I have a bunch of children's games and other random software that came in cereal boxes :). Obviously 80% of these programs aren't even in the appdb, and half of them don't work for one reason or another. For the symptoms that each show when being run under wine; what can I search for to see if it's a known bug (tm) or has a workaround or if I can just expect them to hit the

Hello everyone, As some of you may know, ET:QW (www.enemyterritory.com) now has a native Linux client with every game feature (except AntiAliasing on some PCs :p) implemented. My question is the following : knowing the WineHQ AppDB says the game is Bronze/Garbage and no recent version was tested under Wine, shall i make a test report in which i write there is a native linux client, and thus it

I know it's a small thing, but it's been bugging the heck out of me for a few years now.... The colors you picked for the AppDB status change are horrible and don't help to communicate information at all. In fact, it actually hinders proper reading of the graph, The issue is that "Platinum", "Silver", and to a lesser extent, "Garbage" are almost the same

Does anyone have Soulbringer http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7605 working? The appdb page says "gold", but it acts the same way as the "garbage" reports, for me. I have wine 1.1.9. mfc42.dll is in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/sytem32 . No dlls are overridden.

Okay guys just did my yearly submit for what i maintain: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3811 Still garbage, can anyone take a look and see if they can find a way to get past the server login screen? It hasn't worked for like 4 years in wine, think it's about time we got to the bottom of it?

After downloading the first two Grand Theft Auto games from the Rockstar Classics website, and installing the first game I received this error: > MGL Fatal Error! > Error 268.473 > Cannot find a suitable display mode. After a bit of searching, I believe that this is a problem with running the game under Wine, and not with my PC. Then, although I probably should have checked first, I

It's marked "garbage" in the appdb, because the installer doesn't run without quite a bit of tweaking. But anyway ... I want to get MSN working in Wine. It's for my girlfriend's daughter, whose XP box just got trashed by a virus/rootkit (spread via MSN, of course). So we've saved her stuff and we're nuking and paving the box. I would like to use Ubuntu instead of

Hi, I'm a newbie. I was looking at the AppDB and I think the voting is a great idea to prioritise what people want and will use. However, I was looking at my favorite game that I want to get fully working on wine - "Company of Heroes (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4506)". I can't understand why there isn't a global voting for this like

Hi all, I've checked the archives and can't find anything regarding the above so here goes: Has anyone had any luck getting GTA2 or other games that require DirectX 6.1 support working under Wine so far? I used to keep a Win95 partition on my machine specifically for this game, but recently my second disk died and I need the space for my Linux installation. Any help appreciated.

Looking at: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10591 What are the steps to install this application? Yes, it's a garbage application, but I'd like to at least give it a go. Looks like msiexec apparently isn't the right approach. Should that be through wcmd instead? thufir at ARRAKIS:~/.wine/drive_c$ thufir at ARRAKIS:~/.wine/drive_c$ msiexec

Hi, This is the first time I've tried WINE. Please see my sig for details of my install. All I'm looking for here is confirmation that I should go ahead and post a "Garbage" vote on the Wine AppDB. Civ3 installs fine from the CD using: Code: DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11/lib:/usr/lib" wine Setup.exe I then run the patch installer with: Code:

I am new to winehq. I want to use it to run a program called Bestcase but it is not working. Do I just have to wait for something to happen to fix it or for someone to care enough about Bestcase to change wine so that it runs Bestcase? Is there something that I can do to possibly make it work? What are the steps required to get this program working under wine? I don't know what the

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for this suggestion but I'd like to get some discussion on the subject. I feel that AppDB does not provide enough information about the particulars of the system and user to be of a lot of value in deciding what works, what doesn't and why. I'd like to suggest that AppDB capture some additional information: 1. User experience: e.g.

I read the list of appDB, the sims 2 should run with fedora 8,how Does it run? Good,or not good? I want to play some games (spore,the sims 2,etc.) with linux which does it run good? (fedora,ubuntu,other)?? thanks sorry for my english

I was browsing apps and looking for games that run in Wine as Gold or better. The issue is that I see many apps listed as gold that require recompiling Wine with patches to get them to work. From my understanding, any application that requires code changes should be listed as garbage and tied to a patch/bug to be able to operate. That and any application that ranks higher should run under a

I have a copy of City Life Deluxe Edition that I would Like to play but I have been windows free for over a year now and I understand the rating is garbage for this game. Are the game reports pretty up to date? I am trying to figure out why the installer is hanging. I am also getting ready to install it from a friends computer and copying the installed folder over to my linux box to see if that

Hi, I'm trying to run a software package called Rosetta Stone (It's a language training package) Anyway this is the closest match in the AppDB http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2497 Though my version is 2.0.8.1N The catch of this software in general is that the CD needs to be in the drive for it to work. I got them to send me a version where this isn't true, but in

When I try to run Sims 2 in Wine it doesn't detect my graphics card correctly. There was no problems during the installation. Picture of the error: [Image: http://merkelig.org/sims2/sims2error.png ] Although in the AppDB people report that the game runs fine except for some graphical glitches and my graphics card should support DirectX 9. I've tried to run it with Wine 1.0 and a Git

Video acceleration is an essential aspect of personal computers now, and it's becoming more important every day. Not only for games, but also for most modern OS interfaces, video decoding and all kinds of applications are depending on it now. So, I think both AppDB and Bugzilla should have 2 aditional dropboxes when reporting test data and bugs : one for the video card manufacturer (Nividia,

I mean this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RySQjPJvcQ Works in Wineskin (a gui for [dar]wine, I suppose), so why is still garbage in wine? Maybe I miss to know something, or it uses modified engine. There, the gameplay seems to be perfect...
