Download Virtual PC for windows and install windows on the emulated PC, then you install virtual PC on that one and install windows on that one too, then you install virtual PC etc. I wonder how far I can go :P

Lexx,

Are you running CrossOver Office, Wine or Vmware for linux? I tried getting NC to work on CrossOver Office and it crapped out on me...

I doubt they do, and if they did they'd probably struggle to render a box at above one frame a second. Just buy the console, you stingy bugger.

nc installs fine but doesnt run under linux :)

as for the game its zelda
running via wine via mandrake 8 oO

check out winex perhaps your best chance of getting nc running under linux as its specifically aimed at running windows games under linux as opposed to normal wine which is aimed more at generic usage.

In that case there should be some kind of VGA converter you can buy for the PS2, it should let you just link a PS2 directly to a monitor. I have one for my GameCube, though I rarely use it, and can't remember scratch about it (got it like a year and a half ago).

I dunno, running wine nlsp.exe doesnt crash out, but it doesnt bring up the launcher either, whilst runing NeocronLauncher.exe crashes out :-/

There have been many attempts to get NC to run under Linux.... none of which has succeeded afaik. Thinking about getting into Linux pretty soon (I bought a "Linux for Dummies" book and everything :p) and it would be cool to be able to play NC2 on it..... *hint hint KK*

The closest someone got was to the login screen but they couldn't type their login details or anything. Don't remember how they did it since this was about a year ago or so.

hinch
05-08-04, 11:53
i got as far as logging in but when login details were submitted it just hung the terminal.

so im assuming its sloppy net code as it hangs when trying to do network stuff :)

hint fix the net code

@Mumblyfish look at the main char there :) and look at the old link chars from the first zelda then do you see the similarities? if your really struggling go look at the gba versions of zelda oO

He's only joking. He's just saying that Captain Lardo "OH SHIT MY ARSE TAKES UP THE WHOLE SCREEN" McTubbington looks a bit like Link. Which he doesn't. At all.

uh hinch, if u look at that u posted, look at the head vs body ratio, then look at the one in lexx pic, then compare the feet.

it is NOT the same one.

client.exe will run under winex3.1+ but you will need to patch in your VMwared windows and then copy the files over to your linux installation.

Can't get the patcher to work under winex, only client.exe, did that about over a year ago, before I dumped linux from my machine. It's the best solution for web based server applications, for desktop and entertainment applications, and even development (also of the applications that will later run on the linux server), windows is unbeatable.

hinch
05-08-04, 16:05
suppose if your dual booting you can mount your windows partition and tell wine(x) that it can find the windows libs etc in /mnt/windowz/winnt/ or whever you mounted it

Or i could have gotten those mixed up? :D

typical, i spend a day out and miss all the fun :p

Ok, questions, gah, umm, Client.exe brings up "use the Neocron Launcher shortcut" so cant use direct wine Client.exe which is a shame

The hardware monitor is Super Karumba which is pretty nifty

http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ it does lots of stuff, but i cant get the email part to work.

they are mixed up. if u look at the menus and everything u clearly see that the one with hearts representing hp is zelda.

Like I said, you can start Neocron via client.exe with WineX but it has to be fully patched, we did it just a year ago, it's a bit annoying to have to patch in a windows vm but oh well.

I dunno why someone would want to play games on Linux anyway, to each their own. ;)

When i first modded my xbox i wondered if I could get it to run on it, mwahahahhaa. So i got a xbox linux distro, got wine running, then tried to run nc from within wine.... AND IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! thought the resolution is shitty........















then i woke up, and realized i dont even know jack shit about linux :(
And the fact the xbox has a 733mhz processor and 64 megs of ram doesnt help much either :lol: Can you imagine trying to emulate within emulation that much on those specs? omg! The friggin thing would explode! Or at least smoke a little.....

I guess ill just have to settle with my sega master system, nes, snes, mame, fba, and n64 emulators on my xbox :D
Maybe xbox next (or wtf its gonna be called) will be able to handle nc, hehe
