Grimrock

ya i know its different meanings. But calling wine a emulator is like calling windows a great operating system... Dos box is a example of a emulator because it has to emulate old pc code instruction at the cpu level. The ironic part is With the definitions he gives Direct X itself is a emulator beca...

When users think of emulators, they think of programs like Dosbox or zsnes. These applications run as virtual machines and are slow, having to emulate each processor instruction. Wine does not do any CPU emulation - hence the name "Wine Is Not an Emulator." Some people argue that since Wi...

I preordered Grimrock almost a year ago and I can't play it. Changing laptop is not an option in my case right now:((...

No problem :lol: Just always find it amusing to read about mac and linux limitations.. people posting they so love their macs while in the same post describing how they had to "emulate" this or that on some windows emulator (wine it's called I believe)... I mean, just get a pc... it's che...

Tried to read though everything you were writing holy crap you did alot of troubleshooting i commend you for it. I have had the same issue with using 3 HP 32 inch 1920x1080p monitors.
