Additional Comments

* The game has issues with transparency. Certain sprites are black where they should be translucent. Refer to screenshots. * The game is a lot slower than it should be. This might be due to bad Video drivers. Test system: Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz (Prescott), 1024 MB DDR 533Mhz RAM, ATi X700 Graphics Card. Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-11-386 #2 Thu Feb 1 19:50:13 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Must set windows version to Win NT 4.0 for this application.

-takes care of "non-existent pagefile error"

Must also use windowed mode

-takes care of lack of rendering of title screen

Install directplay via winetricks, only worked for Patch #2 as of May-10-2011.

See http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames for additional install information.

IPX (Original CD, Patch #2 and 3 see Patch #2 or #3 to use dplay)

-Can recompile kernel with IPX support https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

-Can use ipxtunnel (ports used are UDP 6073, 2302) http://www.linux.org/docs//ldp/howto/IPX-HOWTO-15.html

Note: This has been fixed in recent versions of wine.

Hi I have coded a small program to fix a bug in Wine which causes an error message on launch, by changing a 1 value in the header of the main program executable. To use it, open a terminal and cd to the install directory, so something like:

cd .wine/drive_c/shiny/sacrifice/

wget jeffz.name/code/pe.exe
then to fix your game executable (assuming it is called sacrifice.exe):

wine pe.exe sacrifice.exe
