Ric Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I thought Americas Army was still in or just coming to the end of beta testing, still gentoo games sounds like a good idea just a shame my pc takes a good 45seconds to find the boot medium when i set it to boot from cd :( Rickles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relic2K Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I think I will send them some input; On my wifes puter, it didn't like the USB Mouse and Keyboard, so it decided to die On my linux box, it took one look at the 2 CPUs and totally gave up and stopped loading The idea is fantastic, because it keeps you gaming separate from your everyday computer settings, security, and you don't have to worry about change either of them to go online and do some gaming. I really hope this idea is developed a lot futher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this idea is developed a lot futher. yup .. I think SMP kills the cd boot :-( my dual p3 wouldn't load the cd. but I have the files extracted and I'm playing it just like a normal old game :#: there are instructions on forums.gentoo.org for extracting the files from the cd. or email me ... and I'll send you the extracted game that I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHattr Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 does anyone know when you will be able to just download americas army for linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hi No need to boot cd hence burn it's iso image. Idea is to mount iso image then copy /opt/armyops170 to large enough partition find armyops-bin, cd to where it is then ./armyops-bin to play. All previous is discussed... at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=54264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 i didn't bother burning the iso mounted the iso image with -o loop and got the livecd.coop out then used coop to extract livecd.coop to aa.iso then mounted aa.iso so i could copy the americas army directory into my games directory. runs great.

I read the stuff at the Gentoo forum, but found it confusing. How can I do this like you are discussing above ? What program is required by Mandrake to extract the coop file ? Where do I get the "coop" package for Mandrake ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
