like the title says I am interested in just getting rid of windows on my machine all together and want to install some old games that I still play often like:
command and conquer
alice
city of heros / villians
never winter nights
postal 2
doom series
warcraft "not that ghey wow" lol
was wondering what was the best / easiest way to install each through terminal.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with a intel core i3 and ati radeon HD 5650 with the Intel HD switchable graphics.I had some problems with the ATI drivers ''ccc''-fglrx in the beginning.And boot problems with black screen, and black screen at GRUB every time i updated.But it seems to work now i guess i can play Ubuntu games like Alien arena So i decided to try installing games with WINE l Warcraft 3 l Oblivion l etc But any time i run a game with WINE, my laptop screen blacks out and freezes .

Code:
armyops
Cheat protection disabled
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
is there a trick to getting openal devices created? I installed all the openal packages I could find:
Code:
rpm -q openal
openal-0.0.9-0.17.20060204cvs.fc11.i586
[code]....
Some do. Most don't. (For example FoF launches gives a black screen and freezes Fedora hard-reset needed) I tried a heap of games from the repos. Most of them freeze I wouldn't know where to start to solve the problem.. Also most N64 Emulators don't work so no games or anything is REALLY boring...
I got the games working. but their running pretty slow (In certain points, Strangely when displaying messages it goes slow when it disappears it goes at full speed) But fact is... Is there something I could do to get the most out of my graphics card? I'm gonna try ending some processes right now... But there has to be something else I can do... I asked on IRC the best I got was "Buy a better Graphics Card"

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhile installing the fedora desktop I had unchecked the Games and Entertainment section but I can still see the same Games options available in the menu.
I tried checking the same in the Add/Remove Programs but I was not able to get the option for uninstalling the same.
Games which are present are: AisleRiot Solitaire, lagno, Mines and Sudoku. I would like to delete the games options available.
I have in the past few months managed to get several people to switch to Linux just on the merits of its educational programs and games alone. Many people who are interested in educational programs for their children do not know where to find them for windows, and even when they do find them, they cost money, and might be worth nothing. So, i started looking into this on Linux, and did only minimal research on the available programs and games that are educational. I wound up already building 3 new computers that use Fedora, and getting several other people who already have a computer to switch to Fedora, just by making a video on how to use most of the educational programs that are available. This made it easier for those people to learn how to use the programs, especially for those that are not that intuitive, and it also showed them just what was available. [URL]
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy children use the Webkinz web site for fun and games. The site works with other LINUX OS (Ubuntu) , but I can not get it working with Fedora 12 or 13, 64 bit. I have installed flash from the [URL] Fedora wiki and flash works (I have tried both 32 and 64 bit versions). The webkinz site loads, but none of the buttons or games work (Try using the log in button, a new window should open asking for user name and password).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got fedora 13 today and put it on a slightly older computer to mess around with it, and two things I realized.
1. I installed Flash player through a program called easyLiving, but when i play flash games online like on armorgames, everything will play fine, but sound will play about 2 seconds late with actions.
2. I can't play .wmv files from my MP3 player, I found some codes online and installed them, but now it just looks like I have 3 different audio players in mozilla and I'm not sure which kind to enable, and I still can't play .wmv movies. (I actually believe that problem 1 is unrelated, because I noticed it before I started downloading different audio players.)
I have an R4 for my ds,i was wondering if it was possible to get nes roms to play on it. The only tutorials i was able to find only seemed to work on windoze.How can i achieve this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just made the switch from windows xp and i am very glad i did. One problem though, I cant get steam games to run right. I have steam installed on an external hard drive and can start it up with wine but whenever i try to run a game, the "starting (game name here)" screen comes up and then disappears and the game doesn't open. I've tried several different tutorials on how to run steam but all they do is tell how to install it.I'm running ubuntu 9.10 x64 if that helps at all.

View 4 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine gave me a few .iso games that will work just from the computer...not using a cd drive. I figured out how to do it in windows, it was pretty easy, but in ubuntu its not as easy. I got some tips on how to mount...and after some experimenting i got it to work. So i installed Morrowind thru Wine. And it starts the opening screen just fine (where you can pick "Play" "Options" etc.) But when i click play it gives me an error that it cant find a cd drive on my computer...because i use a netbook. why this is happening since i have it mounted. Also i am trying to use PlayOnLinux, since ive heard it is good at auto fixing problems that youd have to manually fix thru Wine, and id like to be able to run Morrowind thru that if possible.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI switched to Linux but I was, and still am a gamer, and I have been trying to get some of my favorites to run on Linux as well as find Linux native games. While this hasn't been hard, I have run into a sort of Brick wall. I'll get games to start, but there will be no sound at all. The game runs fine though. When I try to close the game, it crashes/freezes.
This has puzzled me because some games that display this bug now did not previously, and at first this only occurred on one game. Now it occurs on all games. I've checked around, found a few similar bugs, but the closest people seem to get to fixing it is "just uninstall pulseaudio and use something else". It only happens in games, music and other sound works fine.
As for specs, I must say I'm fairly ignorant of some things, but getting better, here is what I do know.
Mint 8
Nvidia graphics card (can't recall what model)
Gnome Desktop

I already posted a topic about this but i got wrongly interpreted as someone gave me a link to a topic to restore your audio fully, which isn't necessairy, as I AM able to play music through rythmbox, on dvd's, on ........ but not on games.
I have a conexant Hi-Def audio on a HP laptop here, and when i typed in the code 'aplay -l' in the terminal, i got this:
[CODE]jakob@jakob-laptop:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[Code]....
As you can see my conexantaudio driver is listed, but it does not seem to work with games.. I have 9.10 and in 9.04 it did work..
Graphics are fine, but the audio for my 3d games (trigger, TORCS, tuxcart) work for about a minute, and then start making really annoying crackly sounds, and then cuts out over all. Running Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic koala, dual booting with vista. Dedicated 30gigs to Linux. Installed with wubi. Works fine on vista.
