Additional Comments
A little slow running at my monitor's native 1280x1024, but it's to be expected. It runs beautifully at 1024x768. I must say, this runs better in Wine than the version of 3000 Unlimited trial that they compiled natively for Linux (granted it was for RedHat 6-7, but still...).

Make sure that your game is running on the correct resolution, otherwise problems may occur.
You can change the resolution pass some parameters to the shortcut of the game.If you have not made a shortcut to the game,create it with any text editor by following the rules bellow.
Supported parameters
-w Starts the game in windowed mode
-r Change the game resolution
How to use?
Open the shortcut file and insert the following:
#/ bin /bash
cd "path to the folder of your game"
(wine SC3.EXE -r1024x768)
The example above starts the game in fullscreen and with resolution 1024x768
Another example:
#/ bin /bash
cd "path to the folder of your game"
(wine SC3.EXE -w -r800x600)
The example above starts the game in window with resolution 800x600.
Supported Resolutions
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
Note: if you uses multicore cpu, read tutorial Fix Multicore Freezing / crashing (below)
Install with: # apt-get install schedtool
Or:
$ wget http://freequaos.host.sk/schedtool/schedtool-1.1.2.tar.bz2 $ tar xf schedtool-1.1.2.tar.bz2 $ cd schedt* $ sudo make install run sc3k by:
$ schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine SC3.EXENOTE: If you use different resolution and multicore, use this model of shortcut:
#/ bin /bash cd "path to the folder of your game" (schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine SC3.EXE -r1024x768)
for more information read the tutorial Resolution (above)

However when I try to start the game I get No CD-ROM error.
I applied a no-cd patch (cracked .exe) And the game runs perfectly on my hardware (Intel GMA 900 - go figure) using DirectDraw.
How do I fix the no-cd error?
BTW, in winecfg, /home/cdrom0 is set as D: and the type is CD-ROM
Thanks in advance
