[mythtv-users] Games in MythTV: older 3d games with GeForce 6150 over s-video?

Hi,

I am using from time to time MythGame and I love it. I love to play
sometimes some old games like Aladin with zsnes.

But I was thinking about installing a few old 3d games in wine, which
I still have somewhere in the closet. Games like Quake2 or Forsaken or
[add you game here]. I was always a full time Linux user and I never
started playing these games by myself, but I got addicted from time to
time when I was at the school ... long time ago :).

Now back to MythTv ... I have ASUS M2NPV-VM with integrated graphics
(GeForce 6150 + nForce 430) and I am using latest drivers. Connection
to TV is over S-Video cable. I have Athlon 64 X2 AM2 3800+.

Should I even try to install these games and try to play the 3d games
with this hardware? These games are pretty old so I thought that
today's integrated graphics and faster CPUs could handle that...

I would try to "convince" the games to play them with wireless
Logitech rumblepad (Gamepad), because I have no keyboard on this
mythbox.

Any experiences with this?

Thanks

M.
