The good news is... You don't have to! You can now have the best of both worlds.
getlibs will install all the 32bit dependencies, for a .deb or binary, on a 64bit OS.
No that's not a typo, you can run 32bit games in x64.

Download getlibs-all.deb (the one you prolly want) here
http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb
Since it's a .deb, you just double click to install it.
For those of us that can't look at a piece of software and intuitively know how to use it,
there's a good How-To here

Yes it's old, but the info is still good.
For a binary, the hardest part is knowing the whole address to where you have it parked.
In a terminal type
- Code: Select all
getlibs /complete_address_to/name_of_package
of course you need to change complete_address_to with the actual address for where you parked it
and name_of_package should be self explanatory.
Run that command until it tells you all the dependencies are installed.
double click on the package's executable to run it.
