Quote needed...
I'm looking over to fully convert to linux, but there's a program holding me back. Subspace/Continuum is my favorite game in the world and I'm wondering how much would it cost to have it re-written to work on a linux platform. The link for the game is at subspacedownloads.com, it's the top file (continuum038setup.exe)

Unless you have the source code or a decompiler you won't be able to port it to Linux. I'd suggest
getting an emulator so you can run windows in Linux.

VMWare and a dual booting seems to be the solution.......but I'd rather not have Windows on my computer, that game is the ONLY program that runs only in windows that I need.

I thought the point of an emulator was to remove
the dual boot option. I've never done it and confess
I'm ignorant of such things.Demologic.com

VMWare will allow you to run Windows within Linux. What you could do is get Wine, which allows you to run Windows programs within Linux, instead of Windows itself.
