New Transgaming WineX Release

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gimme-games-dammit dept.

Thunderbird writes "Transgaming released a new version of WineX. Winex allows you to run x86 windows games and programs on x86 Linux. It includes allmost full directx support (up to 7 including direct3d). " I'm still skeptical of their business model, but I subscribed anyway in the hopes that The Sims and its expansion packs will work soon. They look legit, although I only own 2 windows program (The Sims, Diablo 2, and their expansion packs) so I don't have much to test it on.

    Did someone else noticed that transgamin has licensed macrovision safedisc copy protection ?

    At least linux programmers will be able to protect their work from piracy and stop the widespread copying of cd containing GPL software.

    That's a big hope for the hole FSF foundation which will be able to maintain its value and retribute its shareholders.
