last count.

This is for the Mac, but I have never seen any downloads for it.

I don't game in Linux, I keep Windows for that...

I already messed my Linux install up and I am having a heck of a time trying to fix it

Linux takes some time. It took me two months to get the hang of it with the help of my Solaris-guru Dad. However, I've come to love Linux. Can't wait only 1 1/2 hours left until Cedega 5.0!

I play native linux games like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, America's Army, and Bzflag.

How is Cedega? Does it work well?

TSHF · 11-08-2005, 09:37 PM

Cedega works well, but if you are willing to put some effort into slight configuring so you don't have to dual-boot, then it is fully worth ti. You need to be patient. Often, games need to be tweaked, like you can edited executables and dlls and such in Linux so something that has to be done as per release notes or other people's tips. But so far, I haven't needed to dual-boot. I hope I don't have to.
