What works
Installs as described in the HOWTO. SO that part is fine.
I was only able to run it once. After that, it just won't run again. :(
In winecfg, you may need to set "Emulate virtual desktop" to 640x480 in Graphics. For Audio, you may need to set the Hardware Acceleration to "Emulation" mode. (make sure "Driver Emulation" is UNCHECKED).
It doesn't run when you use the WINE defaults, even with Windows 98 mode. You may need to play around with the settings. ALSA sound does NOT work for me. OSS sound seems to improve things, but still not able to run after the first time.
What does not
If you don't specifically set a virtual desktop resolution, it just doesn't load. You may get something like this...
file_set_error: No medium found
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403f2198)->(0x1002a,00000011)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found! (XRandR)
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403f2198)->(0x1002a,00000011)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found! (XRandR)
The program encountered a problem at address ffffe40e and cannot continue
If on the other hand, you specify the virtual desktop to something like 640x640, you get something like...
file_set_error: No medium found
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x40402160)->(0x1002a,00000011)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found! (desktop)
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x40402160)->(0x1002a,00000011)
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_DDHAL_CreatePalette stub
fixme:ddraw:DIB_DirectDrawSurface_Blt Can't handle DDBLT_WAIT flag right now.
fixme:ddraw:DIB_DirectDrawSurface_Blt Can't handle DDBLT_ASYNC flag right now.
fixme:wave:OSS_AddRingMessage two fast messages in the queue!!!! toget = 4(WINE_WM_RESTARTING), tosave=5(UNKNOWN(0x00000000))
I had to kill the app at this point. You may need to restart X server, if you want to play again.
