Ubuntu/Linux

[Shazam]

Is anyone running FF or FFvTTR on Linux specifically Ubuntu?
I have managed to install FF via WINE, but i can't get it to run. I haven't tried FFVTTR as yet, just wondered if anyone has managed it.
Failing that is it possible to run the character tool in Linux? Would be nice to try a bit of skinning again.

I don't have Linux. But according to this link http://www.gog.com/en/mix/great_gog_games_that_works_on_linux,  is among those said to work with Linux. There's an additional comment that it was "Tested in Ubuntu 10.04 and works".

Based on his comment on this thread http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=54559.0, I believe Tawodi Osdi uses Linux, but seemed to have some trouble with the game.

A bit of a necro - in case anyone else is looking
runs great, I use the following script to run mine. I run wine-1.3.37 on Ubuntu 10.04. I have the GOG version installed.

cd '/home/peter/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/FFvTTR/'
winetricks  ddr=opengl multisampling=enabled winxp glsl=enabled dsoundhw=Emualted mwo=force
wine explorer.exe /desktop=FFvTR,800x600 ffvt3r.exe


I also threw together this script to convert  meshes into  - it uses the modtools nifconverter.

Thanks for the info; nice of you to share. BTW, have you been able to run mods?

(Minor typo in dsoundhw=Emualted?)
