Sega GT

What works

Played about 1 hour of championship mode, and some Quick Races

What does not

Game uses a CD check, won't run if you just execute the .exe.

Game displays black screen for me unless I enable "virtual desktop" in winecfg.

With default installation, car sounds don't play (though all other sounds and music play properly).

Intro cutscenes don't play.

Workarounds

To get around CD check: if you install the game from disk images (via CDemu or fuseiso or whatever), make sure to go to winecfg -> Drives -> add D:/ drive, pointing to the "Play" CD image mount point. Make sure to select Additional Settings and mark the D:/ drive as "type: CD-ROM".

While you're in winecfg, make sure to enable virtual desktop.

To fix car sounds, install winetricks dmime (I also installed dsynth but I'm not sure if that one was necessary)

You can press spacebar to skip the broken intro videos, but my preferred workaround is to just get rid of the cutscene files. Remove "Activision.avi" and "SegaGT.avi" from the game installation directory.

What was not tested

Did not complete the game, did not do VS mode and some other modes.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

To upscale the resolution:

Install winetricks dxvk, this is necessary for dgVoodoo2 to run.

Install dgVoodoo2, move the DLLs from MS/x86/*.dll to the game's installation folder.

Run winecfg and add the moved dlls to the library overrides list.

Run wine dgVoodooCpl.exe. There you can change the resolution, force fullscreen and change aspect ratio, enable anti-aliasing and texture filtering, etc. The menu textures might look a bit broken with this, but the gameplay will look much better.

To let the game run at 60 FPS, you can try following PCGamingWiki's guide on how to hex edit SegaGT.exe, but for me personally that didn't seem to work.
