Hello all. Im not a newbie to linux, but until recently I have never used Wine. My computer has no windows partition on it, can I still use Wine? Im trying to get Roller Coaster Tycoon working and I dont have a windows box. Maybe Sim City 2000 too. My distro is Mandrake 8.2, and I did install the wine packages, but Ive dont have a clue where to start and what to do.

Crunchy(Cracked)Butter:
Just pop in your RollerCoaster Tycoon CD and see what happens, wine will automatically run whether it works or not is something else.

lazygamer:
1)Can Wine run DirectX stuff?
2)How can I get alot better at configuring Wine, without actually trying to frustratingly configure it first?

TheQuirk:
I can send you my .wine direcory. Then you'll just need to replace /home/glezhe with /path/to/.wine, install the Wine RPM, and then type in wine file.exe

Centurian:
Wine does not run DirectX. I believe WineX is supposed to run DirectX.

Wine is very easy to use though. Once it is installed you only need to make a hidden directory. IE /home/user_name/.wine

Now run wine windows_program_name.exe.
Now you can run many windows programs in the same way or by double clicking on them in konqueror or what ever file manager you use.
I have never tried WineX so I can't say about it but I would think it would be simular. You would just have to tell it the path to the DirectX files.

The programs will have to (reside in/save to) a vfat partition though for them to work properly.
