Bastion on Ubuntu

I'm thinking that maybe my nVIDIA drivers are too old, or my Xorg, or I'm missing this dll... or maybe Bastion just hates me.

Help?

Steam's Hardware Survey detects Wine

This is something I found interesting though it's not really much of a surprise with Valve finally giving Linux some respect.

Backported Winetricks

Just decided to check the Winetricks version after reading RPS's article about Gaming on Linux (Nice to hear good feedback from non-Linux users).  It wasn't complicated to backport the precise PPA package.  Just changed the compat to 5, the control file for debhelper and maintainer stuff, and the changelog file.  Nothing much out of the ordinary.  I thought I may have to do something about the .install file but turns out I didn't.

Diablo III on Wine

So the fruit of all the hard work I've done on backporting Wine 1.5.10 has finally been revealed.  Surprisingly, much of Diablo III's installation is problem free once you get the new builds of Wine.  Here it is in all its glory.

More details after the jump!

Wine 1.5.10 Backporting Notes

As I said earlier, I had some major problems getting it to package, but after two days of mucking around I've finally gotten something working.  All that after the jump.

Well that was wild!

Two days of work and finally have Wine 1.5.10 installed on the box.  It's got a few minor issues, but probably things I'll fix when I rebuild this.  I'll post notes on what I did, but the advantages of using this new build script is that I can slip in patches with ease now without having to figure out how to get it running.  I learned many things including the fact that my dpkg is outdated.

Backporting Wine 1.5

Spent quite a few hours on the backporting biz on wine 1.5.  The structure is totally different so there's a raft of changes to how I managed to backport it.  I'll be posting the changes soon for my own references, but there's definitely quite a few things to do here.

It's building right now, but who knows if it gets to the end?

Got Diablo 3: Starter Edition...

So my friends hooked me up with the Starter Edition keys for Diablo 3.  I'll be rolling up my sleeves to backport Wine and see how far I can play this one.  Not expecting a lot and I didn't like Torchlight.
