Cedega on Puppy

#1 Post by legendofthor »

gday
got cedega to work and work well!
on one partition i have puppy 3.01 with fully loaded KDE358_082.sfs and addon-EN_082.sfs.
tgz2pet the cedega core loaded it - all dependencies met (yeah!) ran it - gui ran well but wouldnt let me execute the game .exe
same thing happened with jwm
i've found that the xfce environment is the only WM that allows it to work.
ok so i used wNOP no.2 i think (3.01 puppy) and tgz2pet cedega core
loaded and said that all dependencies were met (bs!)
wouldnt execute
2nd attempt- loaded KDE358_082 onto wNOP - cedega wouldnt execute
3rd attempt - loaded addons-EN_082 on top - cedega executed flawlessly and was able to play my Dark Age of Camelot MMO :)
Then i tried a fresh reload of wNOP and just loaded addons - agan worked flawlessly

Sorry I am not able to give the community a .pet due to the licencing agreement

ok here's the take [i used wNOP-v0.2]
from
http://puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/wNOP/wNOP-v0.2.iso
I did a HD install
loaded addons-EN_082.sfs from:
http://puppyisos.org/isos/2008-01-to-06/Muppy-008.2/
downloaded cedega-small-6.0.tgz and cedega-engine-6.0.4-local-update.i386.cpkg from cedega.com
tgz2pet cedega-small-6.0.tgz
Installed latest vidcard driver (used ATI_driver-8.40.4.pet)
Copied entire Dark Age folder across from windows partition (necessary as Dark Age disc installer is broken on cedega)
Reboot
Ran Transgaming Cedega and followed the prompts and instructions
It only costs about $5USD per month (minimum of three months subscription)

happy gaming
cheers

ps. I dont have any association with Cedega - there are just some necessary Windows games that i MUST! have...
and I love my pup and really really dislike Windows

addendum
I used a full HD install of the .sfs file as per
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 41&t=25087
so i'm not sure how this would go with a regular install

I will test cedega out on other WMs over time so this post will be updated.
Also, going to check if World of Warcraft works on Puppy Cedega
cheers
If interested check out the supported games in Cedega

gday
tested it on teenpup2008 but it didnt work (and if it was going to work on earlier versions of puppy it would have worked on this - great work JB)
NB: all dependencies checked so it must have something to do with some slackware binaries
will check it out on 2.17 but suspect it may only work on 3+ versions of puppy
cheers
