Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works
* Installation; be sure to run winecfg beforehand and autodetect and configure your CD-ROM drives (click on each drive individually once detected, select advanced and make sure CD-ROM is chosen for your CD-ROM drives in the advanced settings within winecfg for the CDROM drives listing because they're listed as hard drives by default, and if you don't configure these properly you will receive constant errors like I did when I tried to install Dune 2000 from CD. The errors stopped and installation was flawless once I configured my CDROM drives correctly in winecfg.

* Starting the game manually from the command line via "~/.wine/drive_c/Westwood/Dune2000$ wine DUNE2000.EXE" without quotes

* In-game menus

* Configuration options in menus

* In-game animated videos (cutscenes)

* Playing the game; music and sound effects function as they should, likewise for everything else

* Saving current progress (save game)

* Uninstalling the game via "wine uninstaller" without quotes

* Uninstalling the Westwood internet related compontents via "wine uninstaller" without quotes


What does not
~ N/A; Everything that I tested worked flawlessly!


What was not tested
- Multiplayer; I wasn't interested in testing it
- Gameplay as other races aside from Harkonnen
- Gameplay after Mission 4 with Harkonnen; I got bored I've beaten this game several times already
in the past
- Loading a saved game; as I played in one sitting


Additional Comments

+ It is great to be able to play this in WINE! When I tried this game on the WindowsXP Operating System it failed to work with new NVidia drivers but on Linux with WINE it works just fine!

Garbled Audio
by Terence Hui on Monday September 10th 2012, 17:38
Everything works fine. Occasionally, however, the audio cuts out (easily fixed by reloading ALSA drivers) and the audio is sometimes garbled.

Something having to do with how fast my cpu is I think. I've encountered similar things in older games before.

Not sure what to do as of yet. Rebooting seems the only option to reset everything. Have to find that process that keeps hanging up the sound.

This problem also happens under Windows, the fix is to turn vsync on. But it does not help with wine.

Unable to locate necessary files. Please run Setup.exe from the CD-ROM disc.

This is a short guide for anyone who is having issues installing Dune. This is specifically for users receiving the message

"Unable to locate necessary files. Please run Setup.exe from the CD-ROM disc."

Now any other issues I can't help with. I'm going to assume in this tutorial that you have a basic understanding with terminal.

I'm assuming you have an ISO for this guide.

Lets start:

$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=1000 (path_to_DUNEISO.iso) /mnt/disk
$ cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
$ ln -s /mnt/disk d:
$ ln -s (Path_to_DUNE.ISO) d::
$ winecfg

Under the Tab "Drives" make sure D: matches the following information:
(Click Show Advanced"

Path: /mnt/disk
Type: CD-ROM
Device: (Is the path to the ISO)
Label: Should say something like DUNE2000.
Serial: Should have random characters.

As long as Label/Serial have something written you should be good. I don't know what to do for a CD-ROM, as my D630 has a secondary battery instead of a CD-ROM.

Tested on Wine 1.4rc5 Ubuntu 10.04
