WineX or something
 
is WineX used like wine.. but for gaming?

its not free is it?

where can i download it for free?

Yes , it's game-oriented if there is such a term.

It is freely available by cvs.
Go to:http://www.transgaming.com/license.php?source=1
and you will find directions on how to download it
Packages (rpm, deb, tgz binaries) require a very small fee (about $5 per month).

Of course from cvs you will get source code and you will have to compile it yourself...

http://cvs.transgaming.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/winex/

what the hell do i chose to download?

Everything! (just a joke)

From the page (just below the link you clicked on)

To checkout a new CVS respository:

1. cvs -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot login
2. When prompted for the password enter "cvs"
3. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot co winex

So go to to an empty dir in your pc and ran those commands.
In case you dont have cvs , reach for your install disks/location and install it.
It's definetely there somewhere.

Good Luck.

Damn those icons!
Replace those :p with \:\p (but without the slashes)

or check it out again in the page!

or show your support and pay the $5 a month. Then you get WineX and the front end Point2Play.

Click download, and then pick the rpm you want :)
Or.. if you have Gentoo, just do
emerge wine
And it'll do it all for you :)
Wine is like Winex, in my opinion they are preety much euqal when it comes to games, and wine is much better with applications

iLLuSionZ 11-17-2003 09:21 PM

i need help getting winex though... wine wont play all the games will it?

i couldnt even get wine to run kazaa or excursion from xp :(

gkoutsog 11-18-2003 03:35 AM

There is no where to go ;)

Open a terminal
Type the commands as that you saw on that page. That is
$#] cvs -d \:\pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot login
When prompted for the password enter "cvs"
$#] cvs -z3 -d \:\pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot co winex

You will probably see the files been downloaded to your dir
After that hust follow instructions in readme files ....

iLLuSionZ 11-18-2003 04:19 AM

gkoutsog 11-24-2003 05:06 AM

Don't know man.

but at transgaming.com there is a list of games that are rated on how well they
perform under winex and linux....

I think there is a forum also... Give it a try!
