RE: Addition to new test data

I tried and seemingly yes, it will. I got so far as to "Fort Frolic", however using the hack Bioshock will start crashing or just exiting non-reproduceable at random times and places. I could play the complete second level "Welcome to Rapture" in one go on my first try but could never repeat it. At least three or four times I have to restart from a quicksave (and reconfigure Bioshock as it always discards its config settings on exit) to get through. Sadly the hack will sometimes also result in crashes in the first level even before reaching the lighthouse and it makes level loading excruciatingly slow. From some gamesites I got savegames of all the levels and they work, even facing Fontaine and ending the game is possible. Interestingly, with the hack I can crank the detail settings all the way up to max without any further decrease in stability.
So I guess only a little bit of tweaking on Wine and it should run fine. The intro video and sometimes the level loading screens are upside-down. But I'm using an nvidia card and I blame it on their drivers.
