While I am not a Linux "newbie", I am not into scripting etc, I just use it on a daily basis. So any help with this would be *really* appreciated, or at least another site that explains the process..

Hello,

This is the way I use in order to play supertux on my mythtv box.

I've put a shell scripts in the /usr/games/ directory and use the
pc-game player in mythgame.

No problem to launch the game.
