Enjoy!

This is just a small taste of it but you can see full functionality and screamin framerates. Its a touch slower due to xvidcap pulling in some of my resources but pretty close to regular performance.

can it be done with wine?

Yes. Just takes alot of tweaking on your part, but there are reports that it does work after ALOT of effort on your part.

check the wine site, you might have better luck with cedega though.

nice video davemc, you seem to be the gamer around here, maybe you should talk to lxnay and start a game division for sabayon development. just a random thought i got.

btw i made my own linux video a little while ago of my highly customized silver desktop

I posted a "How to" on how to get Oblivion up and running with wine on the Off Topic Section. I post alot of "How to's" on these forums. The fact is that for windows based games its hit and miss most of the time and involves a great deal of googling and forum crashing. I would be happy to continue doing this and will now post my gaming stuff here. Sabayon always comes with the latest and greatest wine version and all the proprietary fonts and probably the best openGL integration of any distro on the streets today so thats not an issue. Cedega and CVS are both proprietary so those you would have to get on your own, although there is an ebuild for Cedega 6 you can use after you download the tarball from Transgaming. Wine has made huge strides over the last 6 months and Cedega now supports pixel and vertex shader 2.0, so basicly, there no longer is any game on the market today that will not run in Linux.

Ive seen a few wine toys like xwine and winetools and even played with them a bit on my Ubuntu server but honestly, its just easier using the plane jane wine than screwing around with that other stuff.. $wine /media/cdrom/caesar3setup.exe ... $wine "C:\Program Files\SIERRA\Caesar3\c3.exe"

Come on now, how hard is that?
