The Wonderland Games run in Linux

    I just proved to myself that the Wonderland game v1.17 (demo)
    does run in the (Ubuntu) Linux (11.10) OS, by applying several
    tweaks and programs.

    Please don't do any of the following unless you're sort-of an expert,
    because you might destroy your Windows setup if you
    make a mistake::: As a precaution, always make an image/backup
    of your Windows Drive, just in case.

    It's complicated, but in a very brief discussion, this is what was done:

    A: Install (Ubuntu) Linux on an external USB Drive (or 4gb+ Flash)
    You don't want to affect your Windows installation, (do you?),
    so install Linux on external media, and make sure that the
    boot sector is also placed on that external media.
    Your machine will only boot up to Linux if that USB drive is
    connected AND if you set up your BIOS to boot up from an external
    device... (again, this can be very complicated)

    But, if you don't mind doing a dual-boot setup with both
    Windows and Linux, then go ahead.

    B: After the Linux system is nice-and-steady,
    then right-click in the (top-left corner menu) settings,
    and select "Software Up To Date" to update your system.
    It is recommended to update the Linux, before proceeding to Step C.

    C: Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras,
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
    (The restricted extras allow you to play MP3s, flash, etc.)

    You can install these 'extras' by opening up a Linux terminal
    and typing:
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

    D: After lots and lots of installing of whatever favorite stuff
    that you want to add to your Linux system, (such as
    media players, movie players, etc), ...
    Click on the "Dash Home" (=top left menu corner),
    and then select "more Apps", and search for "Wine"

    http://www.winehq.org/

    Wine is a program that lets you run Windows program on Linux.

    (Install all the Wine you can find.)
    "WineTricks", "Q4Wine", and "Wine MS Windows
    Compatibility Layer", are special programs that allow you
    to run Windows programs in Linux, so please install them.
    ... After those are installed you'll want to
    run "Configure Wine".

    E: If you wish to allow your Linux system to write to
    any Windows NTFS (partitions) that you have, then also install
    the "NTFS Configuration Tool"....
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

    That is, open a terminal in your Linux, and type the following:
    sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
    More can be explained on this later...

    F: Linux has a file system that I'm still not used to. Shocked,
    and it's quite different from the Windows system.

    Nevertheless, after downloading (or having it ready),
    you can install Wonderland games in Linux, ...

    For example, if "WonderDemo.exe" is copied to your "Home/Downloads"
    folder, then right-click on it and select
    "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader", ...

    and voilà, you now have wonderland games installed and *(hopefully)
    running in Linux.

    In typical fashion 'Wine' will emulate the Drive C:
    as follows:

    /home/VirtLands/.wine/drive_c/wonderlands/Wonderland v1.17

    Linux uses lots of forward slashes,
    (in comparison to Windows backslashes).
    Linux will keep hidden lots of directories, so when you're
    in a Linux file explorer, just use Ctrl-H to see the hidden folders.

    The screen shot shown below is proof of Wonderland running in Linux.

    Theoretically you can also install Wine on the MAC system,
    but I've never tried that, I don't have MACintosh.

    The plus-side of Linux is that it can be installed on any USB media,
    (as long as there is enough room, like 4 gigabytes + _.)
