| 7255 | XU4 | games | 4512 | As the web page wasn't clear... | ...Is this project, like Exult is, just a code-only thing, where you need to get all the data files from the original commercial game? Because I don't have any of the Ultima games and I don't really buy dos/windows games nowadays. | 2002-11-12 22:23:58 | 0 |

| 7258 | Cedega (WineX) | games | -1 | Description misleading | Wine isn't necessarily slow -- remember, it's not an emulator, but a relinker bundled with an alternate implementation of the same functions as in the win32 API. If those functions have better implementations than the Windows versions, they'll be <I>faster</I> than the originals -- and in many cases that's so. | 2002-11-13 04:34:01 | 0 |
| 7259 | Cedega (WineX) | games | 506 | Re: Description misleading | Well, and in many cases there are quite a lot slower and not very much optimized. Wine is pretty nice, but it hasn't reached a state where it is a 100% windows replacement, its probally more like 50%. For a lot of games I still have to boot into windows, since they either don't run at all under Wine or run very slow with lots of errors. That said there are also quite a few games that run pretty well under Wine. After all one has to try and in case it doesn't work, fall back to windows.<br> | 2002-11-13 04:43:31 | 7258 |

"better implementation"? AFAIK you can only make an implementation if there ever _was_ a specification. If you can point as to where we might be able to find the specification for the Windows API... The API is only half the story, it only specifies how a program can use the implementation via function calls and such, it does _not_ give you a full idea of what is supposed to be done to make a proper implementation. And yes, I have read the docs that come with Visual C++ and the KB articles on MSDN. None of them qualify for a good specification. Think OpenGL specification in this context. <br> <br> And while you're at it, can you at provide at least one of those "many cases" where a Windows game runs faster on WineX? And don't give me none of those crappy VB games as examples. | 2002-11-13 04:47:45 | 7258 |
