| Post subject: | Massive Assault series on Linux/OSX via WineX? |
I'm going to run by this possiblity of distribution over with PR, but some feedback first would be nice. What's the possiblity of the Massive Assault series running on Linux / OSX(darwin)? Though I doubt a straight port is unlikely, what if it was made compatible with such API "emulators" like http://www.transgaming.com's WineX? I don't know much about WineX, but from what i'm aware of, it supports DirectX 8, and runs well, at least, on Mandrake/Debian. Anyone know if WineX supports OSX in some way? I'd also imagine there would be a performance hit from the Windows API emulation (WINE: Wine Is Not an Emulator). So would Massive Assault be possible on WineX? The more platforms it's available on, the more players, the more fun to be had. -Fraggler |

Getting MA to run (well) under Wine is something you need to bring up with the Wine team, rather than the MA team. I think the chances of a direct Linux port are pretty much zero. |
