Integrating Wine to work in xbmc

[ccdavis77]

Hello...
done a lot of searching but can't find a good source to tell me how to do this...want to play windows-PC based games in in xbmc on a htpc running linux. Have wine installed... Just not sure where to go from here...thanks for any help!

What version of Ubuntu is installed on your HTPC and what windows game are you trying to play?

[mastablasta]

wine setup.exe

or

wine install.exe

should get you started then to launch

wine gamename.exe

where gamename is the game file used to launch the game.

Wine has probably come on leaps and bounds since I last used it but you could also look at installing Steam or CrossOver as a way of playing games on that machine. I use a mix of both of the above and have never had any problems. I use Steam for most games and am using CrossOver for older ones. While CrossOver isn't free, I have found that with the games I have played it has been smooth, fast and stable.
