Lin545: And the game is...?
Silverhawk170485: I'd also like to know which game it is.
Fortunately, I'm not talking about a given title, since I haven't suffered by system incompatibility by the moment. I just had too ask because there's still a lack of Linux games in the store and, well, money is money. By the way, I'm gonna take a look at these porting solutions if I come to have trouble.
Darvond: A lot of older games won't run though wine because they run though DOS instead. Now as unfun and pedantic as it is to load up a program though DOSbox itself, due to the command line nature of it, I find myself using a frontend like
Dosbox Game Launcher to be a much nicer experience.
I had a problem with Tyrian 2000 thanks to it's Windows DOSBox port. Now I'm playing the game with the Linux native version, but I only have this one MS-DOS title because it's bothering to change the automount file everytime you want to play or, worse, typing it all the way. I'm sure gonna give a look at this frontend.
kbnrylaec: Windows 7~10 have a lot of free and legal versions you can download.
(Microsoft officially provided those specific versions.)
That's a whole new for me and I admit I'm glad to know that. I'll have this checked out as soon as I get my new computer.
JudasIscariot: Undertale and HuniePop also have native Mac & Linux versions so the only reason to ever run them through Wine would be if the native versions, for whatever reason, fail to run properly.
Yeah, I've been unable to play the Linux titles in my library because the installation was requiring a software that I couldn't find in the repository. I managed to find it's source code, of course, but it was easier to run the Windows version of such games than compile a new program without knowing if it would solve the problem.
dtgreene: Or, if there is a difference between versions and you prefer the way the Windows version behaves.
This comes as a good point. Though I've never managed to play a Linux native version of any GOG game, when I took Tyrian to play it in the penguin's DOSBox port, I've lost the Christmas special or something that the original version offered everytime I launched it.
I'm grateful of the replies. Even being the answer a negative, I feel relieved now. Thank you all \o/
