hey there,
just made redundant, want to play my fav. game. But, just downloaded it (legally, actually), but i can't do anything with the files as it only worked on Windows b4.
I downloaded Football Manager 2005 for PC. I read around and it apparently can work on Ubuntu. I have 8.10.
I read about Wine etc, this would not let me mount the bin file. I thied GISO mount, but it won't mount it either. I've tried to convert the files to ISOs, but this didnt work, it wouldnt convert.
Any ideas, i'm bored without a job, and i can only do so much searching a day.
Cheers, you'd be improving a man's happiness.
James

just try
modprobe loop
in your terminal.
if it gives you no request:
sudo apt-get install loop
after that mount your file with:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /your/directory/of/.bin /cdrom
(you can use any folder instead of /cdrom)

Hi, i entered 'modprobe loop' in terminal it said some error. I then entered 'sudo apt-get install loop' and it said
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package loop
I'm totally new to this, i'm not sure how to type location in of bin. It's on my desktop, the bin and cue is called fm2005.bin/cue. i've managed to use AcetoneISO2 which mounts the bin to a virtual drive. It allows me to click the setup.exe, opens the fm install page then says it can't proceed.
Man, i'm dying to play this game, being jobless is poo!
Cheers

cheers for that. I'll be honet,i'm lost! Yes, when i mount the bin file, a virtual drive appears on my desktop, just called 'A'. If i click on it, it shows several folders (including the crack) and the executable in there is 'autorun.exe'. If i click that, it says something in French about something (cant copy text) then stops installing. I know this game works on my pc as i used to play it on xp.
Now,C:/...i didnt think i had one on Linux?
Cheers for your help, much appreciated.

ok, i do the sudo config it just says 'jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ sudo winecfg
wine: /home/jamie/.wine is not owned by you
jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure
jamie@jamie-laptop:~$
' (Jamie is me , hi!)
I don't know why its saying things about ownership, i keep trying to delete a file from my trashcan, and it says i dont have permisssion either. My computer thinks it is boss.

hmmm try to change permissions for /home/jamie/.wine
to 775
with:
chmod -R 775 /home/jamie/.wine
then run winecfg again...
now the directory drive_c should appear
//edit
775 means: write, reading, executing
7 everyone
5 only "users in group of owner" and "root"
