Thanks. Must have missed it. I quickly scanned the posts (again) but didn't pick up on it. Serves me right for posting when eating.
I went on to Cedega's site, but I couldn't find anything that gave any hints as to whether it was able to better support Alleg than is wine. Of course, I'm not really sure as to what I should be looking for. I think I've spent all of 5 minutes playing with wine before I purged it.

Given that our volunteer devs sometimes struggle to find the free time to maintain our existing codebase, an OS X port is unlikely. To complicate matters further, our anti-cheat software relies heavily on .Net.
I have a mac, as do a handful of other players in this community. I think all of us use Boot Camp to dual boot into XP. I would like to be able to run Alleg without rebooting as much as the next guy, but it's just not very likely.

Same goes for Linux, I'm afraid.

I've toyed with it with winelib, except the converter isn't smart enough to figure out which source files/folders are being used, so it tries to compile everything. All the extra junk in the code throws it off. Not to mention the specific settings in the project configuration that it needs to compile right. Winelib doesn't get that either.
Well, I have been over the last couple of weeks hammering away on getting allegiance and wine to work together. There havn't been any major breakthroughs but I do have some information that might help some of the others working on this to have one:
1st: In my case it is a sound failure, not a video failure that brings down allegiance. Could this be one of the sound file decompression libraries(OGG)?
2nd: For your debugging pleasure I put allegiance.exe through the old faithful vb 6 dependency walker and discovered (at lease some) of the cross dependencies. You can use this info while making your custom wine system. Perhaps later today I will grab all these dll files and package them on my linux allegiance install and see what happens.
