Rmxp finally on linux!!!

For intels you can use bootcamp, or parralels, but that's just emulating windows on mac.
There's something called Cider that converts the executional to Mac App just like how Wine works. I don't know how to get hold of Cider though I have seen it in use.

Bootcamp is not a parallel or an emulation, it is an easy way to dual boot Intel Macs with a Win32 operating system.

So...
to run RMXP on my Mac OS X Laptop, I would...

 

[Xilef]

Get boot camp which installs PC with your mac on a seperate partition/parralels which is a PC emulator/Try getting hold of CIDER, which converts Win32 Programs to Mac Applications.

Aww.... No one ever told me I had to pay for Bootcamp...

 

[AdamSmith]

You have to pay for bootcamp now? Whew glad I got it when it was free.
Also as Yeyindie pointed out, it's not emulation. It's actually a partioned hard drive, and you install Windows on it as you would a PC.

Parallels allows you to switch between the two, which would be very handy for me since I draw all of my game related stuff in osx, but assemble on windows.
Whereas in bootcamp you have to restart the computer and choose which operating system you wish to boot up in.

Awesome, now I can run RMXP on my Linux machine, which is infinately better than my Windows PC.. but one question before I download it... exactly HOW well does it run on Linux using the WINE emulator...?

Like I said, everything works except you can't listen to BGM/BGS while playing/making the game, but to override that simply test your sounds in a regular media player, and pick the one you want in RMXP. You won't be able to listen to it in-game or anything, but Windows users will. SE/ME works.
Also, the menubar is inaccessible, but the only two things you don't have a keyboard shortcut for are encrypting and opening the game folder.
So other than encrypting and testing BGM/BGS in real time... It works perfect.

What version of linux did you get it to work on?

 

[tensuke]

Ha. I couldn't get it to work under DarWINE in OSX, but this is pretty cool!
And I assume this will work on any Linux distro that runs WINE.

 

[Xilef]

DarWINE? Never heard of that. But CIDER works the best for OSX. Use CIDER.
I can't get this working for linux, so I'm stuck.
