Halo for Linux?


Just wondering: would it be physically possible to port Halo for PC into Linux? Even with Direct X and all that stuff? Cause that'd be cool! I'm sure a whole bunch of other people are looking for the same thing.

I don't think it's _impossible_ .. It would mean lots of works for those who would want to do it, though..

Yeah, like a year. And then wouldn't you have to convert all the sounds and graphics? You'd have to rewrite the code of the game!

You'd need access to the source of Halo, which ain't gonna happen.

Wait until Cedega supports it, or buy an Xbox

Couldn't you use Win32 DASM?
