Does anyone know if it will run through WINE or Crossover or something of that nature?

I was unable to get JK to run in my Debian Etch system using the packaged wine. The installer worked fine, the launcher seemed to work, but when I started a game, the display would get all weird and it wouldn't run.

Mine used to work decently through WINE in Ubuntu, but now it just fails (something about a page fault on write access to some hex number).

I've NEVER been able to get JK working on wine, although I know it's been done by others.

I can get the JK GUI working (an improvement in recent builds; before it wouldn't run at all) , but when I try to start the actual game engine, it just crashes. I'm using the latest build from winehq in conjunction with Ubuntu 7.10, (cutting edge all the way around) but still nothing.

I think it only ever ran without 3D Acceleration.

You can run it in VMWare Fusion using a Windows instance, VMWare fusion has directx9 support, so it may work.

JK uses DirectX 5, so the system would need DirectX 5 or 7 support (which have different interfaces than DirectX 8 and above).

Clarification: Although DirectX 8 and above officially include previous DirectX interfaces, what is often meant by "DirectX 9 is supported" is that only the DirectX 9 interfaces are supported (i.e. no backwards compatibility).

Thanks all... So far, I have been unlucky getting it to work with crossover. Oh well. Yeah, blast from the past is right, and I only post when I need something, go figure, ha.
