| TransGaming's WineX 2.0: Get out those DirectX 8 games! [NewsForge] |
May 22, 2002
DeAnn LeBlanc reviews TransGaming Technologies' WineX 2.0 by 'playing games.' LeBlanc writes . . .
" . . . this article isn't actually about the games at all. WineX 2.0 is meant to allow us Linux folk to play certain Windows games under Linux.

After all, part of WineX 2.0 is improved support to make sure the copy protection mechanisms work properly . . . "
" . . . WineX 2.0 won't play the latest and greatest, but maybe like me, you'll soon find yourself getting back into DirectX 8 games you haven't looked at in a while . . . "
