Little Fighter 2

What works

Everything works after following these instructions:
http://www.lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=10042

In short you need:

• 32-bit wine prefix (for installing wmp9)
• vcrun2005 (all LF2 versions)
  
• wmp9 (LF2 v2.0a bgm)
  
• quartz (LF2 v2.0a bgm)
• devenum (LF2 v2.0a bgm)

If you get error message "Couldn't create art surface", Wine may not know how much memory your
graphics card has. In this case:

• Find how much VRAM do you have (how to)
• On terminal: $ wine regedit.exe
• Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER → Software → Wine → Direct3D → VideoMemorySize and set it to the value of VRAM that your card has. If the "Direct3D" directory does not exist, create it yourself.

Note: VRAM must be equal or above 384MB for LF2 to work.

What does not

• At installation phase, sometimes after clicking 'Next' nothing appears on the window. Just click 'Back' and 'Next' again to fix.
• The 'control settings' screen is a bit buggy, but still works.
• In 'network game', the option 'Waiting for Opponent' works (remember to port forward your router). However, the option 'Connect to Opponent' seems to cause a connection lost after loading the data, in a direct connection (needs more testing). This works however with lf2lobby.

Additional Comments

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D
"VideoMemorySize"="512"­

You might need to change the value, if you don't have 512 megabytes video memory.
