Cedega is a fork of wine with Direct X support. It is distributed under two licenses;

  • One, the official build, which you must sign up for $5/month for a minimum of 3 months, and you will be given access to cedega releases for the duration of your membership.
  • Two, the unofficial CVS version, which is free, but has worse support for games, due to commercial parts being stripped for Distribution.

This Article will detail installing the official build of Cedega. For the CVS version, see CVSCedega.

[edit] Installing Cedega

Installing Cedega is fairly simple;

Extract the Cedega tar.gz file into the / folder. (Note that you maybe can't uninstall it automatically then).

To run Cedega, you will also need pygtk:

pacman -S pygtk

Run cedega, and when it asks for the engine file, point it to the engine you got with cedega,a *.cpkg file.

Enjoy!

[edit] Troubleshooting

If you run cedega from the command line, and it quits, complaining about locales, edit /etc/locale.gen:

nano /etc/locale.gen

And remove the # before your locale; The format is Language_Country.Standard.

Next, run 'locale-gen'.

Now your locales should be fixed!
