Thread: Help with midi in vista

Uh.. Ubuntu really doesn't support games.

Does Vista still have that run as... option? run it as a windows 95 program.

if by that, you mean Canonical won't support Windows games, then yes - they're a Linux vendor

but the vast majority of windows stuff will run fine under Wine

Use Wine's AppDB (application database) to check whether there are any specific problems with things

Here's TGF2's AppDB

As with a lot of obscure windows stuff, the AppDB entry is quite old - using wine 0.9.30 (we're up to 0.9.58, I think now)

Yes, Vista has various compatibility modes (I think most are software emulation though, so speed may be a problem?)

If he's running games too old for Vista, they will probably run just fine through software emulation. Midis haven't been used in ten years.
