i would think it might. well atleast for him.. but i think what that post was trying to say was telling him where to put the files.. from the real windows directory

I read on the Cedega website Halo doesn't work and my guess it needs better DirectX 9 support. The game runs slow even under my Winblows Partition using the DirectX 8.1 shaders. Other Microsoft labeled games such as Freelancer don't work under Cedega either

could it be that Micr$oft uses M$ signatures to install prgrams? and linux doesn't recognize them?

"M$ signatures"?

Norin311 · 09-22-2004, 11:47 AM

M$ Signatures you know the Micro$oft uses signature certificates to install programs. does wine identify and recognize them?

Oh. I dunno, I'm not that well versed in winex

Well.. Im not so sure about halo, but i have got the microsoft flight sime to work.. In fact i have 2000 on my machine right now. (currently running mandrake 10.1) it is smoother and faster than ever. did have it on 98SE, but that is a whole diff story about smoother and faster..

I've tried to get Halo working with, Wine, WineX, cedega, CrossOver, installed nativaly on Linux and Installed on Windows but mounted on Linux and what ever I do I can not get it working. I got a little bit closer of getting it working when Halo CE was released , but still no joy.

go to your home folder on your desktop, and put/.wine EX Home/User/.Wine and that will be all your windows based files...

Hi dragon_fire04, could you elaborate, as I am not sure I understand what you are recommending here?

Many Thanks

if you are useing mandrake go to your home on the desktop and at the top you should see File:/Home/User well you need to add .wine to that.. it should then look kinda like this
File:/Home/User/.wine that will be all your windows based files on wine.. not sure about wineX..
hope i helped you.. good luck.

Hi dragon_fire04

Thank you for your explanation, but my problem is not wine or winex as I have been using Wine, WineX, cedega, CrossOver for a long time now I actully run many games under those emulators, my problem is that I can not get Halo working under Linux. :-(

Anyway I am sure sooner or later I'll figure it out.

King Regards and thank you for your help.

So I guess, the answer to " Does Halo work on Linux? " is NO
