What works

The game seems to start without problems, runs great, etc., as long as you have "Virtual Desktop" enabled in wine. No graphical or audio glitches, music (BGM) plays smoothly.

What does not

Without "Virtual Desktop" enabled, the game is "screened" with a black window, which can be temporarily disabled when you switch between applications in your window manager. Looks like a full-screen issue (maybe graphic card-specific?).

"Data Load" menu causes a crash when you click it with a mouse and try to select a saved game (by moving your mouse pointer without releasing the mouse button) -- bug 31252.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Additional Comments

Unless you have appropriate video codecs installed, you'll be presented a black screen instead of a movie. Skip it with a right mouse button.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
  • To play the opening video, you must have Indeo 4.1 codec installed.
    • Run "regedit" and locate the following registry key (create "drivers32" if it's missing): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
    • add a String key named "vidc.iv41", for its value input "ir41_32.dll"
    • obtain "ir41_32.dll" file (Indeo codec) and copy it into "windows/system32" folder in your wine installation.
  • In-game small video clips require MS RLE video codec (msrle32.dll). You can register it the same way as described above, just name the new String key "vidc.mrle" and enter "msrle32.dll" for its value. However, this doesn't help much... and you will have to go with blank rectangles for now. Or switch off the in-game video clips in the game settings menu.
  • The game is prone to crashes when run under "non-native" locales. Make sure you change your locale to "ja_JP.UTF-8" before running wine. A one-liner "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine pd4.exe" works fine for me.
About the issues
The game seems to have issues with a "true" full-screen in wine, so it should be run with "Virtual Desktop" wine option enabled.
