SJ is correct in saying SEIV was written in Delphi. I do not know for sure on SEIII.

Dang, Fyron beat me to it.

Edit 2: wow, 3 Posts in 3 minutes. Not bad. 6 in 7 minutes.

The ancient and forgotten "original" SE without a number was in VB, as was SE II. SE III and SE IV were in Delphi (though different Versions). SE V might be in C++ just because so many libraries are in C++ now.

Great.
Will mail MM tomorrow and give them a hint, altough they might use stuff that isn't compatible with Linux, the chance still remains...

There are loots of libraries and components and stuff to Delphi too.
Much are made for both C and Delphi.

And usually people tends to stick with what they're good at, atleast I.

I've tried C++ and VB but I have to look up things all the time, much easier for me to do Delphi that I have in my memory and don't have to learn.

I've heard that SE IV works with WinE. Maybe SE V will also.

Ooh, I've heard that it didn't.

Will have to test that someday soon then!

Some people (I am one) are having problems with the mini bmps not showing every other time a game is loaded. I did 2 things that did help with the other problems I had:
1. I put in the windows fonts
2. Changed "PerfectGraphics" = "N" to "Y" in wine/config

I thought SE5 was going to use DirectX, which pretty much throws Linux out the window, doesn't it?
