I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. Could you explain please?

Cedega is not free. *.tgz is a Slackware installation file. You want the *.rpm version. I think you can get the CVS code free, but it'll be a bit harder to set up. There's no GUI. You can pay $5 for 3 months if you want the full version.
It's a bit old, but this guide should work.

im using the guide right now and it seems good so far but how do i fix this error?

hi, I'm using Mandrake 10.1 right now and i want to play my windows games on it so i found this Cedega thing. How do i install it? The filename is called cedega_4.4.1-1.i386.tgz. I found the file online but I have no idea what site it was, otherwise I'd show you guys. I have been on windows for a long time so i also forgot how you become the administrator type thing in the terminal. If i can get this and my games to work, I will love you guys forever (i'm not gay) and I will never use windows for my own personal use again.

whats CVS? Whats point2play? how do i do i go about using this free WineX thing?
-
Heres an interesting thing i found. you have to pay and suscribe to get cedega but i found this thing on their website where i think you can get it for free. you think you guys can clear this up for me? check out the following pages
cedega 4.4 main info and stuff
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The only one of those links that lead to a free download is the last. And thats not Cedega but WineX, I was under the impression WineX was the predecessor to Cedega but i'm not certain. You wont get any suport from Trans Gaming if you use WineX, or access to Point 2 Play (which seems like the main reason to subscribe).
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
WineX is the predecessor of Cedega. I've read about it so I'm pretty sure. Should i try this free download? anything to make my games work.

nevermind i figured out how to setup the games. if only the setup process would work. i always get a few errors. i guess you cant really work games with regular wine. everyone keeps saying cedgea but are there any free alternatives out there?
i know this doesnt belong here but i was just wondering about another problem i've been having with the kopete instant messaging program. if i try to connect to my screen name it says it has to dissconnect because i have exceeded the rate limit. then it says to try connecting in 10 minutes so i wait and then i get the same error. whats up here.

I had no idea that it was possible to play Windows games on Linux, so I guess that you can get Windows apps to play on Linux i.e Winamp, Trillian etc... But what about driver updates for graphics cards or sound cards etc...
When I tried Knoppix some hardware doesnt work on my PC and if I use Kubuntu I get the same problem but with something else, I used the Live CDs anyway if things work on Linux that worked on Windows I going to switch over for sure.
P.S. Whats that site which helps you choose which Linux Distro is best for you?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
ok.....so about that little tutorial i was asking about
-
Wine is often pretty much hit or miss, especially when it comes to games. Give wine a try but you may have better luck with cedega (I believe they provide some sort of support). There is also the loki installer (I dont have a link, google should provide) that makes it alittle easier to install a game. They have specific installers for each game so check for your game. As stated your best bet is native games ie: doom3, ut2k4, neverwinter nights, and i'm sure there are others.
Oh and to answer your question
wine /path/to/executable
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
path to executable of what? if you guys wouldnt mind, could you explain the whole process to me of how to install and run a game? if its not to much to ask
-
i installed a Wine package that came with the mandrake 10.1 distro. now how do i use it?
-
ya now that i have the internet running i've installed firefox and transferred my whole music collection. those are only 2 of 3 things i need on my computer. the 3rd is games. i know theres cedega and stuff but i was wondering if there are any free programs out there that would allow me to play my windows games.
-
HOOOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im writing this from inside of linux.... do you know why? I finally got this stupid card to work. i couldve never done it without you guys though. thanks a bunch.
p.s. i'll probably have other problems as i go deeper into the world of linux so this isnt a good bye
-
when i click the connection icon in the system tray it says to setup the connection in the mandrake control center or sumthin like that. how do i get there? sounds like some kind of control panel. i think i need to configure it there.
-
i already did modprobe ndiswrapper. that was one of the things i did before i asked what else was wrong. remember, im using mandrake 10.1 now. i think in ubuntu, there was a file called etc/network/interfaces and you had to edit the interfaces file to connect. is there something like that in mandrake or anything else i need to do? probably the only reason i keep trying to deal with linux is because i really need an alternative to windoze.i'd get a mac but it costs a lot and theres absolutely no way to play my windows games on it. which is a huge disadvantage. where as in linux i've seen a few different programs that will allow you to do that.
-
thanks tic toc. i did that and then added the drivers and now it finally says
bcmwl5 hardware present,fuzzy
i dont know about the fuzzy part but hardware present is good to see. still doesnt work though. i type "iwconfig" and it still says no wireless extensions. what gives?
-
ya so i ditched ubuntu and went for mandrake 10.1. it seemed like a good idea at the time but its no better. i went to the ndiswraper website and it said they got the wmp11 to work on mandrake 10.1 with ndiswrapper 0.9 and the bcmwl5 driver. i have all this so now im trying to get it to work. i went into the package manager and installed ndiswrapper 0.9. it said it installed successfuly but when i go into terminal and type ndiswrapper -i and then the path to the driver. then it says ndiswrapper isnt a file or directory or something like that. whats up with it now?
p.s. and when i type sudo it asks for my password. but heres the weird part. i type in my password and then it comes up with the words "broken pipe". i just dont get these things. thanks
-
lets see if this works. im not sure how you open the files but i did attatch them.
-
ok i install the kernel sources and stuff like that and then i went back to the ndiswrapper install. now i get errors like commands cant be found and some files cant be found and i'm just confused all over again. i would paste the actual errors but i couldnt get the word docs from my floppy to work here on windows.
is this stuff going to get easier any time soon?
-
once again....another problem.
i removed the old version of ndiswrapper from synaptic and downloaded the new version. the extraction and other stuff went smoothly and then when i got to installation there was an error about the kernel sources. i'm guessing the error was caused by the first step.....
You need a recent kernel at least 2.6.6 or 2.4.26 with source. Under Red Hat or Mandrake, the sources can be installed using the package kernel-source<kernel-version>.rpm. Make sure there is a link to the kernel source from the modules directory. /lib/modules/VERSION/build should be a link to the kernel source, where VERSION is the version of the kernel you are running. If there is no link, you'll get an error at the make install step(i guess thats happened to me). To create a link, assuming the kernel sources are present, use the commandln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build
Make sure you have started compiling the kernel sources, so needed header files are present. Some vendors ship ndiswrapper in their distributions. Either use it or make sure you remove it before installing ndiswrapper by yourself. Make sure you have the Wireless Tools installed. Again, there is a package that comes along with Red Hat and Mandrake distributions. If you are using Debian you can install the wireless-tools package from the mirror. [[1] (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/wireless-tools)]
when i go into /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386 i click on build and it says the link is broken because /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-5-386 doesnt exist. im wondering where the kernel sources are so i can create a link to them in /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386.
another small thing i noticed was that i couldnt do some stuff because it said i wasnt the owner. who would that be? im the only user on the whole machine. im guessing that was why i couldnt edit anything in /etc/network/interfaces
a quick response would be nice. i would like to get this done by tonight. thanks
-
wow i never thought of trying that driver. im uing windows xp so when i saw that it was for 2000 i just thought forget it. but i guess it wouldnt really matter. you guys have been helping me a lot and i thank you. if this still doesnt work i'll let you know
