The only game I've gotten to run in Cedega 4.01 is Steam. That worked up to a point... then I got the error I've posted in "Games" -> "Cedega and Half-Life".

hi
cedega sure is working very well in FC2. my friends play Condition Zero using it. However for me, it didnt even get installed, following the same procedure. Maybe there is a problem of cedega in SuSE , or pls lemme know how to install it.

My personal experience with Cedega has been, how do you say.. spotty at best. I've tried it on 3 different computers with radically different setups (different motherboards, chipsets, CPUs, video cards, harddrives, and Linux distributions) and only had one game run. That game was Diablo 2, the distro was Redhat 9, and I've never been able to reproduce the results.

Recently I built a new AMD64 system (2 of the previous were AMD Athlons, one was a dual processing Xeon), and miraculously I got a few games to run. Most notable was Morrowind; one of my holy grail games that is the only reason I boot into MS Windows. I'm not at all impressed with the fact that the program seems to only run on certain hardware configurations, and even then not all the games they claim to work do (Star Wars: KOTOR doesn't run, nor does Diablo 2).

This was with a purchased version of Cedega (4.0), and I've also tried older versions (3.x). All in all, I don't feel I was cheated for the $15 I spent, but I don't feel I really got a great deal on it either.

I've got Cedega and WineX running on two machines, my P4 Desktop with an nVidia and Sourblaster 5.1 card, and my Dell C640 laptop with an ATI Radeon 7500 chipset. Runs well on both,... certain things won't run on the laptop because of the video, but other than that, it runs perfectly.

I've got maybe 15 titles working between the two machines...

I wish they focused on making old(er), but good games, to get those to run on Linux. Things like Quest for Glory, Gabriel Knight, Grim Fandango, ... all these (often 2D) excellent games that get no attention anymore in Windows because of the next Half-Life or DoomIII. And Linux *needs* games. Although this month "Support older games" is in the top in the polls (for the 2nd or 3d time already), which means they will work on that.

I don't have transgaming. I'm just interested. I wanna play all these great old games on my SuSe box...

I must agree with andrewd18. In my experience, the prospect is far greater than the reality. I had trouble with Warcraft III, and it's supposed to function perfectly according to the web site.

Just succesfully played Warcraft III on 2 different systems one 64bit and one on an SuSE 9.0 (kernel 2.6.10rc1) config.
Only weird thing is that I needed a nocd crack to get it working. <_<
Other games I didden`t tried so far.

Tested Cedega on 5 different computer NO PROBELM!
Tested many differnt games some work good other minor problems but some of the games need som tweaking before they run, and many games need nocd to work because copy protection doesn't work good on cedega...

Good to know. What's the Cedega version you're using now?
Cheers.

cedega_4.0-1

I've got TFC and Steam working in SuSE 9.1 with Cedega 4.1. I was really pleased at how fast it runs... turns out, when I got it half-installed via 4.0, it was the ATI drivers that screwed up all the images in Steam. nVidia card fixed it.
