cedega

[nehalem]

I swapped my awesome ATI card for my roommate's mediocre Nvidia card, and Deus Ex now works in cedega. At least, works better. I still don't get 60 fps in game unless I'm staring at a wall.

Meh. I'll live. If I can get Steam/CSS/HL2 to work in cedega, I will be quite content with the setup. Unfortunately I can't get Steam to finish updating during the install using the package with HL precached. Has anyone else tried to install and update Steam?

Actually this is surprising to me. I have the 9800 Pro with the ATI drivers installed and Doom3 even performs surprisingly well (No shader stuff so the eye candy is defenitley down a few big notches).

Deus Ex is like forever old. How wierd.

If you add the " --monitor-cdrom-eject" switch when you run the installer, you will be able to eject the cd when a game asks for a new one.

When I do that, I still cannot eject the CDROM, nor can I unmount the drive (even as root).

Thank you all, I've jsut installed cedega and steam to play Half Life Team Fortress Classic, and it works smooth I get 72 fps
I have a Geforce 6800.

My only excuse to sometime boot back to XP was the games, but now, I can play on Ubuntu, great thanks again

I like Cedega a lot, but every distro I run it on has issues w/ not being able to recognize the cd, due to the protection. It REALLY annoys me. I think I'll fire up Diablo 2 once just to see if it works, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work for me before. Either did Warcraft 3. I can't remember if I tried it on an earlier install of Ubuntu or not.

Yeah, --monitor-cdrom-eject doesn't work on Ubuntu because it uses pmount to mount removable media, such as cdroms, automatically. I don't understand the internals, but apparently it isn't compatible with mount/umount

I read in the wine docs that the other way to eject a cd is to send wineserver SIGUSR2, so: "killall -USR2 wineserver" will eject the cd.

Actually I don't think that last statement is actually true. When you use point2play to power cedega, it does the mounting / unmounting just fine and I think that's still actually cedega code. I had to do this when I installed World of Warcraft, which if you follow the tips on the unofficial Transgaming wiki, runs just fine I'm happy to report.
