Additional Comments
The only thing that bugged me was the installation, since that wouldn't work out of the box since I was using ISOs. To get around it I used the technique described by Ric in the comments, and I had to start the installer like: "wine F:MafiaGame/MafiaSetup.exe F:\\" (where F was my virtual cd folder), through the launcher it kept complaining about not finding CD1.
After installing it worked perfectly without hickups or crashes.

after trying it finally works for me
by Häns Würst on Thursday March 15th 2012, 20:41
1st I'm usin ubuntu 10.04 and wine 1.4-rc6
Wine runs as win NT 4.0
Okay, guys, this is my workaound to got ist started:
US-Demo was running fine, except of some 2D-graphic-bugs which involved the gaming-hud: info-text, driving speed, ammo, health etc. was flickering, depending on the direction I was looking.
Encouraged through this I bought the full version as a low-budget-game in Poland, which is there published nowadays via Cenega and uses Starforce 2 (as far as I know...) Installing trough wine went well, but playing was impossible due copy protection. Cenega never recognized the original dvd.
I used the latest no-cd-patch from gcworld: "Mafia v1.3 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE" to solve the problem. I still have the hud-bugs, but I can live with that...

"Can not read MafiaGame/MafiaSetup.exe from CD 1" problem
by Gabriel on Monday September 14th 2009, 17:08
The solution to the "Can not read MafiaGame/MafiaSetup from CD 1" error is to use the MafiaSetup.exe in the cd's root folder instead of the one at MafiaGame.
Apparently it gets locked and the installer can't read it.
Crashing
by Ric on Thursday September 3rd 2009, 23:27
The game seems to crash for me randomly, so far only during load screens or cut scenes. The whole system comes to a crawl to the point where the Caps Lock LED delays when Caps Lock is toggled. CPU overload perhaps? After a long wait, probably around 10 minutes, the game either resumes or closes itself. This time I ran from a terminal and found the below output after a crash.
I also managed to switch TTY and issue the top command once (Usually the login attempt times out before a password prompt can be provided, due to the processor overload I guess). Top showed game.exe using 50% of my memory - I have 2GB in this thing! Major memory leak???
This game shouldn't be platinum. I remember the occasional crash when I used to play this on Windows some 5-6 years ago, but not nearly as often as this. Something must be going wrong somewhere.
I'm running Wine 1.1.27 on Gentoo GNU/Linux with the following USE flags. "X alsa esd gecko jpeg ncurses opengl png ssl xml -cups (-dbus) (-gnutls) (-hal) -jack -lcms (-ldap) (-nas) -oss -samba (-scanner) -win64 -xcomposite -xinerama".
I use a dual core AMD Athlon64 4600, nVidia GeForce 8200 on board graphics chipset with 256MB memory. XOrg 1.5.3-r6, and nVidia drivers 180.60. With or without a memory leak, this hardware should be able to handle a game this old without many issues. Mafia detects only 64MB graphics memory for some reason, but the game itself is smooth in maxed out settings and shows no sign of graphical errors or glitches. If memory was an issue I'd expect to see untextured objects or slow rendering.
Install from ISO
by Ric on Sunday August 30th 2009, 1:14
Installing Mafia from ISO files seems to cause problems for everyone, we're all victims of the good ol' "Please insert CD 1" message and I've not found any other documented fix for this. It's actually possible though, as I've finally discovered!
1. Create 2 directories, /mnt/Virtual and ~/Wine_Virtual, for example.
2. Mount the first ISO to /mnt/Virtual using "mount Mafia_CD_1.iso -o loop=/dev/loop0".
3. The mount is read-only and we need to add files, so copy and paste the entire tree to ~/Wine_Virtual.
4. Create 2 files. ~/Wine_Virtual/.windows-label and ~/Wine_Virtual/.windows-serial. In .windows-serial type FFFFFFFF, and in windows-label type MAFIA_CD_1.
5. Open winecfg and from the devices tab add a new device, hit advanced and set the device to be a CD drive, then set to auto-detect label and serial (Even though the field states that this isn't possible yet).
6. Launch the installer. "wine ~/Wine_Virtual/MafiaLauncher.exe"
7. Installation should get so far through and ask for CD 2. You probably can't alt+tab out of the installer thanks to it's annoying always-on-top state, so (assuming KDE), hold alt+m and try dragging the parent window. This should trigger the move action and bring up the KDE bar at the bottom. Right click the installers entry and hit minimize.
8. "umount /mnt/Virtual", ignoring any loop error that might pop up. Mount CD 2 the same way as with step 2 and once again copy the content to ~/Wine_Virtual. Replace files if you can, but if this isn't an option I doubt it's required. Edit .windows-label and go back to the installer to continue.
9. When the installer asks for CD 3, repeat step 8.
10. Bingo, Mafia is installed from ISO :-).
Hope this helps some people out. I've only just figured this process out and since it seems I have a corrupt ISO for CD 3 and mkisofs isn't playing nice, this is as far as I've gotten. Still, I'm pretty sure I'm the first to have made it this far with ISO files so woo for me :D.
Cannot Install
by Sébastien Grenier on Monday August 3rd 2009, 15:50
Hi,
I'm on wine 1.1.26 and I use winetricks to install mfc42.dll.
MafiaLauncher.exe work, but when MafiaSetup.exe try to start my screen do a little white blink and after that nothing happen. It's the same if I try to start MafiaSetup.exe directly.
I cannot install it
by Joan Coll Cerdán on Sunday July 12th 2009, 10:56
Tried it with Wine 1.1.25 and I cannot even install it. After copying the mfc42.dll in to the system32 folder, the installer keeps asking for the first CD, even though it is mounted in the drive.
Strange 3d problems
by Blazej on Thursday June 18th 2009, 8:51
I installed the game without any problems. I configured it without any problems (the only thong that made me think was that it sees my video card as NVidia). I run it, it starts, i create a profile all works fine and smooth. But then I see the menu and the 3D objects start too loose their textures and all I can see is the big blue sky. I think to myself ok i don't need the menu so much i start the game. all i can see are the sides of my car, a little piece of land in the lower left corner of the screen and again the great blue sky. Sound, controls, 2D graphics (like speed-o-meter) work great. I just can't see any 3D graphics.
This is what i get from terminal:
wine start.exe
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32e564,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (0,0)-(1280,800)

fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_EvictManagedResources (0x142510) : stub
The funny thing is that my 3D acceleration works great on Linux (Direct Rendering=Yes), (glxgears 4173 frames in 5.0 seconds = 834.505 FPS), Compiz works greatly (I tried turning it off but it made no difference)
I have a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500M as Video Card.
The game turns off after a few minutes with error in console:
fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list snapshot
fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open

Can you play the game without a crack?
by tk on Tuesday April 28th 2009, 12:13
I ask this because the newer test results don't mention that a crack is needed to play the game. If you need a crack then I think it shouldn't be rated PLATINUM.

I didnt have enought space on disc, where I want to install Mafia. I think it is wien bug - wine couldn't write message (not exactly) "You don't have enought space..."
Now I have another problem. I mounted cd image and, when I try to install i get message "Please insert CD 1" I'm sure, I mounted CD 1.
I need help
by Brian on Friday August 15th 2008, 18:14
How do I put mfc42.dll into system32 for Darwine 1.0? I have a Mac OS X, and I tried asking this question in the Wine Forum. They said put it in $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/, but I don't understand how you get that. I don't know if I have $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/. I ran the main installer only, but it seems to not install that file. I have to check. But you gotta help me.

gamepads
by Chris on Saturday December 29th 2007, 15:39
The problem I have is that though Mafia runs brilliantly I cannot start it with a gamepad plugged in.
I have two gamepads which work in Linux but Mafia won't start in wine with one of them (USB) plugged in (wine 0.9.46, 0.9.50, .51, and .52).
Don't want to flood this place with long logs/text but in case they are helpful perhaps someone can point me to a URL where one can paste text-files and make them available as links?

Game freezes at mission 9
by pdw on Saturday December 2nd 2006, 11:36
Just as i posted the report i got to mission 9-02 (2 i think, when i had to drive to a warehouse)
After it does, the loading screen finishes and then the game locks up :/

Kind of works
by Erik Johnsson on Tuesday May 16th 2006, 1:29
Version 0.9.13 is able to run the game, but the sound is weird (it repeats itself sometimes) and most of the HUD is invisible. The invisible HUD is a big problem as this makes it impossible to view the map, how fast you're driving and lots of other things, necessary to play the game with joy.
It would be very nice if these small problems were fixed, as the game is great!
