I have never hear of that, but there's a lot of software out there!


Cedega is a branch from Wine with the goal of playing windows games in Linux. It has made some decent progress. It is a subscription based user community. I've found it useful for other applications as well. If you like many of the windows based games, especially 3d or 3rd person games it might be worth checking out. It's $5 (USD) a month but if you stop the subscription you can still use the versions you have.

And Yes this is still A2 oriented as you can run Applewin emulator in Wine as well.

One drawback though, I can't access my CFFA card properly. The system
recognizes the media but not the partition on it. Trying several
different access points with the WINE configuration ends up with a disk
error or 'ram disk not supported'.

That's a big annoyance. Hopefully I'll be getting a CFFA in the nearish
future so I'll be able to have a stab at it.

Very nice addition to your working system. I'm using mine for the main drive on the GS and relegating the Focus HD for extra backup. It is a bit quicker as well.
