You're going to have to give us more information if you want assistance.

What distro are you using?

What version of Wine?

How did you install it?

Try:
$ wine notepad
what does that do?

Visual Boy Advance, BoycottAdvance, and Virtual GameBoy Advance all have native-compiled Linux versions. Why are you trying to use WINE for this purpose?

Why try and emulate an emulator if it is not needed, as Sitwon pointed out? Even though some programs running better under WINE than they do on windows nothing can beat something that feels native to the OS you are running on.

Im allso trying to run, trackmania
PostPosted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 1:53 pm


It seems Trackmania has different version of it, and they all range from "Garbage" (you should be able to guess what that means) to "Gold"

I suggest that you look here, http://appdb.winehq.org/search_results.php?cx=013271970634691685804:bc-56dvxydi&cof=FORID:11&q=trackmania&sa=Search#969, and find the one you are trying to get to play and see if it even works with wine.
