Links Corner Forum

I apologize, I see now that you mentioned the issues were with the Intel/dgVoodoo setup - my bad!

I didn't 'install' WMP9 using Proton in Linux, per se, I just copied the DLLs from the Links 2003 installation folder in Windows to the installation folder in Linux. If I didn't have the Windows installation, there was a way to work around the crash, according to Grok ... I think it was to install W...

I couldn't get things running with wine - I didn't try the voodoo wrapper thing, but it seemed no what else I tried, it just crashed on startup under the wine prefix. I have almost ZERO knowledge of wine, so I'm sure it was user error in one or many places along that journey! While I could just rebo...

I have now dual booted my computer with Windows 10 Home and Linux Mint (Cinnamon). I gave Winboat a quick trial, not really knowing at all what I was doing and was trying to get another program running, not Links. Anyway, ended up wiping out Winboat even though I'm not sure I'm convinced if Wine is ...

I'm not too tech savvy lately; those days are mostly behind me, I think! However .... I have no idea what game you're running into that error with (a Steam game?), but posing that error message to Duck.ai - the default AI when you search in Firefox, I think - reveals the following (in case you haven...

I never met Art, but enjoyed his courses and even purchased his APCD tutorial, even though I never used it! Sad to hear of his passing.

Yeah, I've had a few minor software issues with MX - probably due to my history with Windows more than anything! When I was looking for a Linux distro to try, I thought I needed 32-bit (that was what every version of Windows that ever was installed on the laptop), and I wanted with with low overhead...

Des, I've followed your notes while trying to adapt them to my MX Linux 23.4 (bookworm) distro. Aside from a few minor differences, the procedure is the same. I had to install a GUI for Wine/Winetricks, since MX linux didn't have one be default. I chose zenity, since it was the first one suggested (...

I also noted that our long-time fellow Linkster Armond was involved too...if you have local talent ya might as well! :thumbup: :thumbup: Hi Armond-it's been a while...the hair isn't growing back the way it used to! :whistle: How about you? :cheers1: I'm not sure that I was really involved that much...

That's great work, Des. I sort of gave up on Links and Linux - partly due to interest and partly due to such old, decrepit hardware (I had to take one laptop apart and heat up/re-flow the graphics chip again else the display wouldn't work at all). I am planning on a new computer soon, so I'll look f...
