I'm a Cedega user and have been for over 2 years now. The only game I
actually play is Counter-Strike Source to be honest so I can't comment
on support for other games.
I've found the performance to be excellent under Cedega, compared to
running it native. My FPS when running CS:S under Cedega was better than
when I ran it under Windows.
Recently Valve changed Steam (the game content delivery program) which
stuffed the GUI up when running it with Cedega, so you have to guess
where tick boxes are. I've just recently got myself a new workstation
(Intel Core 2 Duo 6400, 2Gb RAM, 2x 250Gb STATA II in RAID-1, NVIDIA
7950 GT) and I will admit to installing Vista on it because I wanted to
try more games that Cedega doesn't currently support at all or support
very well.
One such game that doesn't work very well is Call of Duty 2. Punkbuster,
the anti-cheat mechanism they use for multiplayer doesn't play well with
Cedega and when I last tried it at least, kept kicking me off servers
claiming I'd h4x3d my Windows DLLs. m4d skillz ;-)
I'll probably continue to subscribe to Cedega because I like the choice
of using either OS and my subscription money is going towards the
development of open source software to give others a choice too :-)
Regards,
David.
