Free WineX/Cedega Download?

[thestef]

Well it's cheaper than windows, unless you have them pirated

I dont think so, i use winxp for over 2 years, xp costs € 110 euro thats a 2 year membership of cedega. After 2 years windows is cheaper plus games are working out of the box.

If i had to pay € 100 for cedega i would but not a subscription.

Well, if you don't want to pay Transgaming to get Cedega, you could download Mandriva 2007 it has Cedega built in. But of course it costs 44 EUR to 179 EUR.

not a subscription? So you get cedega, and linux for the same price as windows, thats more interesting.

R U kidding with this?
1) "Cedega is $60/month" --> That's $60/year, not per month
2) "Windows is a $100" --> Yeah, Win95.
Win2K = $200, WinXP = $300, Vista = $400

Yeah, it's arguable if the Cedega price is worth it, but how about u get the prices right and keep things in perspective?

ARGHHHHH!!!

I think you just managed to give us the most useless and rubbish link in the entire history of this forum.

That link leads to version 3.3.1 of Cedega, which is from sometime in 2005. It's 2 years old, while the current release is version 5.2.10 from jan. 18. 2007.

cedega is not subscription based, you only need to do one month to get teh program.

True, I'm quite in a similar situation, but have a debit card, but my parents restricted it only to local use, so I'm also in a similar situation (under-age as well). Your best bet is to ask someone else to buy it for you and you pay them. Subscription is also ridiculously cheap, only $5 per month, and I seriously doubt you'll need more than a month to download the latest version. I know I'm going to either a) try to compile it (I need it for a free game called Space Cowboy, so no crack needed) or b) ask my parents to buy it, I pay them, and everything is done by the book then.

One thing I don't understand from these guys (transgamer) is that they are asking you to pay through credit card for something that lets you play games. Normally underage kids are the ones who play games (not that university guys don't), but don't have credit/debit cards. Come to think of it, usually under-age kids aren't the ones who usually use linux. I guess they need the money for permssions or something.

You make a good point however the way I got around that when I was young was I went out and got a prepaid debit card works just like a regular debit card and you just have to fill it up when you run out of money on it.

Well yeah...But the thing is we DO. I'm 11 and managing my own Ubuntu install, with the occasional prod from my ever so knowledgable dad. I switched to Linux after our gaming computer got a virus(the rest of our computers run ubuntu) and I got a laptop. SO yes, I am also faced with the linux gaming issue....

Get a copy of the local Windows XP system32 folder. Save onto you HD. Replace wine wfiles with real ones. Install games. Presto! Instant gaming....I've gotten games Cedega can't run to run using this meathod.
