Sorry guys, it’s been years since I’ve been on Linux and doing any gaming at all for that matter. School work has been taking up a majority of my time and these guides are extremely dated. Seems like they really updated the servers at Ubuntu and removed or moved many of the necessary files.
My current computer absolutely hates Linux (been having issues with every install and attempt). Once I get a good stable install, I will be bringing back this blog.
So sorry for any inconveniences!
Having trouble display web pages, web content, or accessing the internet in programs using Wine? Here is a quick tutorial on installing Gecko into Wine.
Open up your terminal and type in the following code:
wine iexplore http://winehq.org
From there it should ask to install Gecko and just follow the instructions it provides. If this fails, there is still hope and another option.
This has excerpt is from the Official Wine Wiki. Run these commands one after another in terminal.
$ wget http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab
$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/wine/gecko
$ sudo mv wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab /usr/share/wine/gecko
This still didn’t work? There is still always WineTricks that can help out in times of despiration.
A nice little update from Wine from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5. A few new things in this release.

Time to bring back the oldschool with the classic, Famicon. The Famicon or the Nintendo Entertainment System, as it was known in the states, was a console of epic proportions. It was the beginning of the never-ending journey of Final Fantasy and the addiction to saving everyones favorite princess, Zelda. And now you can play all your favorite classics on linux.
There are multiple ways to installing an NES Emulator onto Ubuntu. I am going to show you the quickest and easiest way to install my personal favorite, FCE Ultra. If you are using an up-to-date version of Ubuntu this will be a painless install. First you will have to do is go to “Applications >> Add/Remove.”
From there allow ‘All Available Applications’ to be shown then search “FCE Ultra.” Check off FCE Ultra and GFCE Ultra NES Emulator and then click Apply Changes.
Now all you have to do is find your favorite NES games in a ROM form and run GFCE Ultra from Applications > Games > GFCE Ultra NES Emulator. Within the GUI frontend you can configure the Input, Video, ect. options to tweak it to your liking. To further your experience, follow our guide to installing Game Pads on linux. Enjoy =D
Any problems? Just leave a comment I will respond as soon as I find a solution.

It has been good to hear that Wine had finally reached 1.0 but they do not stop the good news, version 1.1.0 has been released with a considerable amount of fixes;
These latest releases have been quite perfect for me but you can always try speeding Wine up even more to get the most out of your linux gaming experience.
After a long while with no computer and no life. I got my time back, and my computer going. The site will now be updated on a semi-weekly basis. I will try to keep the updates down to a minimum of once a week for your linux pleasures. Sorry for the long downtime but LGT is back in business.
I say this everytime and it is so true, when a new version of Wine is released I get extremely excited.
Here are the main changes this time:
Binary packages may not be built yet but you can always do things the elite way; compiling the source. If not, just keep checking the packages page and they will be up shortly.
