wine users - Jul 2006 - Configuring Wine

Hello all,
I have just sign up to this list. I need to set a few things in Wine, but since
I am visually impaired I cant use the graphical interface. I know that the
config file has been disabled, but is there some other way of enabling the sound
card emulation?
I also want to change the operating system emulation as well.
Many thanks,
Christian

The graphical configuration interface just makes changes in the Wine 
registry files. You can edit the registry files by hand, if you want to 
go that route. Make backup copies of them first ;)

To change operating system emulation for a particular application, add 
an entry to ~/.wine/user.reg like:

[Software\\Wine\\AppDefaults\\myst.exe] 1152292768
"Version"="win98"

I am not sure what "sound card emulation" is, but I am guessing it is 
the DirectSound "Driver Emulation"? If so, there should already be an 
entry in your user.reg like:
[Software\\Wine\\DirectSound] 1152294462
"EmulDriver"="N"
"HardwareAcceleration"="Full"

You can just edit that.
