similar to: Tropico 3 on Mac OS X

Hi! I am trying to run the Tropico 3 Demo on Wine 1.3.18. Everything is displaying fine (buildings, trees, etc.), except the people. The city looks like a ghost city, doors opening and closing but nobody is there. Can somebody help me what can be wrong? I tried different graphics options in the game, and different Direct 3d settings in the registry, but nothing seems to be working. I have a dll

Hey there, I've been trying to get tropico 3 to run on wine. My efforts so far have managed me to get to a point where I can get the main menu to work, but as soon as I load up a map, it dies: Code: john at panther:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Kalypso/Tropico 3$ wine Tropico3.exe fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f18c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:imagehlp:ImageLoad (C:\Program

For mac emulation in Wine, I suggest switching to CXZ. It's based on the Crossover Engine used by codeweavers and generally has better results on the mac platform. I personally ported Tropico 3 to mac a few months ago and placed it on Demonoid (so you might wanna look there) and if you wanna check out other ports for games - I'd look into portingteam.com Good luck!

I've successfully downloaded and run a number of simple Windows programs using Wine. But I've had no success with any programs that require an installer. The installation process seems to work properly, but then when I try to run the app, I get Code: The program <programname.exe> has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I am running on a Mac and the clipboard seems to work in my program on text just fine. The problem is when I copy an image to the clipboard it doesn't seem to copy. If I copy an image to the clipboard then I try to paste it I get what was on the clipboard previously (text). Does wine not support syncing images or files to the clipboard (besides text)? Any workaround to this?

Hey Everyone, I am new to the Mac platform and to Wine. I was wondering if anyone had a basic tutorial on getting DVDFab Platinum working on my Mac? Thanks

Hey guys, I just found out about wine today, and i am extremely paranoid about getting viruses and malware and things of that nature. If i use this program strictly just to play video games is there any chance i could get infected by anything? I just wondered how vulnerable this would make my computer. Thank you

I need to know exactly how Wine tells the X server to change gamma settings... so gamma controls in games can work. Basically I need to know.. when a game has like a gamma adjust bar, and it moves... what specifically happens behind the scenes. I need to know this because right now Xquartz on Mac OS X does not support doing this at all, and I'd like to be able to add that ability into it...

Hello all, I tried to run SH4 1.5 on my Mac (MacOS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard) but it crashes even before the menus can be displayed because of some unimplemented D3DX call (D3DXCreateTextureFromFileExA) in D3DX9_36.dll. I used Wine version 1.2-rc2. According to the AppDB, several persons who ran it on Linux got the menus working. How is it possible that running SH4 on Linux doesn't trigger

Just as a note.. Xquartz is going to have RANDR capabilities in Xquartz 2.6.0, thanks to the work of Jeremy Huddleston and Jan Hauffa. Right now on Macports if you install xorg-server-devel it will be a build with what is currently in of RandR... its still not totally finished, but it would be nice if some Mac Users could test how it works so far with Wine... if we find bugs now, it could help

Hi all, A couple of days ago I decided to give wine on a mac a try caused I got bored of dual booting my mac. I ve been A linux wine user for years and I had some pretty good results with it. I figured that i would have the same results on a mac but i guess I was wrong. I got my version (wine-devel packet wine 1.1.16) from macports. Got winetricks as well. Everything were setup fine and

We have an app (Online Bible) that works under WINE except you have to disable inertial/momentum scrolling on the Mac; otherwise when you scroll in the app's window, scrolling never stops until it reaches the end of all text in the window. Surely others have run into this behavior? Is there a way to disable inertial scrolling within the WINE app window, without having to disable it

Some old apps and games are of pretty low resolution by today's standards, i.e. 640x480. If I run such a program the text and interface are often very very small because of it. Therefore, is there a way to have Wine scale up, for example, a 640x480 virtual desktop to fit my high resolution display? In other words, the program will fill the screen, albeit looking more pixellated.

Hello, I'm having difficulties running WonderKing (http://wonderking.ndoorsgames.com/center/default.asp) on an Intel Mac version 10.5.8 using Wine 1.1.35. I was able to download and install both programs successfully, but when I run WonderKing, I'm able to get to the first screen where you can check to see if you have all the files needed to run the game (I have all of them), change from

Doh123, how is running a program off an NTFS partition asking for trouble? Ntfsprogs seems to handle it just fine. I know that NTFS doesn't let you mark a file as executable, and that the filesystem is susceptible to fragmentation, but you should just be able to tell it to run rather than display and be good. It shouldn't cause destruction. I think there might even be an NTFS defrag tool

Xquartz problems is one reason in Wineskin Engines I have a custom built version of Xquartz... it doesn't use your systems installed X11 or Xquartz version... much like Crossover builds in their own X server as well. As to getting it to work in Wineskin... the NWN wrapper I made that is around comes with directions on how to get the game inside of it... then its just a mac app. Its not

Bah! Okay, so I'm running WINE v1.1.43 on Mac OS X.6.3. Now, I went and bought myself a copy of Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition), but it's got smelly SecuROM in it, which I understand WINE supports? However, whenever I try to run one of the "protected" (from customers) programs it complains that there is no disk. The disk however is there alright, and I have a mapping for

wine has evolved too much in the recent years. and with the evolution new features have come. but unfortunately a program that tries to emulate a vast and complex system as windows are,has come to a point which it has flooded with bugs and "temp code". So the code freeze is a refreshing point which allows the programmers - contributors to polish their code so it can take more

I hope it's ok to ask about Darwine on these forums. I installed Morrowind GOTY on OSX using Darwine and it starts. But I can't set a resolution as the list of resolutions is empty. It recognises an NVIDIA graphics card but no resolutions. Any ideas how to get this working? Thanks
