What works

Version 1.0.0.6

Almost everything works. Game runs smoothly if properly configured. (See below.)


What does not

There are no screen transitions: The screen simply freezes for a moment and then displays the next game area.

The text is squished to one side. (But is still readable.)

Using OSS driver, the "Hardware Acceleration" option must be set to "Emulation". (Using winecfg)

Regardless of settings, while using the ALSA driver, the music and sound is very choppy.


Workarounds

What was not tested

Jack/NAS drivers.

Additional Comments

When hardware acceleration is set to "emulation", Wine still prints out errors involving the sound. (DSOUND_MixInBuffer length not a multiple of block size / DSOUND_MixOne underrun on sound buffer / DSOUND_MixInBuffer Mixpos past buflen) However, the errors do not cause the game to lag as they do when hardware acceleration is set to full, standard, or basic.
