    Tux Might work on Fedora?

    Did somebody here test it on Fedora 8 64-bits? If not, I'll be the first one here to emulate dolphin on it. I'll see if I encounter issues or lags.

    I just finished installing Fedora 8 x86_64 with a max install. I'm updating devs and reps right now...then an NTFS support...MP3 plugin... I should try it in an hour or a day... depending on what I plan to do today. I may get a higher FPS because I don't have Windows! (I dual-boot though)

    I think you need Windows to run Dolphin unless you mean running it in Wine.

    If you can get it running in Wine, I'd imagine the end result wouldn't be too good and overall more slow, bugs and glitches than natively running it in Windows.

    Let us know how it works.

    Hmm... for now it's not too good. It says it need two fonts. I can't modify any path for those fonts. I would have to modify the source but at least, it ways "booting" but without image. The other problem is about plugins. Not one of the three are detected. I might have to check it out too. I didn't install any nVidia drivers right now. So for now, it looks impossible but for now, i'll just try things. Yes, I use wine to emulate it and you would be amazed about my FPS(if I get it done). Mabye not.. mabye I'll get a decent one... or a better one. Counter-Strike 1.6 is fully playable on a 500 Mhz with 256 megs of RAM. I never had that FPS on windows.

    EDIT:

    If I'm a lucky guy, I may be able to download source files when they'll be released!

    If you're trying to run the current beta of Dolphin on Fedora, I don't think Wine can currently run 64-bit (Windows) applications, even if Wine has been compiled for a 64-bit system. Or are you talking about the older 32-bit versions of Dolphin?

    No, the newest one (64-bit).

    I don't think you'll have much luck using Wine then. According to Wine's site, 64-bit applications aren't supported yet. (See Myth #8 on this page.)

    I may wait for the version 1 release...

    Well looks like I can go in-game but it freezes before menu:

    I've recently fixed most of Dolphin to compile under Linux. Haven't ported the plugins yet though so it doesn't do much

    As usual I give no release dates. I really don't have much time or energy to work on Dolphin these days... The current goal, which we are slooowly moving towards, is to get it back to a releasable state on Win and Lin, and probably open source it at that point. I want the code to be in a good state before doing that though, to reduce the resulting chaos

    No one can seem to finish a GC emulator. After they put years and years of hard work and just start to see promise of games working they just give up and walk away. It's a shame.

    Maybe we will have better luck with the gekko team.
