Howdy Folks, I'm trying to run Cryo's Arthur's Knights under wine. I've managed to install using setup.exe, but when I go to play the game, I get an error message telling me to insert CD #1, even though CD #1 is in the CD-ROM tray and mounted. Any clues as to why I would be getting this message, how to convince the game that the CD is actually in the CD-ROM drive, or how to

So it looks like Wine is doing a good job of emulating Windows. It's so good that I'm having the same problem with old games as I was under WinXP. If I play a game with CD audio tracks, it freezes for a few seconds every time the track changes. Under Windows, I used to apply the IgnoreMCIStop fix from the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit to fix the problem. Does Wine have

ive been using wine for about a month now and ive tried a couple different versions but i cant install or run anything on wine from a CD..i did a work around for it by just copyin the cd to my hard drive and got my game installed, but it comes with 3 play disks and an install disk, and when i try to play it even when the correct play disk is in and copied everywhere on my hard drive the game still

Hi guys, Well, it appears that Origin 8.5 works gold for linux users.

At 99 procent of the install it says that i have to restart I can choose yes or no, don't matter same result installer keeps to be on 99%

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get DoW Soulstorm Running on their Wine. I've looked at several forum lines, and no one seems to have been able to crack it yet. From what i've gathered, the reason it wont work is because of the cd check. If i were able to crack the game so it didnt check for the cd, would it work then? I'm very new to Linux, so please post any replies with a

I need to set it to 1680x1050, however i cannot set this in game. What to do? 2. the game seems to run a littly chopily. Is there anything i should enable in wine to make it better ? And if so where?

Greetings. I am running wine on Kubuntu (KDE Ubuntu- same thing) Dapper Drake and I'v successfully installed 2 Windows 98 programs. They run fine until they give me a message saying that they can't find the CD to run off of, and tell me to insert it. This means I can't run the games, because they can only run off the CD. I've tried detecting the CD drive, and it's already

Hi there, there are many issues in wine and you can work around most of them somehow but there are few that you can not bypass. Copy Protection: wine seems to support a few copy protection systems, but not all. No of course you could say that a nocd crack should be used to work around that issue, but what if there is none available? Many games are done for different countries in different

So, I installed Halo PC on WINE in ubuntu according to the instructions on this site, and it gives me a please insert disc error. I can't find a NoCD crack for 1.08, there's one for 1.07 that solves my problem but I can only play campaign (yes, I have a legit CD Key, I bought it when it first came out). When I try to play multiplayer it says there's an update, but even when I update it

Hello, I'm a newb with wine and not terribly bright with linux. I am trying to get some of the kids' games to work in Xubuntu. I got wine installed, and it seems I got the hot wheels game installed, after finding that I needed to run everything as sudo. Now when I run the program in the windows window I see a low-res video of a cd-rom being inserted into a disk drive, presumably

Does anyone know how to get around copyright protection? I'm using SUSE (Version 10) and I'm trying to run several CD's (games) that use copyright protection.

Hi. I've downloaded the original Red Alert Command & Conquer from the company's website -- they're being very generous and giving the old game away for free, presumably to try to drum up sales for the new RA game (which does look very good). The download consists of two ISOs; one for the Allied missions and one for the Soviets, which I've burnt to disc, and the game plays

I have both isos mounted, but all games refuse to install unless it's a one CD/DVD game. Upon asking me for disk 2 there is nothing I can do to get it to recognize that the second disk is in fact mounted. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a number of games which have multiple install CD's which I have in ISO format (Need for Speed: Underground 2, Sim City: Deluxe and a few others). When I attempt to install the game I use the following command to Mount the game CD: mount '/home/user/gamefolder/gameimage.iso' /mnt/iso1/ -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 This mounts the Game Image to /mnt/iso and from there I

Hi, I want to run classic games like Age Of Empires through wine without a CD on my netbook. Is there any hope? Am I right in my researching, there is no tool like daemon on linux (mount such that games are happy)? Sorry for being stupid, thanks

Wing Commnader Prophecy (multiple CD's) install doesn't give any problem (due to its small pop-up format window) and the game plays well until I come to the next CD. Game grabs full screen 800x600 svga. Pop-up window for second CD appears, but I can not switch with <Alt><Tab> to desktop. What did I already try? Read lots of items on this forum :D

For years I kept Windows beside Linux only to play games, but I'm getting tired of it and want to use Linux for everything. I'm not really a hard-core gamer, but like having something around to play when I feel like it, mostly older games. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck with Wine until now. :( Ok, I know that most game copy protections are not compatible with Wine for now
