How many of u use Cedega as an emulator for your games and how many use Wine only and a gaming emulator ?

Plus which games u play on Wine , any from the latest releases ?

I'm a Cedega user, never could get wine working very well for games

so which games do u play on Cedega and how well is the performance as compared to when played in windows ?
is it the same or a little laggy ?

Performance is fine gamespeed wise, plus I play in a window which uses more resources. Recent installs are SW KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) which plays great apart from grafix issues on my comp and other peoples too, Splinter Cell which simply refuses to work at all Diablo II, perfect and UFO:Aftermath perfect. not used windows for any of these games except Diablo and frankly I see no difference. Then again I am on the following Rig:

AMD2600XP
1GB 333 Mhz Ram
5200FX Nvidia card with Dual Monitors

running 'Driva 2005 so it should be able to cope with that! Also heard many positive reviews of more power hungry games like Doom3 but as these "reviews" come from Transgaming themselves, I would take them with a pinch of salt!

have u tried games like Half-Life2 or FarCry or maybe LOMAC ?

Nope, I'm afraid that my limited funds prevents me from having these anyone who feels like sending them to me, I'll be happy to let you know how they work

(mikejac69) what are the chances that they will run on linux ? i mean have anyone ever told u that they ran successfuly on their linux box ?

Not me personally, but I am the only Linux user I know in my circle of friends!

check out the Transgaming games database, it is community driven so I should hope it is independent!

how much did u had to pay initially and then monthly for it ?

sorry .. didnt wanna check the site !!!

15$ and then 5$ per month (forst payment is for three months) but they have just changed the billing for new members so I'm afraid you will have to check it out ;-)

I know Half-Life 2 works w/ Cedega because it came out in a Linux news magazine as being fixed to work like a week or two after the game came out.

HL2 works fine except when I subscribed to use Cedega it occasionally stopped working after Steam updates. HL2 is officially supported by Transgaming so if it breaks it should end up getting fixed again.

I took some screenshots of HL2 in Linux - very playable (nice smooth framerates) but when I tried it on Windows the graphics did seem to look a bit nicer (particulalry water effects) - I think this was because in Cedega I was using DX8 rather than DX9 (which I believe is being supported / looked into with Cedega - I'm not currently a subscriber so I can't comment on improvements right now).
