[EQ1] Everquest 1 on Linux

Moglor · 05-21-2008

I am downloading Yellow Dog Linux onto my Ps3 and I really wanted to see if I can get Everquest 1 to boot up on it. Does anyone know a windows emulator (Cedega, WINE) that will work with Everquest 1? I am choosing to try to get eq1 to work because of the fact it doesn't have daunting pc requirements to run it! We all know the ram in the Ps3 is the suxxors!

Since the PS3 is not an x86 machine, you'll need more than a compatibility layer to run it (which is what WINE is). You'd need a full-blown emulator, which will have a huge performance penalty, if you could get it to work at all.

EQ uses a huge chunk of memory anyway. Even with new models disabled and such, you're looking at about 500 MB.
