Ubuntu :: .iso Games Not Working?
May 1, 2011
A 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.

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..

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]

My 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).

I 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.

I 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'm running linux on an old iMac G3 power pc. I've just loaded a couple of games for my daughter but the music is staticky and the cursor flickers and goes invisible. Is there anyway to increase virtual memory or something that will make these game work??
I know the hardware is old but one of the few(only thing) things it did well with the old OSX system was play games, so I know its not the hardware.

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.

The mouse settings seem to be like this when I'm playing:

only certain games are doing this, I haven't seen any other kind of flash have problems
Everything works for a while, then after a few minutes there start to be flickers of boxes, some of them colored, some black
they are only on the screen for about one minute, and only in the frame of the game

I like playing games on Ubuntu, but it's such a pain in the neck when I have to click something with my mouse pointed at the bottom of the screen. The game's graphics flash, as the dock appears.Is there a way I can disable Docky during full-screen games?

i recently decided to try and run a couple of games through wine, however trying to install two of them through wine, after putting in the second cd in the installer, the system will not recognise/mount the cd at all in the filesystem. it will instantly recognise the cd after i quit the installer for both of the games, so i guess that running the wine setup is interfering with ubuntu's ability to read or mount a cd. since it has happened on two separate occasions and has worked on windows, there must be something happening on my system that is preventing it. so my question is has anybody else experienced this or think that they know what might be causing the problems?

I really don't get typing commands; I wish most things you could just kill "Download" then "Install" then "OK" like windows, but whatever. Anyway, I heard that Ubuntu has free open source games, especially RTS's and I was stoked. It said I had to download something called SpringLobby. I thought THAT was the game, but I downloaded it and nothing happened. Apparently, I need it to download games. So anyway, all I want to is download and play the games on this site [URL], especially Balanced and Complete Annihilation, but everytime I click on "Download" I get this error.
Quote:
/tmp/JkVuiO8V.bin.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator. Is there anything I can do to install and play these games quick?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and all of a sudden the games disappeared from the Applications menu. I use Mahjongg and FreeCell to unwind and basically to waste time.
Anyone have an idea how I might recover them?

We have some games that was installed with my win xp. Trying to switch over to ubuntu and did a fresh install which wiped everything and setup ubuntu. I have some sound on boot up, but was curious if our other games will work. I was able to get my train simulator installed but no sound. Here are my system specs: emachine desktop T3504, 3.20ghz, 533mhz fsb, 512kb L2 cache, 100gb seagate hard drive 2gb ram, Nvidia ge force 8400 gs 512mb ram. My sound was factory installed as a realtek HD audio. realtek 10/100 ethernet factory installed also. As far as boot up and connecting to the internet I am very pleased. I'm not a programmer but can install cards such as pci, ram. Got a bigger hard drive to put in but been having problems with pc trying to recognize it.

I have experienced it on pretty much every linux installation I have tried (the ubuntu variants, fedora, opensuse and others). I am a keen shmup player (although not that great of one I will admit), and in almost all of them the controls under linux are unplayable. The game seems to think that I have the up and left arrows constantly pressed.
This happens in native games (Torus Trooper, being the first one I discovered it on), games that I run in WINE, and games through MAME. So far the only shmups that I have been able to get working properly have been the Touhou series (which I get working by selecting the "no directinput" checkbox), and ones running in some emulators.
