BCM on Linux

This ought to be interesting.

I am just about to attempt to configure a Linux machine to run BCM. I'm looking around in one of my local haunts, (i.e. software store), and noticed Mandrake 8.1 Gaming System. Well, I've got an extra system just lying around (PI 233 Mhz), I'm just going to have to try to merge my two biggest challenges in life: Linux and BCM (OK so it's not real life, but close enough). And just for grins and giggles, I got the Standard edition instead of the Gaming one. hehehe I love tortureing myself.

Now, the question is, can I do it? Has anyone else done it? Do I even know what a windows emulator does? (no) Will BCM even run on a PI system? (oops...)

OK, so I'll have to upgrade or use one of my other systems, but I would really like to know if anyone else has ever tried useing Linux for playing games (come on, I know some of you have had to) and any ideas you might have on accomplishing this. Right now, I am going to try WINE and/or the emulator from Transgaming, but first I've got to figure out how to unpack a Tarball....

hehehe Tell me about it. But if nothing else, I will end up learning a great deal about something of which I knew nothing.

There is not one shred of evidence to support that life is serious.

I think that you have to port the DirectX 8.1 API yourself, but don't worry, it's a project that will take only a year or two.

And by then there might be powerful enough processor to run it.
