I mean like, the vast majority of games that I play. I don't see any linux releases for shattered galaxy, world of warcraft, worms armageddon. By games, I mean commercial games that I play on my PC. Does it even have a PSX emulator?
Pretty much anything written in DirectX won't work in linux.. At least, not to my knowledge.
And if it's an annoying process just to get things working, I still don't want to do it.
...install wine, either through synaptic (click, click, close) or command line (sudo apt-get install wine), then from a console 'wine blah.exe'. I've found very little that doesn't work with that, SPSS being a curious exception. Apparently it does work with wine but I don't have the bandwidth to tinker. :|
Stuff like worms armageddon should work like a dream, and you'll find a lot of older games sometimes work better in linux than windows. Remember when everyone was bitching about XP's shitty backwards compatability? Wine's is better.
As for PSX, "pSX emulator (more commonly referred to as pSX) is a PlayStation emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. Its first public Windows version (1.0) was released on January 29, 2006, and the first official Linux port (1.11) was released on February 24, 2007. pSX is freeware, available for download.", apparently.
