NoCD
Wine does not currently work well with copy protection, so this game does not currently run.
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)

o 1.5.8 on linux works but is slower than 1.5.4
o 1.5.4 on linux works great!
o 1.5 on snow leopard (macports) allows game install but the game pops up in a blank window, with sound.
o 1.4 on snow leopard (macports) plays great, but can't play in a window - full screen only regardless of command line switches.
My linux box is a laptop running Ubuntu 11.04. I compile wine from source, thinking it would work better while I was debugging.
My Mac is a macbook pro (January 2011) with the cd-rom supplied development environment.

Craig

100% CPU on BOTH cores (might be normal).
Loading takes WAY too long.
Start-up video fails in full screen.
No sound or music.
Looking into these.
