Elasto Mania with wine?

[Doffe311]

Im pretty new to ubuntu and i've read forums from alot of pages and i've just figured out how do use some of the functions in wine.. and now i wanna play elasto mania..but when i try to start the exe file with wine it says .res is missing(a file in the elmadirectory) and in windows u can just start the elma.exe file and thegame runs... So i dont get it why it wont start now.. I read somewhere u need to link some fiels to eachother.. As i said im new to ubuntu so dont laugh at me :P..

I can't help you with Wine, unfortunately. But, incase your software won't run in Wine, you could try it in Cedega, which cost $5 US / month. You can cancel your subscription after a minimum of 3 months I believe. The subscription entitles you to updates. So, if you can run whatever you want on one of the versions of Cedega (that will become clear to you if you investigate further) then you don't need to continue your subscription.

If you are interested I suggest that you download the Cedega_TimeDemo, for free & test it out. It installed really easily for me a week ago, & I could run Guild Wars in it straight away, without any configuration hassles!

All the best!

It's not elastomania but it is soooo close. Close enough to call a linux clone? Try and find out. ;)

edit: I had to install a lot of libs, but you'll find out what they are as you compile. Just install as you go. Eventually it will work.

Ok. I've read about Cedega it seems to be a good program but aint there a good program who is for free? Don't have 5$us to spend on Cedega atm:p.

I play Elastomania with wine, you have to be inside the elastomania's directory before run wine.

I hope it cat be useful.

There is also the free CVScedega, which is not the same as the commercial one, but some have successes with it.

You have to compile it yourself, which I have done, using the following instructions, without any problem:

It sounds like from the previous post that you don't need this for Elastomania, but for future reference. :p
