My friend uses Ubuntu and plays Cortex command a lot on my computer. But he can't get it working on WINE. Is there any fix to get CC working on Linux? |

http://datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 1&start=15 ZedDB discovered that it runs on WINE 0.9.37 onward, with OSS sound. It requires a hefty computer to run under emulation, though. There is a Linux version planned as CC becomes more feature-complete. Your friend can install the newest version of WINE off the official site rather than Ubuntu's repositories. |

I tried running it in WINE on Ubuntu a while ago, didn't work, unfortunately. |

It would be helpful if everyone that try to run it in wine would post their results in the appDB http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=8116 Also as cambiogris pointed out you might need a powerful computer to run it. But as i have no other computer to test i don't know how powerful you need. And like cambiogris wrote: If the Ubuntu's repositories don't have the latest wine version you can get the newest one at http://www.winehq.com |

With an AMD X2 3800+ it takes about 55% of computer resources. Finally got it running in Ubuntu 7.04 with wine 0.9.38, see the other Linux thread here (link above) to see the details. |

Emulation always requires an obscene amount of hardware capability. Just dual boot. If you're using Linux, you should know how to do that. |

Well WINE stands for: Wine Is Not an Emulator. So they don't emulate anything they just reverse engineer what is in windows so you can run it in linux. But as this takes a lot of time and it's not complete and thus it´s not 100% effective or accurate. But i agree with you. If you know that the games you play don't work well in wine dualboot if you want to play them without any problems. |

Plus, if you take a look, some games run fasters under WINE and Cedega that under XP (and, of course, under Vista). |
