Half-Life on Linux [Native] (AMD Radeon Catalyst fglrx) Valve toGL Old Good Games
Today I'll show you how looks and works Half-Life on Linux.
Game has been released while ago and some times ago Valve port it also to Linux (when Steam for Linux born). They make a semi-native port, because they use its own technology Valve toGL (Direct3D to OpenGL abstraction / translation layer). So we have a native Linux binary but they used translation layer.
This is good solution for old games (like HL or Team Fortress Classic) than WINE or similar technology.
