Linux Live Gaming Project

Posted by michael on from the better-than-freecell dept.

Fabio writes "The mission of LLGP (Linux Live Game Project) is show to Wintendo users that also Linux can be used to game. And now a new version is out. Features: KDE 3.3 with Plastik theme and Nuvola icons, kernel 2.6.10, Nvidia drivers, TORCS, Wesnoth, SuperTux, TuxRacer and much more! It's based on Knoppix, but contains deep changes in the startup scripts. Now the hardware probing is completely based on hotplug and udev; kudzu was removed. Challenge your friends on LLGP, and convert them to Linux!"

  3. Wrong genres? by tepples · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, the first-person shooters get ported to GNU/Linux rather quickly, but what about things other than FPS? Yes, other game genres exist, even though someone who took his/her nick from the name of the hero of a popular FPS may consider such an idea blasphemous.

    "HL2 runs just as well through cedega"
    LOL! Your definition of "just as well" is apparently 20 minute level loads, with a solid 5 fps (my GF4Ti4200 / 1.6Ghz / 512 DDR ram runs it at a playable 25 fps on windows). Read this review of halflife 2 under cedega. I'll post a quick excerpt that summarizes it for you:
    The graphic looked pretty raw and 'edgy', gameplay wasn't smooth, the sound skipped every now and then. I opened the options again and reduced averything to 'low' or 'medium' were available. After applying the changes (which worked this time), it felt a little smoother but reducing graphic options didn't really help the raw look. After playing a while, I experienced a sudden drop in fps, I activated the fps-display to check and indeed, I've been to 10-20 frames the moment any NPC or another moving object came to view. I restarted HL and I'm able to reproduce this behaviour every time: Runs ok in the beginning, even if the framerate is far from beeing stable, at 30-70fps and after a while the framerate drops to the above mentioned 10-20 fps.
    "The latest games are being added to cedega support"
    Cedega is not the solution, stop hailing it as one.
    "The latest games are...being ported to Linux."
    By "latest games" you must mean (some) Unreal Engine 2 derivatives and Doom3? Certainly you realize that these two companies are among the few exceptions to the rule?

    First of all, Super-Tux is an alpha game - their site screenshots still show the tiling grids. Not very impressive.

    What, do you mean this?

    That's the freakin' built-in tile editor! SHEESH!

  7. Re:Wrong Games by Mold · · Score: 3, Informative

    HL2 works fine under Cedega with no configuration, and Doom 3 has native Linux support.

    So while the poster mentioned the wrong games, HL2 and Doom3 work just fine. And HL2 and Doom3 ARE "*so* equivalent to HL2 and Doom 3", interestingly enough.
