STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy™. I guess ill just have to mount disk 1 every time I play. Mortally challenged Lulz. Feb 9, 2016 @ 4:19pm.
I had some problems installing, and after searching for any solutions out there I found that I wasn't alone. I was to find that it does install pretty easily, and runs bloody well. I compared the performance with the open sourced version of, and considering that Jedi Academy is a bit more resource heavy, it's close to native speeds. So, the problem I noticed many had, is the installer, because there are 2 CDs, and switching cds in Wine is always a problem, especially when you're mounting them as iso's. Beware that this solution requires you to use a 'NoCd' exe, but since you own the original game you have nothing to worry about. Follow these steps: • Pop in the CDs.
• Install and launch. • Mount each iso image, and keep the application open throughout this process. • (Install Wine) and launch winecfg ('Configure Wine'). • In winecfg, select the tab Drives and click 'Add', select a drive letter and 'Browse' for the folder where the iso is mounted (for me it was /home/me/swjacd1).
Then click 'Show advanced' and select CDROM as the Type. Repeat these steps for CD2. Then click 'Ok'.
• Now open /home/me/swjacd1 in ex. Nautilus and launch autorun.exe. Click 'Install' and wait for it to ask for CD2.
• This installer is nice enough to give you a path to the CD, so all you have to do now is change the drive letter. So say CD1 is in D: and CD2 in E:, change 'D: GameData' so it says 'E: GameData'. • Once the installer has finished it will ask you to change CD again to CD1.
You know what to do. • Before you can launch the game you need to replace the installed jasp.exe with the one found in the NoCd package (link further down). For me this file was installed here: /home/me/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/GameData/jasp.exe • Once you have the new exe in place, you can unmount the iso's in Furious ISO Mount and exit the app. Don't launch the game with the installed shortcut, instead launch it with a desktop file (code further down). Or, if you prefer, open nautilus and open jasp.exe normally. Launching the game Create a file and name it star-wars-jk-jedi-academy.desktop, save it in ~/.local/share/applications/ Remember to edit the paths in the code below to match your local installation.

Didn't work out to well. I had to disable 'Detailed Shader' to get a smooth framerate. Just a heads up. With that turned off it runs FAST.
