After following the no-cd trick, I still had the problem with absolutely black menus, and no mouse cursor visible (though it was possible to click on things). I solved it by changing from 16bit resolution to 32bit resolution. Since menus were unusable, instead of changing it in-game, I used a hex editor to edit Config.dat file in "Syberia Saves" folder. At the offset 10 there is a single byte which is intially 0x10. That byte should be changed to 0x20.

I hope it helps someone

I have a double pack from eu-adventureshop.gamesplanet.com, was cheaper :)

I had to use the crack, install MVCP60 and finally dsound to get any sound at all (there was a small glitch at the start of the logo video). But now there's no sound in the videos. Then I tried installing directx9, as someone had for syberia2. Now the sounds are as before installing dsound: Only glitches at the start of videos and no ingame sounds (including the start menu). I'd be satisfied if I oculd view the videos separately, but VLC didn't recognize the format of the .syb files.

Will try reinstalling in a new prefix.

I just had to change DirectSound hardware acceleration to emulation, the I got all the sounds working (in addition to the crack and MSVCP60). Yay! Seems like Nearly Platinum quality ;)

After you launch Syberia and get the black screen, run wine taskmgr and double click on Syberia to switch to it. The game will now display, no cracks needed (in fact, those didn't work for me).

Still needs a virtual desktop though, at least on OS X (using XQuartz)

Ugh, a word of caution though. There's no autosave in this game, and it just crashed on me after 3 h playing.

Weird it worked. Running this on Ubuntu 10.04 and wine 1.3.10. The task manager thing does work. At least it got me as far as the no-cd crack brought me. Still having problems with the black menus though, but I'm beginning to think that might be my graphics.

The crashes are not wine's fault though. I've been having crashing problems on my windows pc as well which says that it's the programs fault and not wine's.

I'm running 1.3.9 and I'm having the exact problem that the registry key hack is supposed to fix. However, in both my reinstall the key either didn't exist or was already set to disabled.

In terminal the following error keeps getting repeated over and over and over again.

fixme:d3d:context_check_fbo_status Location SFLAG_INTEXTURE (0x40).

I assume it has something to do with how direct 3d has changed in later versions. I'm not sure how to fix it, but doesn't look like it should be that hard to fix. Using Ubuntu 10.04.

I used the no-cd crack to solve the black screen problem, but the menu is messed up (where there is supposedly be text like "New Game" etc, there is only black), I can hit the buttons and start the game, but there is no mouse pointer and it's generally unresponsive to clicks or anything. (Intro video works though)

Ubuntu 10.04, Dell Latitude D610 (with Intel 915GM)

After setting "UseGLSL" to "disabled" it plays fine, even full screen without virtual desktop

I'm having the exact same problem, except I didn't have to change that key, it was already set to disabled which confused me.

I was quite disappointed that my freshly purchased game is not working in Wine. There are so many test results here that rated the game Gold. One of the comments mentioned this black screen issue and that it may be related to some copy-protection.
I was sceptical: I bought the game from GoG, they always offer their games without DRM.
However, THERE IS a no-cd patch that can be applied to the GoG version: look for the Collector's Edition of the game on GCW. With that "patch" the game is playable.
If I had known that before I submitted my test result, the rating wouldn't be Garbage.

Same here! With the Collector's Edition noCD crack, the game works more or less perfectly. I had some trouble with sound (once or twice, it just went away...) but on the whole: YAY! It works!

Should still not be more than Silver though, a NoCD is a pretty bad requirement to get something to work...

The demo can be used instead of nocd to achieve the same result. One can use www.clubic.com/lancer-le-telechargement-2472-0-demo-jouable-1.html demo. I found the link in description of 21796 bug. The recipe is the same. To copy SyberiaDemo.exe into Game.exe and Dlls\Syberia.dll into Dlls\Syberia.dll. I am not sure about video files but I copied them with new names also.

Sad, but it seems that demo is works only till the end of the demo scenario.
