null1024:
Just tried EoSD myself, runs at "60" fps in game, but it feels like 30, runs at "120" fps in the menu but feels like 60.

StB runs just fine [60fps and whatnot]. Thought it might crash on starting up, displayed a bit of garbage and tried to change the resolution twice, but it opened up just fine [although I didn't initially expect it to fail, I've historically been able to get it to run in Wine], ran full speed, slight text problem [weird colors and odd transparency issues for some bits of text].
Also, pictures aren't corrupt anymore [can't remember the last Wine version I tried, but at least it's gone now]! Yay!

Tengukami:
Hey guys.

Just thought I'd share something I discovered regarding making videos of replays. Many of you probably already know this, but I thought it'd be a good reference.

I use two apps: recordmydesktop and ffmpeg.

Recordmydesktop is available in Synpatic among other places and is incredibly simple to use. Just hit "Select Window", and drag the cursor over the game window, then hit record.

When finished, hit the record button in your panel to stop it. It'll then process the recording, and output it as an .ogv file, to /home by default. Recording a spellcard in Double Spoiler produces a high quality video about 90MB in size.

If you want to keep the quality but reduce the file size, you can get ffmpeg from Synaptic. Open the directory that the video is in in Terminal and paste the following command:

$ ffmpeg -i out.ogv -target ntsc-dvd -aspect 4:3 [whateveryouwanttonameit].mpg

The output is pretty much the same quality, but at a third the size: in this case, down from 91.8MB to 33.1MB

That's all there is to it.

The one caveat I should mention is to check your sound outputs. Depends on your OS, so to make sure you record sound as well as video, have all your outpits on.

Momiji:
Oh, right. There's two versions of this in Gentoo, recordmydesktop (shell-only) and recordmydesktop-gtk (GTK+ based). And having a soundcard with self-recording capability (i.e. generally none of the "intel-hda" chips) or some sort of ALSA loopback dark magic is necessary for audio recording.

chejomolina:
Hi i'n new here, thanks for all information very usefull i try it with EoSD and work fine but on stages 4 and 5 fps get down to 3 or 4 fps too bad but i can play firts stages very good that's something

Momiji:
Huh, weird. Does it slow down on the same stages consistently, or just after a certain period of time?
