theSamo's Cacophony with your feet on the air

Most freeware/indiegame devs can't be arsed to develop for linux, nevermind release their code. So here's a list for my trials of running some of their awesome games on the definitive awesome OS.

Unless stated otherwise, I usually use defaults, but in winecfg i alternate between ALSA and OSS to find which works better. for DirectSound Hardware Acceleration i use the "Emulaton" option and tick Driver Emulation.

• N: Works.
  • I think because it's a Flash game. tested on Wine0.9.9 and above.

• Cave Story: Works.
  • I didn't test the installation and transaltion patching but many people confirmed it works.
  • Tested on Wine 0.9.9. Everything works although i get the feeling it's a tiny bit sluggish.

• Sue's Workshop: Works.
  • This is a map editor mod maker for cave story. Works perfectly i guess. Tested on Wine 0.9.22.

• Within A Deep Forest : Works.
  • Tested on Wine 0.9.22. Use Alsa Audio.
  • The first ball material's jump sound is kinda buggy and slows the game down (buffer overflow). I dunno how to fix this.
  • Fullscreen is buggy.

• Knytt : Works.
  • Works on 0.9.9 with sound.

• Hero: Works. But Sound is glitchy and annoying.
  • Works okay except for sound.

• Eternal Daughter: Works? (sorta.)
  • It runs with and endlesss repeating error on terminal. it sorta fscks the desktop up. it doesn't get it's own window, but is'nt fullscreen either.
  • Perfromance is not perfect. sound runs with ALSA.
  • It's playable. but i couldn't really bear playing it in stuch a state.

• A Game With a Kitty: Works.
  • Everything runs okay on Wine 0.9.22 except fullscreen :/

• Dwarf Fortress: Works.
  • Again, all except fullscreen on 0.9.22

• Lyle in Cube Sector: Works.
  • Wine 0.9.22
  • Starts in pseudo-fullscreen. you can get out of it by left alt+enter.
