Project64 1.6 runs on Linux.

[GarulfoLinux]

Hello everybody,

I wanted to try Project64 1.6 running with Wine and first, Project64 crashed. In fact, it was Jabo's Direct3D plugin that doesn't works. I downloaded glN64 plugin (for windows, so *.dll) and i tried again and there, my rom worked.

I didn't try with another graphic plugin but if you want to play with Project64, download and select glN64 plugin in Project64.

There, three screenshots showing Project64 running on Linux :

Enjoy!

you can't claim project64 works on linux unless all the parts of project64 are working in it.

if jabo's D3d8 isn't then you can hardly claim it does as the jabo plugins are the defaults.

Wine has some issues with some Dx8 functions. still.

that doesn't impede using of Project64 on Linux. A plugin is a plugin, project64 is the core of program, without jabo's plugin you can play with another graphic plugin so, i can say that Project64 works on Linux(with glN64 plugin for example).

Your note is a little stupid..

[squall_leonhart]

by saying it doesn't impede it, your very wrong, it does, gln64 isn't the greatest of plugins for one, and doesn't have nearly the same built in opcode support as the Jabo Dx8 plugin, not to mention that
it doesn't render nearly the same amount of effects as jabo's. your best off using Glide Wonder Plus if it works, but even that does have some issues still, though all plugins do really.

theres also the fact that your not actually running it on linux, your running it on a self contained emulation of certain aspects of windows, running within linux, in a bastardly way it can be compared to DosBox, in terms of the general idea of it.

your topic name is misleading, you would've have been better off putting Project64 1.6 runs on Wine.

hm, you barter ..

I specify in my topics that Project64 works with Wine. Then, everbody don't use the same graphic plugin (in this case, jabo's plugin).

theres also the possibility its a video card issue. did you try the 1.5.2 plugin?

Wine Is Not an Emulator. DoxBox is an x86 emulator with a DOS environment included in it. Wine is an implementation of the Windows API that was written for *nix (though it has also been ported to other platforms).

This difference is readily apparent, as programs run with Wine do not incur the performance penalties that typically come with running code through emulation. In fact, some programs even perform better with Wine than with the actual Windows API. Simply put, Wine is a compatibility layer and is a replacement for the Windows API, not an emulator that runs parts of Windows on Linux.

It's true that PJ64 won't run on 'naked' Linux, without Wine. But it also wouldn't work on Windows without the Windows API. The only difference is that Windows comes with the Windows API, while Wine is an optional component of Linux. Anyway, just wanted to clarify that. Peace.

Emulation refers to the ability of a computer program or electronic device to imitate another program or device. Many printers, for example, are designed to emulate Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers because so much software is written for HP printers. By emulating an HP printer, a printer can work with any software written for a real HP printer. Emulation "tricks" the software into believing that a device is really some other device.

therefore Wine is classified as an Emulator. wine is attempting to imitate windows, its an emulator of sorts.

the developers can say what they like, but its a clear cut emulator, saying otherwise is to defy the definition of emulation itself.

Squall, seriously, shut the fuck up. Every single post you make lets the world realize just how much of a stupid, know-it-all moron squall_leonhart really is. Toasty was entirely correct.

In other words, you're digging (or already have) yourself a very large grave, which I for one am ready for you to rest in.

I could hug you for that post lol Spot on in every regard.
