Additional Comments

teh fact that fullscreen does no work is somewhat related to this: fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetAvailableTextureMem (0x16cfd8) : stub, simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB left fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x16c700)->(0x50024,00000013) fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8 err:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Resolution change not successful -- perhaps display has changed? wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000016 at address 0x49d259 (thread 0021), starting debugger...

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

If the game only shows a black screen, try starting it without the CD first (this should only have to be done once).

Needs 32 bit prefix
by Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes on Saturday June 15th 2024, 10:35

You have to run the game in a 32 bit wine prefix with the Windows version set to Windows 98. This can be achieved with winetricks: wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks

Then, open winecfg and set the Windows version to Windows 98, then navigate to Graphics tab and select to always trap the cursor in full screen windows

For me enabling CD audio crashed the game
