Okay, so I put in some time on some CXZ (crossover) porting. I went to linux forums. Apparently, all you have to do is tell the programs what extensions of the graphics engine cannot be used, then the game will work around it. Here's a clue:
You have to alter the registry of windows (basically the fake windows kernel) and tell the engine that certain extensions are not useable, so when the game engine loads up, viola! It checks against the registry and runs the game accordingly. Bingo. Clap for me. And for the linux guys who actually figured out which extensions of the engine the VOODOO or OpenGL drivers don't support. I have been applying this to my own wrappers. You can download the registry file needed (Go to this site: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20075&iTestingId=52545, and you can find all the info you need, including a link to the reg file). I will probably post the reg file and a prepared wrapper on Demonoid.com later next week.
Remember, where there is a will, there is a way. Just ask a programmer.
A blog about the many problems we run across with technology, and a few tips on how to be "Zero the Hero" when it counts. Impress the boss, be the go 2 guy\gal, or just spend some time reading so you can solve those pesky tech problems without pulling all your hair out. This is your starting point. Please be prepared to do some research. This blog is only to get you started.
