sorry NO Wine only works on x86 processors...not the cell processor/power PC!

Besides if you want FFXI on the PS3(60 gig and 20 gig) you just install the POL viewer from FFXI(original), CoP, or TAOU and use the Vana'diel Collection 2008....at least that's the way it'll work unless Sony releases a firmware update that will allow that to find the HDD!(stupid sony!)

Re: FFXI in Wine.

Also, even if you used something that could run on the PPC (Like Darwine, which I don't know if it works on PS3, and I'm not sure if it's anywhere near maintained), the PS3 locks out it's graphics card when it's running Linux, so you can't use it for 3D games.

If you want to play FFXI, under your circumstances you'd probably be best off buying a computer. Computers are very cheap.

Off-Topic-ness inside for Feba

"Base-Z?" Is that the same thing as Base 26, or maybe 36? And, what would be the point of thinking in it?

Re: FFXI in Wine.

It's Base-36. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_36

and honestly I just put it up because I was bored and can't think of anything better right now.

Not unless they finally sold an EU PS2 edition...I hate Sony that way...

The 80 gig uses the same software emulation as the EU version there and I heard that it(out 80 gig edition) locks up on the original installs....

Re: FFXI in Wine.

So, has anyone been trying to see if FFXI will work with WINE?

Re: FFXI in Wine.

Been trying but having no luck. The farthest we've been able to go is through POL and go to the point of launching the game. Then it goes into the endless loop in the terminal and nothing happens (black screen).

I'm still rather new to Linux so I don't understand what a lot of the things mean but still trying anyways ^^

Re: FFXI in Wine.

Wine 0.9.50 was just released today. Hopefully we can get some good results for FFXI.

Other than the necro posting, there is already a topic on this:

Re: FFXI in Wine.

I will work on this. I am not much of a programmer, but I love FFXI and Kubuntu. I will post my progress.

Re: FFXI in Wine.

As reported in the thread Ameroth linked to three months ago, there really isn't much work to do. It works. There's a bit of lag now and then that's easily fixed with a quick key press. If that's not good enough, there's a patch even for that (see www.wineffxi.org | You no longer have to be tied to Windows in the forums). And if that's not good enough either, use google and you'll find .debs for already-patched versions.
