Windows Games

[neojezza]

I dont know if this is the right topic to put it in, but whatever, i have a game that works on windows98-XP, if i were to put Red Hat Linux 8.0 on my laptop, and install the game meant to run on windows, will it work on Linux?

Wine
WineX

wine YOu can get wine there.  WineX you have to pay for, and that is the one you need to run games that require directX as I understand it.

Before we get to Wine or WineX, what game is it? What are the specs for your laptop? The reason I ask is that Wine and WineX sometimes require faster computers to play todays games. For example a 1ghz computer with 256mb ram can play battlefield 1942 on windows just fine, but on linux, with a somewhat inefficeint emulation layer, it might take a 2ghz with 512mb ram to play the game at decent speed.

Ok who deleted my other post from this thread. It was definately not a troll post. This is silly. Why would anyone delete a non-troll post?

It might have been by accident when the moderator was trying to sweep off all the goatse.cx garbage off the forums.
