Game Collector Tips

Getting boxart to show up in Game Collector

(This tip applies if you've already installed Game Collector!)

I set this app up on a Linux System (Ubuntu 10.10), and ran it under Crossover Office 10.

In Collectorz' "Game Collector" program, when you click a game whose info you've cataloged, it would show an image of (typically) the "boxart" for that game, along with a description, # of players, etc... Well, it apparently uses Internet Explorer to do so, which means you must install Internet Explorer in the Wine Bottle you've installed Game Collector in, which can be done by going to "Install windows software" in your Program Launcher (I've only tested this on linux, so I'm not POSITIVE on what to launch on a Mac), navigate to "internet Explorer 7" (That's what I used, so use that!) and select it, you can skip over the bar that says "Will Download the installer..." and click the one that says "Will install into a new..." and change it to whatever you installed game collector to.
