Hello. This thread is to help anyone having problems with using EPSXE psx emulator in WINE. EPSXE can work in WINE, only if you install directx in WINE. WINE alone does not have directx installed with it but EPSXE requires directx to function. You would need to install directx using any game which has "Install DirectX" or something similar. The redist packages for directx found online

This is not a fault or complaint, just a query for some information. 1. To play windows games in Wine, do I need to load directx, or is it handled by wine as a default? 2. I'm having problems in some games using the NVIDIA drivers (GF2 7186). For example 'Legion Arena' http://www.slitherine.com/games/legion_arena seems to get further with the open source 'nv' drivers as

Well I'm able to get Steam running fine, however I've tried to play the following: Team Fortress 2 Left 4 Dead Counter-strike Source Portal When I try to launch Source based games the screen goes black and then it resizes the resolution to something like 1024x600. I am able to get the Left 4 Dead intro movie to play with this script: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.steam wine

all of my games that i try to install all ask me ti install directx, so i am wondering do i need to set some of the dx .dll's to native in winecfg or just ignore the directx promptings. also how do you change a game to render with openGL instead of directx? -- "Black holes are where god divided by Zero." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do openglide 3d games work with wine, as they don't depend on directx?

Hi, Does anyone how i can get this installed? I get errormessages if i install them, dcom98.exe just quits when he's installing, internet explorer 6 stops after registering ole objects and directx 9.0c gives an error: An internal error occured. Please refer to directx.log in your Windows Folder to determine problem (directx 8.1 gives an error: could not locate the directory) this is my

Ever since the RCs and the release of 1.2, I have been having trouble with directx based games not working properly. They did work under wine-1.1.3x. The problems are: video very slow and jerky, about 1 fps, objects appearing as "tears" on the screen, missing some textures, and screen going blank during certain effects. System: 64-bit kubuntu-10.04, dual NVIDIA 9800GT w/ 512 mb, plenty

I used to run windows, and I had some trouble getting a decent version of direct x for some games. Now I'm trying to run them under wine. I heard that it doesn't use direct x, but I'm wondering if it replaces it with open gl. When I try to run said games, I get this error message: err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely

> The Xbox is based on commodity PC hardware and runs a stripped-down version of the Windows 2000 kernel using APIs based largely on DirectX 8.1. however, it also incorporates changes optimized for gaming and multimedia uses... Is there any chance that wine can be made to run xbox games? There is alot of hardware optimisation so perhaps this is impossible, unless your running wine on an xbox,

Hi, I am running wine 0.9.58 and having problems running Counter Strike: Source, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. I think this is caused by the direct x layer in wine. My system runs opengl programs fine using the ATI driver (Radeon 3850). Is there any way I can test directx functionality without having to download a game? Dxdiag.exe is not included in wine. Best regards, Chris

Hi, I'm trying to get the Battlefield 1942 demo to work. The game runs, and I can start a game. but all the graphics are messed up.

Hello, I am currently attempting to run some windows games through wine, specifically Fable - The Lost Chapters and The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind and I am experiencing problems with my cursor drifting during game play. When I start the game (as soon as the menu screen) the mouse is initially stable, but after I move the mouse it will begin to drift vertically down at a constant speed

Can anyone tell me or point me to information telling me what is the correct way to use directx 10 or 11 for games in Wine, what do I need to install to do so, and do I then need to use a special tag (like the -opengl tag) when starting a game? I have been googling and having a hard time making sense of the information I have been finding. Some places reference a 'wine dx10' and some

it seems wow is moving towards GLL for the Macs and could be dropping the normal OpenGL. how is this going to effect running WOW with wine ? right now running wow under directX is painful and so slow on my system thats it just not a option.

Hi, I found these remakes of old Sierra games at http://www.tierraentertainment.com/ They run on an windows adventure game engine AGS found at http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk Due to the engine author's reclutance for helping linux people, the only solutions seems to be using wine to get these ancient-but-excellent games running. So far they have made King's Quest 1 VGA and

That's what I'm going to do, after purging all the current nvidia stuff frommy system. The second thing I'm going to do is download, build and install the latest decent version of Wine. Thanks for all your advice. It's been really helpful. --------- One more question. What with OpenGL support getting dropped from WoW, I was wondering if it was worth trying to use DirectX under

Hi, For some (most?) games the screen edges are used for scrolling/turning, etc. Running them in Wine is no problem in full-screen, but in Windowed mode the mouse just moves off, and if the mouse has been 'jerked' fast enough, it is left within the window some distance away from the screen edge. Meaning the window doesn't scroll/your character doesn't turn. Is there any way for

Hello all, Many games include a DirectX bundle in their installation setup, therefore the WINE DirectX implementation becomes overriden when we test games. However, not only this prevent the testing of WINE's DirectX implementation, the bundle they install is usually outdated. I was wondering therefore if preventing the DirectX install is possible, and if yes, would it be useful for WINE

A query regarding WINE support for older hardware: Does Wine support the NVIDIA 7186 drivers, or are they too old and unsupported now?
