Gruntz

What works

• Single-player gameplay
• saving and loading games
• changing the resolution. All available resolutions works: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768
• patching game to 1.01
• background sounds, voices, music
• Battlez

What does not

• mouse pointer may leave glitches on right side menu bar on higher resolutions

Workarounds

Fixing black screen glitch (occurs on higher resolutions):

DirectDraw renderer has to be switched to GDI by setting registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/renderer to "gdi"

Fixing in-game music 

Run timidity in background process before running the game:

timidity -iA -Os -B2,8 &

that makes background music audible again.

No-CD patch

The following patch makes the game not to ask for inserting CD even if CD is mounted:

echo -ne '\x90\x90' | dd bs=1 of=Gruntz.exe seek=126438 conv=notrunc
