Games under linux

Hello , thanks for all for your help concerning the previous post of port forwarding, it's already working and i'm using AnalogX as a port mapper and it's working very well. Here's another question please what about using linux to run a Cyber cafe as game networks , what's related to the license and mossanafat, do they accept linux with its license ?, and i'm also asking about some games if they are supported or not under linux, like Fifa 2005/2006 , counter strike , War of the Worldcraft, and others.... ? please give me some information regarding this subject. Thanks in advance.

Nice

That is great , but it would be nice to replay at the portforward thread telling us what happend.....

AnalogX is FOSS..?

about the games i don`t advice you to do so for alot of reason

first some people use cedega and point2play to run windows games on linux ( which is not free )

the performance using cedega is not so good for

new games need Dx 9 or later and you now ....

search for cedega and test it and c if you like it run windows for games

NO Lic

No Lic. on cyber for linux they have nothing to do with you.

simply use windows....

Emulation wwn`t be like the original thing.

small thing here if the original o/s ( Windows) crashes and hangs what do you think about the emulated API !!!!!!

some games run smothly but all the time you will need the latest one

Buy Lic. for win 98 and run games on it

i don`t play games but i had reports from my friends says that win 98 with latest DX is the best

Bye

Don't get fooled

You said:

According to M$ sales policy; prices for OS's with similar functions but different versions is the same on initial purchase (i.e. win 98 is legally not less expensive than the latest M$ client OS of same grade), and again they make you pay when trying to buy the latest version and they call this license version upgrade, so it's wrong to use win 98 based on this.

Those who sell these OS cd's in the open market don't realize that what they're doing is illegal as well because there licenses are supposed to be for special purposes that invalidates the license on purpose invalidation.

In brief, the confusion to the end user in licensing issue is disasterous and intended for obvious reasons.

And Mohammed, why are you intimidating the guy, let him try the GNU/Linux implementation in a cyber-cafe, it has success potential, and maybe he'll come back with a good case. Complain, do nothing, get your free Patagonian identity.

I didnot

I advice him to run win98 not for its price but i had reviews from my frinds teling me that win98 is better for games that xp and i saw a case my self ..

the illegaly sold Lic. you talk about is winxp Lic. which come with GOV. PC righ..??

there is no win98 Lic like those Lic. win98 lic. is too old to be shipped with GOV. PC...

what about using linux to run a Cyber cafe as game networks ...

that is his question and i replied him with logical replay

If you have case that you can run all games with all its featurs with linux plz help me doing it .....

wine is not helpfull at all.. on such case you need cedega

cedega cost 55$ for 12 and he should renew if he need updates .. etc

i gave him what i know about that.

guys i don`t know why i feel that you think i am against FOSS ..

linux is not the ultimate solution for all pc proplems ...

if it isn't free sw make it open source.

no one *think* that you are against foss , You said it , no one have to think after that.

yes linux kernel is not ultimate solution for all pc problems (do you mean it is ultimate solution for servers not for pcs) but if you want to run some software which is mainly written to be working on M$ and nothing else ,would it be GNU/Linux limitation if we failed to make it run under GnomeDesktop or on my pc ?

you made the problem ,you put the obstacles then you say hey linux is not everything guess what go and install DOS 3 or 5 and write your own batch files,it will be stable than XP cause i don't have to learn bash.

you should define "pc problems" term ,so every one can judged is it a limitation or .....

for good linux games u

for good linux games u have to give look at quake, doom, return to castle and so, they have free linux versions but u'll need the data from windows cd's

try googling for that, u may fined another games

about the licence, be sure to use GPL'd software (or a like license), then u have to make mosannafat ppl understand what is GPL as i doubt that they'll accept it easilly


Mohammed Ahmed's picture

That is so weird

will i play game that have linux ver.

what is he finished those games what if he don`t like them , should he play them as it only avalible for linux ....!!!!!!!

if i wanna do business then i should uyse the propper tools i don`t like that soul of its only linux no poeple when it require windows we should run it Don`t Be Closed Mind

the man talkking about Cyber Cafe will you tell people those are the only games we have ( not logic at all )

el mosnfat looks for windows and populat S/W only if they found any thing but windows the will leave you

i don't care about his

i don't care about his business or any thing else, he is asking for linux games not for making business at his cafe, and I told him what I know, then he have to decide what he needs not me to do that


Mohammed Ahmed's picture

You should

his question says he need it for cyber cafe .

we should answer the technical question to fill the case needs.

if new bie ask me for dis. i won`t advice him gentoo :)

if some one ask me he wanna buy new pc i won`t say get fire edge from sun coz its the best.

ps : Please calm down its not fight

Really

So you say if the answer is windows then we should say linux . Coz windows is 7aram ( ya 7aram ) let agree on something Do you say that linux is best solution for every proplem ..?

or you say that we are not supposed to say windows here..???

!

nop i didn't mean that we say GNU/Linux badal windows. IMO windows is useless in all matters even in games PS2 Kicks any OS at games. so when he askes about games under GNU/Linux we will tell him the ways to run it .. he try it, liked it or didn't like it or he find another solution it's his own problems and his own work to do. but telling him to buy Windows i don't think thats the right place to say this words.

peace

well I am disappointed

the guy here is asking a question on Egyptian GNU Linux Users Group ,he is asking us something about cyber-cafe,will you answer him as if you work on cyber-cafe????

would you think he can not ask any one who is running cyber-cafe?

did he post his question to make down grade from XP to 97?

he is asking his question here to have some FOSS knowledge , not for how to run cyber cafe and what is the OS he should run ?

we are not here for business consulting ,we are here to implement it thorough advocating to FOSS where it cover a zillion of problems noone can not count .

DarKnesS_WolF's picture

u got me wrong.

you got me totally wrong .. actually my answer in last post wasn't full .. what i ment is he asked a games under GNU/Linux question so he should get an answer in this topic and we should not advice with another solutions not FOSS. that what i meant in short.

peace

window$ user

man you will not be able to satisfy windows user with a game under linux he will compare your cyber performance for a specific game "using linux " with the next cyber with the same configuration and the same game but using windwos he will find a greate defrent so let linux for more importent things just like open office that is Free and do the same as MS office
