Hi!

I've just emerged wine and want to start Worms2. But the game says it can't open CD player and exits. I think my wine config is ok:

Code:

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"

Does anybody knows how to fix it? I'm new to wine so this can be a silly question, but I can't find an answer on the net

Regards
pave

Hi,

I think there is an error in your config file : the "filesystem" line has nothing to do here, IMHO. The wine config file reads the following :

Quote:

- "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32

CD's filesystem is ISO-9660. So, I would remove that line.

If that does not work, you could try pointing the "Device" variable directly to your cdrom drive's node, and not to the symlink as you are doing now.

Last, you need to check your node's permissions, to ensure that your normal user has access to it.

I hope this will solve your problem[/code]
