dpad with linux?

[magomago]

is it possible? I clicked onthe Everything guide to DAPAD and it don't see anything about linux

 

[Overkiller]

n'est pas possible 🙁

No it isn't possible 🙁

As of this moment stephen is supporting only Windows based clients.

You can try running it on with wine on linux...

There are / were some custom ported linux clients, but they derived from a very old source code (3.1 IIRC) and they never really worked as good as the Windows ones. Stephen suggests to use Wine or VMWare to run the DPAD win CLI under linux. 😀

shoot...i dunno even how to use wine or anything....
dang now my dpad is going to go downhill >< 🙁

AFAIK Wine is very easy to use. U install it, set it up to emmulate WinXP or Win2k and run it. Then u gonna have a WindowsXP in a window in Linux. (or something like that 😀 )

I run it under linux with wine. It works fine, but it's about 20% slower compared with running it under windows.
Also the automatic sending doesn't work, but there's a linux version of the manualsend program.
