hmmm I semm to have solved my problem...Transgaming Link

 

 

TransGaming's roots are in Linux, with our flagship product Cedega. Very few games are developed natively for Linux but, with the global proliferation of Linux as a preferred operating system of choice, users are demanding the ability to play games.

 

Cedega allows Windows-based games to run on Linux, out-of-the-box, seamlessly and transparently. With Cedega, TransGaming does not require any access to a game's source code but, rather, runs the Windows executable on Linux. In simplified terms, Cedega loads a game's binary into memory on a Linux system and then dynamically links to code that provides an implementation of the Win32 APIs that the program is using. The APIs that Windows games are mostly built on top of are primarily based on Microsoft's DirectX system. These APIs include facilities for handling 3D graphics (Direct3D), mouse and keyboard input (DirectInput), audio (DirectSound), and so on. TransGaming works to create Linux compatible versions of these APIs that work on top of the Linux equivalents such as OpenGL, X11, and the OSS and ALSA sound APIs. An important attribute of Cedega is the complete support for third party engines and SDKs such as Bink, Lithtech, Miles, Havok, Renderware, etc. Cedega is the culmination of several years of effort on these API and our engineering team's knowledge of DirectX is probably second only to Microsoft's own.

 

Cedega support hundreds of the top Windows games on Linux, including such blockbuster hits as Max Payne 2, GTA Vice City, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield: Vietnam, WarCraft III, Diablo II, Half-Life, just to name a few; MMPORG games such as City of Heroes, Star Wars Galaxies, EverQuest and many many more are also supported. Cedega's success to-date has been based on TransGaming's ability to keep pace with the tremendous number of new games being released regularly and in delivering equivalent game-play experience and performance. For more information on our progress with specific games, you can browse our games database.

 

In addition to Cedega, TransGaming has also developed a product, AclereX, that specifically caters to corporate customers and their business software applications. AclereX allows Windows based applications to run on Linux and is also being used to port custom developed applications to Linux. More information can be obtained at www.aclerex.com.

I was able to download the latest cedga from bearshare... pero hindi yata installtion files ito.... archived file ng I386

copy to folder lang ba to sa linux?

 

The extension of the files you downloaded will tell you which type of Linux it installs to.

 

.RPM -> RedHat, SUSE, Mandrake

.DEB -> Debian, Knoppix (HD installation)

.TGZ -> SlackWare, Slax (upon modification)

 

These are the only types I know of. I'm not too much into Linux yet so please forgive any mistakes and/or omissions that may have been committed. :hypocritesmiley:

if the downloaded file is in .bz2/.gzip/.tar it could be a precompiled binary that you have to extract (bunzip2/gunzip/tar) then execute a .bin or an sh file. sun microsystem pour their java using this method :cool:
