Look up the cost for producing a modern 3d shooter. It goes up to over 20 million dollars and has something like a TB of content. This is unlikely to happen without a huge desktop share leading to a proportional customer demand or some vendor paying these companies outright to get a good port running. Sorry, there are no easy answers, here. </blockquote></div> yes, it is not possible unless there is a real commercial demand. If there is any other way to make this possible then there would be a revolution in the linux demand ( running these 3d games in wine is trouble-some) i also thought of creating some great emulator, which would make this possible... (like the dos-box, other game emulators) Which would enable people to install these games .exe at ease (unlike the UI in wine) and play it safely Just an idea -- magesh Life is "just tryin out things to see if they work" <a href="http://magesh.geexhq.com/">http://magesh.geexhq.com/</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/mageshcse">http://twitter.com/mageshcse</a>
