win32 game emulation

[Leonidas]

i read an article a while back in some PC mag talking about some software for linux systems that will emulate win32 architecture and allow games to be played on them that work on any windows system... cedega cedema or something was the name if memory serves correctly... if anyone can remember the name or point me to a similiar proggy thanks alot

cedega, wine, and winex

dont get too excited, they dont work very well usually

Do you have to pay for cedega? I know you have to pay for winex.

I use wine, its not so good. Very slow, resource hungry , anyway i never tried playing games with wine. But for other windows applications, its reaaaly slow.!

you can't play games with wine because it doesn't have a linux "directx equivelent", which winex does. Thats why you have to pay for it because they have to update it when micorosoft updates directx.
