Flimp Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Linux , always wanted to play with Linux . I did look it up , but it looked complicated . Someone had chucked the z800 out !!!! , didnt run at first , took the ram out , not easy with that much , and found that one ram had blown , works like a charm now . Boredly emptied the garage and turned my bedroom (she not happy ) into batmans den . I found 5 ps2's , 3 xbox 360 , 2 ps3's , 5 wiis , and an i5 , i3 , and an ancient couple of dual cores , and a projector . Sometimes when im drunk enough i figure i could well make a time machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you keep having to do a DB scan on start up ? its becuz i messed up the .desktop file if ya just do wine MFMEv19.0.exe u will get the correct file and no need to scan but i used playonlinux just to show ...also must not have nvida drivers installed or ul get this as above i will tinker with settings again am almost sure i did have this working with nvidia drivers as i have a lot of windows games here also that i can play on linux but if not just gotta uninstall to play MFME and windows games ill have to install nvidia but means no playing MFME till i work that out..

slasher Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 No nvidia card or drivers here so very odd. Might try using playonlinux. I had better experience with crossover office which is the commercial wine branch before but my license is that old it probably won't work anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Got it running on Linux using Lutris. Just updating then I'll try running a game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Ignore the bits after the mega streak. I tried to shake the window about "in excitement" and it screwed up the recording. The actual game play is much better but with the screen recorder hogging some resources, it's not captured it that well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie52 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 happy days that you got it working ....can you also confirm if using nvidia drivers or not...am gonna redo my system here with a fresh install of deepin and then fire my att tool and get the other desktops in then ill install MFME again and do a video as a 1st setup on new system... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don't think I'm using nvidia drivers. Will check but I doubt a Lenovo x240 has anything nvidia lol... I'm running Linux mint if that helps. It runs MUCH smoother when I'm not recording the screen. Might try something else to record, I think the one I'm using at the moment is called Kazam or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie52 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 ya can try simple screen recorder...and no that lenovo wont have nvidia ..i have a lenovo g60 ..no nvidia either worked 1st time wen i did it..but ill do this new system here ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonesfan Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Does anyone remember the HP Kayak series???? These were a huge workstation that used the short lived 'rambus' memory. They had a digital display on the front and only used SCSI drives too. Usually came with a 36 or 72Gb drive. Am pretty sure they ran later big cache Pentium III series with Xeon as an option. I did run a very early version of MFME on there during the mid 2000's. Needless to say it flied along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
