this time, Elite Force has a MAC port on the way. This port is going to be developed by Westlake Interactive and published by Aspyr Media. Nothing else has been officially announced but John Scott hinted to a Linux port by saying this in his .plan. We have a dedicated EF Linux server built. A kind gent is testing it for us.

A [NEW]. As of pSX 1.11, an official Linux port has been released alongside its Windows counterpart. Check the official homepage for a link. A [OLD]. It's a possibility, but not a priority at the moment. People have reported limited success with running it on Wine, so you might want to test it on that.

According to pSX Author... "at one point I did port it to xbox but I no longer have access to a devkit so I doubt I'll ever release this."

It won't. It is unfortunately too strongly tied to the Windows user interface. Making it run under Linux would at least require rebuilding the program windows. But if there would be strong demand, I may consider porting at least some functions to some other OS. Or I may make online versions of some features.

Yes. We are actually very close to a beta release of our new Linux version! It's working very well already. After we've done the Linux version we might look into a Mac version, but that's not decided yet. This seems to happen with Windows 2000 and XP. It's a known 'issue' with the Wacom drivers and Windows Wintab. The best work-around is to disable 'Show Web Content' from the Active Desktop settings in Windows.

Star Trek Elite Force II is powered by the Quake III Arena engine, which in turn is greatly modified and enhanced by Ritual's ÜberTools technology (see next FAQ question for ÜberTool details).

Star Trek Elite Force II was developed by Ritual Entertainment, a development studio based in Dallas, TX.

Raven Software was the studio that developed the first Elite Force game. Raven was approached to do Elite Force II, but they turned it down as they were already doing Jedi Knight II and Soldier of Fortune II at the time and could not take on another project.

Star Trek Elite Force II features a broad variety of different environments. Besides the Borg Sphere and Starfleet Academy at the beginning of the game, the Hazard Team visits desert and ice planets, as well as deadly swamps. There is also one low-gravity mission, where Munro finds himself on the hull of the Enterprise and has to fight off attacking enemies. Naturally, the game also features portions of the U.S.S.

The Hazard Team goes up against a number of familiar enemies, such as Andorians, Borg, Klingons, Romulans, Nausicaans and Ferengi. Additionally, the team will come under attack by a mysterious new race called Exomorphs. For more information visit our Aliens section.

Yes, Star Trek Elite Force II features several multiplayer modes and about 13 maps. See the next FAQ question for details.

The main modes are Holomatch, Team Holomatch, and Capture the Flag. Within these modes there will be several modifiers: One Flag - There is one flag in the center of the map rather than one at each base. The object is to take that flag and run it into the other team's base to score points. Action Hero - One player is chosen to be Action Hero and as such gets a full complement of weaponry and regenerative health. Players try to kill the Action hero and in doing so become the new action hero.

Elite Force is the ultimate in sci-fi first-person shooter action, using the Quake III Arena(TM) engine - the best 3-D shooter engine in existence. The first game based on the Star Trek Voyager universe, Elite Force pits players against a multitude of Star Trek enemies, including the relentless Borg and never-before-seen aliens in intense single-player and multiplayer combat missions. Elite Force will be the first title released using the licensed Quake III Arena(TM) engine.

pSX (Linux) makes use of the "libgtkglext" library to draw OpenGL graphics to screen. As such, it needs to be installed in order for pSX to work. You should be able to find this library in your Linux distribution's package repository.

Whether there will be at game sets of artefacts with an end result (the Helmet of a tiger, an armour of a tiger, frosty Hammer = Force of a dragon and regeneration, etc.

Supported platforms depend on the interface used to communicate with the INSTEON network. Smarthome's PowerLinc (USB and Serial) which are supplied with the Developer Kits support any platform that can communicate with either a serial or USB port.

It was originally only released as part of an LP box set, Working Backwards 1984-1974. Much of the material is overlapping with Apollo, though. MFF II hasn't been released on cd intact, though many tracks do appear on the recent Instrumental Eno box set.

Elite was originally written for the BBC Micro. There was a separate version if your machine had the optional floppy disc drive, and these were both launched at the same time. The BBC disc version had the special missions in it, and more space craft, but we couldn't fit these in to the 22K available on the basic machine.

A legionnaire with less than five years service must always wear a uniform. N.C.O.S whatever their service may wear civilian clothes when off duty. Motor vehicles may not be purchased by a legionnaire of less than five years service and who has not undergone "military regularization of situation".

Single Player: The single player game allows you, the player, to play Alexander(or Alexandria) Munro, 2nd in command of the Hazard Team, which was formed by Lt. Commander Tuvok to handle extreme situations that Voyager and her crew may encounter. When you install the Elite Force Demo, the installer will place two options in the start menu: one for single player and one for multiplayer.

This sub menu of the LCARS system allows you to adjust settings to optimize your gaming experience: Video, Controls, Sound, Game Options and Default Settings. Attack/Look - Change the controls that control how you fire your weapon and the commands to look around your environment. Mouse/Joystick - This menu adjusts the mouse and joystick properties. Currently only basic joystick configurations are available. Mouse Speed - This slider affects the responsiveness of the mouse.

Not unless someone volunteers to do it :) It would be an understatement to say it would be a non-trivial task. Wine might offer a way to port the Gecko / control to Linux / x86 Unix systems using the Win32 API but linking to WINELib. Note that the control uses ATL which might have certain licencing issues surrounding it. The alternative is to write an open source ATL look-a-like, with the subset of functionality that the control requires.

Sooner or later, most people who own an S-100 system need to transfer a file to or from a DOS or Windows (or Macintosh or whatever) computer. A Google search of comp.os.cpm "groups" will find a discussion of this very topic that last occurred in early 2003. It's an old topic. Most people who need to establish serial file transfers to or from a CP/M system (or N* DOS system) of ANY sort end up doing something like this: get a SIMPLE file transfer program onto their CP/M system.

Sorry, but currently we do not have a Mac or Linux compatible version. However we will have a web/Java no-download version in a couple of months which you could play on your web browser from a Mac, Linux or Pocket PC. If you are using a firewall or any other security/antivirus software on your PC such as ZoneAlarm or Norton, it might prevent Play65™ game software to connect to the game server.

Skinkers has made a considerable investment in researching and developing a desktop alert solution that is now utilised by many of the world's most prestigious news and commercial organisations (such as the BBC, Sky, The London Stock Exchange and American Airlines). Led by customer requirements Skinkers initially developed the client software to run on the dominant end-user platform, Windows from Microsoft.

Reading Apple II 5.25" floppies on a Mac requires the addition of special hardware. One company, Kennect, did make two drives that would handle this trick: the Drive 360 and the Drive 1200. They were primarily meant for reading 5.25" PC disks but were also advertised as having the ability to read Apple II DOS 3.3 and ProDOS floppies. Both required a device called the "Rapport", which plugged into the Mac's external floppy port and also gave the internal 3.

What are the system requirements for Freedom Force? The minimum system requirements to run Freedom Force are: MB free hard disk space plus space for saved games (with additional space required for Windows swap-file and DirectX 8.

PC and Xbox 360. Modding tools (and ability to play the game with mods installed) will be available only for PC users.

Redstorm and Ubi Soft are planning for an Xbox release in addition to the PC release. Expect the same style of gameplay that you will come to love from the PC version on the Xbox version.
