I hated going back to windows just to test my GP32 games. And I didnt want to do that whole GP32 <-> PC thing to test the game on real hardware via the PC Link. (requires a bios flash and I am too paranoid for that). Not to mention my GP32 is still on its way back from mash.
So, in a last desparate attempt, I upgraded my WineX to 3.3-1 (rpm) and tried it (default settings), and lo an behold! GeePee32 works perfectly (as perfect as it normally does lol) in Linux via WineX! I tested a couple of my in development games and they worked exactally as they do on GeePee32 in windows.
(I tried normal Wine, but there are too many unsupported DirectX calls and flags in normal Wine)
You must move the GeePee32 window to the VERY top left of the screen or you wont see the images, but other then that it works pefectly, I just copied my "emu" directory over from the devkitadv package to the root of my fake c: drive and ran it. Perfect the first time.
winex3 "c:\emu\geepee32.exe" (optionally add your flags to it)
You can probably just run it directly from your home directory or even your windows parition if thats what you want, but I found it easier just to make a copy in the root of my fake c: drive.
Remember, use WineX, regular old Wine just wont cut it, because of GeePee32's heavy useage of DirectX.
I didnt seem to have any problems with GeePee32 in linux, so I thought I would share this tid bit of info.
