New Wine looks promising! :)

I just emerged the new Version of wine and now my Warcraft III gets a little bit further: I can hear the music while it is displaying an error message:

Hmm, yesterday I tried Counter-Strike with this new version of wine. It still runs (the previous version of wine didn't run it, the one before that did).
Works pretty well. It's a little bit slower than playing it under Windows (I use a GF4Ti4400 and play it at 1600x1200), but still very playable.

Voice-support never worked for me (with an SB Live!), but now it at least initializes. Pressing the V-button does transmit something, but not my voice

I'm gonna look into my mixer-settings, maybe there's something that'll fix it over there.

The digest file was incorrect, doing "emerge sync" will fix the problem.

Castle of the Winds! Woah I haven't played that game in years. Do you have the full version or just shareware?

disclaimer: i am not supporting piracy, this is to help people who can not play games because wine does not support copy protection YET.

the reason you cant play single player is the blasted cd copy protection. the copy protection usually sucks and all that you need to fix it is an unarchiver and an internet connection.

the two sites you should try first are
http://www.gamecopyworld.com/
http://www.megagames.com (look for "Game Fixes")

then just search for it, with gamecopyworld you have to go to the right, once you've picked your mirror and entered, and look for PC Game Index (try this http://gamecopyworld.dreamflow.org/games/gcw_index.shtml but its not guarenteed).

if you can not find your game at either try http://www.ircspy.com and look around irc for the fix.

some require you leave the cd in (backups), with others you can just leave the cd out.

support wine and not winex. winex will not go anywhere as it is not open, as people have said wine is progressing faster than winex.

ps. dont flame me if this is common knowledge to you, others may not know

Doesn't copy protection also work for Diablo 2? I believe it did for me..

I updated to wine-20031016 yesterday and have been able to get further in the insatall of Emperor RotMK but it drops out just after you've chosen an install directory.

Before it would break while loading the install shield. Anyone else had any luck, it's a really cool game and I'd like to play it some more.
I could already run the game from a windows install with the nocd crack but the diplomacy is all mixed up making any interesting lvels impossible.
Besides that I already had Warcraft 3 running.

Cheers

Ever heard about Fritz (chess) running on wine now?
The last reason why I still need windows...

Exci · Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2003 9:02 am Post subject:

Hmm maybe I'm going to try it too,
since Diablo 1.10 is out and my vmware doesn't want to display any diablo2 graphics anymore ....

But still .. I hate emulating windows crap,
doesn't matter of its wine/winex/vmware or whatever
