Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy both have open source ports that work great (and there are several).

I've used https://github.com/xLAva/JediAcademyLinux [External Link] and https://github.com/xLAva/JediAcademyLinux [External Link]

I built in Fedora 23. I didn't have to install much, just bullet-devel, boost-devel and libmad-devel. When compilation failed I used the repos to find out which package(s) include the missing files and it was pretty obvious from there.

Framerates are fine. Beyond the missing features and huge minimap it is totally playable. I ran in a 1024x768 window.

I tried a faster car and it actually worked as expected, pretty peppy. I drove around town a while and it looked like I was able to damage the car just not to the point where it would blow up. I also couldn't run people down but there are the random NPCs walking all over the place.

I build from source and it seems promising. There is a test option from the menu so I chose that. It drops you onto a parking garage with all the weapons and a variety of vehicles. The weapons can be picked up but have no ammo. The cars can be driven but they are all basically the same AFAICT. You can't damage vehicles.

It looks really good except for the minimap which isn't so mini:



I think the original games used the same engine. The current build of openrw doesn't work for me with GTA:VC (I get a segfault).

Hey, nice. I reported the movies not working issue. Tech support blew me off with "try re-installing your video driver". Glad it got fixed.
