Its $5.00 USD/month for a minimum of 3 months = $15. You could get the non packaged winex for free from here
http://freshmeat.net/projects/winex/...C56%2C909%2C74
read the information and download and compile it.
Good luck |

Thats not the full version. It does not include the DirectX API that is really the main reason to get WineX. I wouldnt waste your time with the CVS version.

I don't think that's true. This is from their website. http://www.transgaming.com
The live CVS Tree for TransGaming's WineX (minus copy protection related code and texture compression, for now) is available through VA Linux's SourceForge website.
I use the CVS tree and I have had some success. I've never had anything "work out of the box" but with a little work I can get most games to work fairly well. All the games I install detect DirectX 8.0. As far as the copy protection it's just as easy to get a hacked .exe as getting it to work in the first place. |
