Cedega 6.0 - Part 1

Obtain

For : Mepis Linux 6.x

by : je.saist


This is an almost remix of first Cedega guide which was based on the 5.2.3 release. Because of this, several of the steps of getting to into the Cedega site have omitted. This guide picks up already inside the Cedega system at the Software License agreement.

This is a 3 part guide that covers installing Cedega 6, but also covers managing older Cedega engines. Now, why exactly would you want to install and use an older engine? We'll touch on that more in Part 3.


This guide presumes that you have subscribed to Cedega. If you are not a Cedega
Subscriber, this guide, and future Windows Games on Cedega guides will do you no good.
