I prefer to run games that require CDs from image files, since it is faster and protects the life of my CDs. In windows, I would just mount the disc image and I could then play. But using Wine and Ubuntu, it appears to work differently. When installing a Windows CD using WINE under Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, how should I go about mounting a disc image so it is seen by games running under WINE as a CD?

Hi, I am trying to run a program (Diablo 2) from an iso image of the disc rather than the disc itself. I used mkisofs to create the image, then I mounted it on /mnt/virtualcd. I can't get Diablo 2 to recognize it, though. First I create a new drive in winecfg, e:, and made that /mnt/virtualcd, but when I ran Diablo 2 it said it couldn't detect the CD. So then I removed e: and changed

Hi all, I have a simple question (I think). I unearthed a copy of Warcraft II: Battle.net edition, and got a surge of nostalgia so I installed it. I have an Intel iMac running Snow Leopard. I was able to install the hybrid disc using Wine Bottler. (I mounted the Windows side of the disc via Terminal.) Now, when I hit "Play Warcraft II" it says that it can't find a file in the disc,

The Sims 2 has four installation discs. I read this in the faq: > If program is on multiple CD-ROM disks you don't want to change into cd-rom's directory or you won't be able to remove disk without stoping the installer. First verify that CD-ROM is mapped to a disk drive in winecfg "Drives" tab (ex D: -> /media/cdrom). Then run installer this way: > > >

Under Winecfg, I set my "E:" (secondary hard drive designation from Windows) to be readable as "H:" by Wine. I already have EADM installed in /media/disk/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EADM (hard disik one). When trying to load from terminal via "Wine" command it just calls up a screen when I tell it to execute "EADM/Core.exe" that complains it needs flash

Hi! First of all, WINE is great! There is only one little inconvenience for me: I am using WINE 1.2 under Ubuntu 11.10. It automatically mounts CDs and DVDs at /media/(disc name). So whenever I insert a new disc, I have to change the configuration of WINE which is a bit annoying. I could not find any help via Google. On ubuntuforum.org I was told to point WINE to the device itself (/dev/sr0)

I am new to Wine and really struggling. I'm trying to get DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter running on my Kubuntu 5.04. My system is current. I have a 2.8Mhz machine with 1Gb memory and lots of space on my 160Gb hard drive. I have a Plextor DVD+-RW and an HP CD-RW. They are /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd respectively. Here is my /fstab file: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file

I have a Toshiba laptop that came with Windows XP and OneNote installed. I then installed Ubuntu Dapper Drake and am dual-booting the system. I want to run OneNote on Ubuntu with WINE. Obviously I could set up WINE to use the dual-booting native DLLs (but I don't know how to do that), and I can't install OneNote directly on Ubuntu with WINE because while I have a legal copy of the full

I have installed Big Game hunter 5 from the CDs that I own. But when I go to play the game it tells me I need to insert CD into CD-rom. Is there a way to make windows recognize your CD-Rom Drive on your mac computer?? If so, How?? Thanks, Ashley W

I have a program, ProShow Producer, that works flawlessly in WINE, but I need to use a DVD burner in it. The program will only export the DVD slideshows to a disc, not an image, so I need to be able to use the burner or somehow fake it and save to an image. Does anyone know how I can either get the burner working or (ideally) fake the burner and create an image instead?? Thanks so much for the

Hello, I've just installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Deluxe (I think it's called 'Platinum' in the US, the version with both addons) on my Kubuntu 8.04 partition with Wine 0.9.59. The installation works fine, but when I try to start the game, the following error message appears: "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup. See www.securom.com/copy for more

I'm trying to get Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne or Reign of Chaos to work in wine version 1.3.35 on Gentoo x86_64 kernel 3.0.6 (oss USE flag is included).

I'm trying to install World of Warcraft on Ubuntu 6.06. I have followed the instructions on AppDB to build the patched version of Wine 0.9.18, and am now trying to install it. I am trying to install from iso files on my hard drive, not CDs. I have created a directory /media/fakecd, and I do "sudo mount -o loop disc1.iso /media/fakecd". I also used winecfg to add e: to the device

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem accessing my optical (CD/DVD) drive under WINE. What I would like to do is access it "directly" through WINE, i.e. whenever I insert a CD or DVD, I'd like WINE to detect it under it's E:\ (or D: or whatever) drive. However, I don't know how to set this up (and even whether it's possible, but I suppose it is). My CD/DVD drive is

Hi, I'm starting with wine. I've been playing with an older version from 2003 and just ugraded to the Wine version : 20050524. I'm using RedHat 9 at the moment. I'm trying to change the resolution and drives in Wine, but for some strange reason, every changes I make in the ~/.wine/config file are not reflecting in wine. I naturally verified if I had any wineserver running in the

From: Mark Jarvis <mark.jarvis at pvmail.maricopa.edu> > HUH? FAT32 problem??? No, it's a geometry issue on legacy BIOS/DOS Disk Labels (Partition Table Format) aka "Basic Disc" in NT5+ (2000+) when both NT and Linux share the disk for booting. Microsoft never standardized how geometry should be handled after NT4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) other than using legacy LBA32 --

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, or has tried this, but I am running WINE under Mac OS 10.5.7 on my MacBook and I'm trying to play the Half Life 2 Demo to see if it's worth purchasing Orange Box. I've installed STEAM and I have no problem running that with WINE, but when I try to play the demo everything stops working. I enter the demo from STEAM, and I

Hi. I'm migrating the system of a friend from Windows to Linux. He used a program made with xBase (programmed by him), and unfortunately isn't compatible with xHarbour.
