The Orange Box using Wine.

January 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I got Valve’s Orange Box (Portal, Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and friends) running really easily using this tutorial. It’s pretty basic stuff, getting Sling Player to work was a bit tougher but it works for me. The only issue I have with the Orange Box so far is I have yet found a way to adjust the in-game resolution, it seems locked at 1024×768. Kinda sucks but it’s fun to play games again. If anyone has any ideas post a comment and let me know.

    Hey thanks Uncle Ed! Your new rig sounds like it should kick some butt. Let me know how many FPS you get on Quake 3. :)
