I was quite impressed that yesterday I installed "katahane" without any problems in wine, and also applied english patch :D
Before that, I thought, well, if it won't work, then I'll just use the vbox. In fact there is no need ;D

Screenshot of katahane running in wine 1.3.10 @ x86, openbox (click to view source):



although it seems the game user interface far from being perfect imo,...

wine - learn to break things the wise way

Posted 07-23-2011 at 12:16 AM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

Two computers, one old acoustic system, no digital input: what to do?

Posted 05-09-2011 at 03:07 PM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

The short answer could have been "utilize analog and digital inputs" but my case here is quite old system having only one input.
I didn't really look into this question until I had to, today.
Some days before, when I was experiencing troubles with sound in Steam I installed pulseaudio and during search for it noticed "network" word in description. So I thought maybe I can set it up so I will send sound from second computer to first(over gigabit home LAN), which...
