Hi everyone (and particularly those who remember me )
I’m just posting to say that I’m not going to be around here much anymore. I’ve been looking over the forums from time-to-time and have posted occasionally, but I removed Windows completely from my hard disk about a month ago and intend never to use it (or any other Microsoft product) again.
So I was wondering if anyone else has tried running any English bishoujo games (old and new) under various programs such as WINE or WineX (or other means which don’t involve paying money to Microsoft)? I never did finish making my bishoujo gaming website, but I hope to continue it over the christmas holidays, and I am hoping to provide some more reviews and a compatibility listing for running these games under the Linux OS, much like those found for “regular” games at the TransGaming website. In addition, it would help greatly if someone could tell me which games can be made to work under Linux, since I really do not want to buy games that will not work under my Operating System. So far I have managed to get Critical Point running perfectly, but nothing else (Someone mentioned also that Snow Drop can be made to work, but I haven’t managed to get it running yet).
Also, does anyone know if it is worth subscribing to TransGaming’s WineX for playing bishoujo games? I know there are quite a few games that do make use of DirectX but there are quite a lot that only use the generic Windows API’s instead. I was wondering if it was much better than the regular WINE for running bishoujo games?
I never did manage to get more than one ending in Kana Imouto and it would be particularly great to get this game working again.
Cheers,
Martin
