But there is a Linux version of Unreal Tournament you know? Wink

Yannick

Yeah, I also ran Unreal under winex just to compare, and I wasn't overwhelmed at the response under winex compared to the gentoo Unreal demo but it did work... mind you, not everything I have tried running under wine has worked...

I found Madtracker listed on the Wine Compatibility List too after you mentioned it and I'm frustrated that there seems to be no way to contact the person who made that "it works perfectly" entry to see what kind of system they were using, etc... Oh well, I'm hoping that somebody else will be able to prove me wrong because I'd like to be able to use mt2 under ALSA and JACK because of all the extra live mixdown possibilties...

Ok, I just tried MT 2.3 under Mandrake 9.1 with WINE. And it worked! Well, actually I had to fix a tiny bug in the drums pattern window redrawing function to make it "perfectly" work. This must be the bug that prevented you from loading MT2 files (drums patterns are completely disabled in the other formats). So I could run MT2 without any problem, load a MT2 and play it. There are a few quirks but it works fine (CPU usage is higher than in native Windows though). For instance, I have to restore-maximize it on startup to have a proper working toolbar. The install setup works fine too, it only has problems when there are spaces in the install directory. It tested that on my old PC (P3 450 MHz). It could play XM files quite well. For recent MT2 files, forget it... The latency was pretty good. I could almost set 4 buffers of 5ms. 4x10ms was very stable for my tests. I still have to install Gentoo Linux on my main PC (dual AMD 2400+) where the emulation should give much better results! Yannick

Hey yannick, what about releasing those fixes you did to madtracker as a "pre-linux" version for all the rest of us? That would be really neat. BB

Yannick

a distribution of gentoo as well as a custom debian system... but....

it works! yay!! i used VMWare instead of wine instead of switching distributions. it's not your code at all Yannick it was more likely my exploration of bleeding-edge sourceforge projects - specifically - filesystems. whoops. i totally apoligize for hassling you about it at all. now, i have to wait patiently to get paid so i can register. it is more because you attempted to pursue the problem this far that i want to give you money, you see, now that it works under linux i can get a workable rendering of a song mixed live from the shareware version. being able to specify higher-resolution waveform rendering with nice sine wave interpolation would be nice, so, yeah, money from me, soon!

so, there you have it. madtracker, solid as a rock, under unix. i had no trouble at all with non-choppy output even with lots of reverb after installing the native windows driver for my soundcard (SB PCI-128) and playing with the buffers a little. latency? yes. but i can live with that for the moment, because nnow I can work on my mt2s again, under unix (doing everything else seamlessly while i'm at it, making an alternative to bill gates rev!) and i *like it

it would still be really really really cool to not have to emulate anything for madtracker under unix, but, oh well... maybe... one day... Very Happy

So it works better than the Sk@le native port? I couldn't test on my �ber PC yet, only on the sucky one. Will try to test ASAP! Actually there was really a bug which would tickle WINE and not Windows. Because the thing wouldn't work on my Mandrake 9.1 as well. (Now it does.) Yannick

Thinking about it, does MT2 run under vmware (another windows emulator for Linux/Unix)?

Yannick, how about KNOPPIX the life cd for Linux? I havent tried it out with the actual madtracker version yet . But anyways its nice that it runs under Linux. Gets more potential users BMX
