Let's play Final Fantasy VII- with Linux?
d33eniz:
And here's my next question :)
I want to install FF7 on my Linux laptop- I want to change my OS completely and Linux Ubuntu 9.10 is so fucking awesome, so I'm no longer working with Windows!
So, I'm working for 3 months now with Linux Ubuntu and I want to install and run FF7 on it, so I can kick Windows from my laptop :D
And here I come:
How should I install it? I have Wine v1.1.35 installed. And- how can I add Aali's Custom Driver registry-key to the Wine-registry? And does FiceMusic work with it?
Need some tips :D
Thank ya,
- Deniz

I don't know if it'll run now that we have aali's driver patch, but FF VII on it's own, doesn't run on WINE

I know that it'll work:

Yes, you'll need Aali's driver. But since that works on OpenGL and not DirectX, WINE is only needed for executing the game (WINE doesn't and never will support any DirectX features).
The biggest issue I see is the fmvs playing. It's likely that it wants to use DirectShow to play those. I don't use Aali's driver so I don't know if that's not an issue.
Aali:
Err, I don't think a single thing was correct in that post.
Technically you don't even need my driver to make the game work in WINE, that just makes it easier for you.
WINE supports MANY DirectX features, among them Direct3D and DirectShow.
And that brings us to the last point, my driver completely replaces the movie player with one that only needs DirectSound to work, it never touches DirectShow. (And DirectSound is of course supported by WINE)
Now to answer some of the original questions; WINE has it's own regedit program, functionally equivalent to the windows version, simply run that on the .reg file to import it. FF7Music works fine as long as you enable the WINE-specific plugin in the config.
