Ultra Street Fighter IV

What works

Everything seems fine.

What does not

The installation was a little bit of a pain.

Workarounds

This a more detailed update of this report https://appdb.winehq.org/objec... (which can be safely removed)

The installation was a bit of a pain, as the installation process got stuck few times and
I had to try multiple times before  managing to make it install and run properly.

So here are the steps I did to install the game:

1. Create initial wine configuration. I used WINEARCH=win32 because USFIV needs wmp9 (for
game videos) which is available in winetricks but only for 32 bits

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix wineboot

2. Set windows XP (I haven't tried other windows versions)

WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winecfg

3. Install steam + dependencies required by USFIV

WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks corefonts
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks steam
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks d3dx9_43
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks vcrun2008
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks vcrun2015
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks devenum
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks quartz
WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix winetricks wmp9

4. Install USFIV:

- Run steam (always run wine steam with -no-cef-sandbox otherwise you won't see STORE, COMMUNITY ans user tabs)

- From Steam install USFIV. After the installation do not run the game immediately, exit steam instead (actually it would be better to create a USFIV backup before exiting, in case something goes wrong during the installation, this way you don't need to download the game again)

- Install the packages that comes with the game:

WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix wine "$(WINEPREFIX)/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition/_CommonRedist/vcredist/2010/vcredist_x86.exe"

WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix wine "$(WINEPREFIX)/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition/_CommonRedist/DirectX/Jun2010/DXSETUP.exe"

- start steam again and this time run USFIV, which should run fine

- If the game doesn't start try disinstalling/reinstalling USFIV multiple times until it runs fine

5. Fix the joystick, which is recognized as 2 devices

The fight stick was recognized twice: event, and js. The game was using one for player 1, and the second for player 2, which is an issue since it's the same stick. I disabled one of them in the control panel, by running the command below :

WINEPREFIX=path/to/prefix wine control joy.cpl
