Hi there.
I've looked around the forums, and it looks like there's a LEGAL way to download cedega from cvs, and that there's a certain script to ease out the task of downloading + installing it. Now, i've followed the links, and reached the page where the script was supposed to be, but simply isn't. any ideas as how to do it? Install cedega legally, i mean, without having to pay a fortune for what's supposed to be free.

Cedegacvs sucks, I suggest you to use cedegatimedemo;) You can download it from transgaming.com page

yeah, i downloaded it, but i don't want to play for only two weeks, i want to stick with it, right? unless, of course, you know some way to.. uhhhh, "extend" the time period indefinitely.

You can uninstall it, delete all configuration files and then install again;) or use amule :]

uhhhh, just that? reinstall? is it that dumb?

i was expecting something more.... elaborate..

and isn't there some way to get the cvs version working, or to make an ebuild out of it?

cedega cvs is nowhere up to date, last time I looked it hadn't been updated in over a year...

There is no way to extend the trial of cedega except buying a license;) You can always use wine instead:D

weren't they supposed to release updates? after all they should keep a free vesion of cedega, right?

If you're not willing to pay for Cedega, I suggest you look into Wine, what game(s) are you trying to download? Many do work just fine under Wine.

unfortunately, i can't get wine to work, don't know why. i run winecfg one hundred times, i specify the c drive (a directory inside my home), and everytime i start it, it still says there is no c drive....

just run wine with no options... It creates that stuff automatically.
