Hi- wanted to know if anyone here is successfully running a version of Bryce on a Linux machine, and if so, what emulator / setup are you using?
Thanks
Paul

Someone did successfully instal and run Carrara 5 - check www.yahoogroups.com/group/CarraraFan
and look for recent messages (2-3 weeks back) on Linux
I think it was from that french-canadian guy at Flocquons de Paques
and he used SuSe Linux and latest Wine.
If that fails for Bryce or Poser or others, try finding a WIndows install CD (winXP preferred but others are supported too) and use Parallels for WIndows and Linux. It's about half the price of Paralels for Mac which is $79 if I recall. Check www.thebest3d.com/parallels
I recommend Parallels for Mac also for Project DOgwaffle and other WIndows-only applications

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to check out the free trial.

I think Wine is the way to go... do some googling :)
I've read posts in other forums where someone was able to run Bryce Lightning using Wine/Linux on an modified XBOX :)

I havent heard of any one succesfully running bryce in linux. Why would u want to anyways? With the need for an emulator it'll probably perform less quickly then it would under windows.

I was able to get bryce 5 and lightning to install with wine under edubuntu 6.10 (version of ubuntu) and even got it to run after copying a bunch of dll's from my xp box.
I've not yet run it more extensively than that.

yeh please do
"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.
