Tanabi Posted December 2, 2001 Report Posted December 2, 2001 Hey there!Out of curiosity, has anyone tried to run BCM on Linux using WINE? And if so, did it actually work?.... And don't worry, not asking for a Linux version of BCM or WINE support! ;-) Steve Conley

Then again, my Linux box has a pretty odd hardware set up (crappy ram and not much of it and a p3-500mhz with a voodoo5 - there are any number of reasons it wouldn't have worked ). If you do get it working, though, say something. I'd be interested in knowing whether or not it's worth swapping some better hardware in there. I'd love to see BCM running under Linux.
Tanabi Posted December 2, 2001 Author Report Posted December 2, 2001 If BCM is as 100%-computer-utilizing as SC says, then I'd imagine it would be quite a test of WINE's functionality ;-)I actually haven't got a WINE-capable Linux machine right yet. I've been contemplating going all-Linux, though, since XP annoys me. :-) So hense why I'm wondering if my favorite games (...which of course includes BCM...) will work.Half-life works like a dream, and there's actually a Linux-native version of the Wolfenstein client. That just leaves BCM ... :-DAnyway ... if anyone else has had success, please post!Steve

If I do I'll install WINE and try BCM out. Maybe with some good hardware it'll actually work.
Tanabi Posted December 2, 2001 Author Report Posted December 2, 2001 Well that would be a very good reason for it to not work :-DOh well ... maybe someday! :-)
