Hi all I'm trying to play the game "BOH" (http://www.bohthegame.com/) on OS X using Darwine. I downloaded 1.1.19 and dragged the Darwine folder to /Applications. Then I opened the BOH installer using WineHelper and installed the game. For some reason it put the installed files inside the WineHelper application bundle. When I tried to open the game's executable using WineHelper,

I just tried to install an ancient detective-type RPG ( I am not up with the classifications.) (a) It offered to install DirectX. Since Wine has its own DirectX, I ignored that. (b) The game failed to run because (according to the message box) it couldn't find DirectDraw. This showed as a Fixme in the terminal, while the error message was to do with the display settings - there was no mode

I just installed the old game The Neverhood into WINE, and it won't run. On start up it pops up the following dialogue boxes: DDERR_UNSUPPORTED and Unable to initialize DirectDraw. I have it set to run in Windows 98 (like the how-to from the AppDB), and I've tried it with both Vertex Shader and pixel shader on and off. I installed the DirectX that came with it. I keep getting the same

Sorry, if I miss my question, but I can't find any answer in the web. It SEEMS, that wine CAN run many D3D applications (and even D3D8 and 9), but I can't launch any :( Firstly my system: OS: Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 kernel: 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 19:28:38 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux wine: wine-1.0-rc4 (installed by DEB from winhq repository) GPU: AMD/ATi RadeOn HD3870 512MB GPU

Hello, I have been busy working away at getting Darwine to run on OS X with no luck... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times, but I was continually getting gdi32.dll errors. This guide was tested on OS X Leopard 1.5.6. The following guide is how I set it up. The steps may vary slightly for you. Be sure to read this whole thread before actually trying some of the things listed here,

I tried to run a demo of Hype: The time quest (Windows 95/98, uses directX6 or some glide3 for 3D stuff) to see if it would work. It installed, but comes up with a weird "Cannot find a game using directdraw" error. I uninstalled it and went about my way. While it would be cool to have this run, that is not my main problem. Now, I cannot run Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (also windows 95/98--runs

Hi, For the past 3 months I have been trying to get wine working well, but have hit several obstacles. I am on a Mac 10.5.7, using X11 2.3.3.2 from Xquartz, and using Kroneberg's Darwine builds. The issues: I can't seem to get OpenGL working or DirectX. I sometimes have problems where I launch an exe, and the program runs as if it cannot "see" any other files in the same folder.

Ever since 1.1.27, I've been having problems with what I think is directx. I updated to 1.1.29 (I skipped .28) and I still get the same errors. I've tried using winetricks to install Directx9, but it doesn't do much to alleviate the problem. I've completely deleted my .wine folder and reinstalled 1.1.29 from scratch, but I still get the problem. I have the latest nVidia drivers

Hey all! I have recently installed a windows 98 vm on VmWare workstation in my win7x64 host os. I have downloaded wined3d from: http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/ it says that those are builds for win32 apps, but when the installer runs I see that some syswow64 (which is a 64 bit app folder) is getting created and some dlls into it installed. Does this mean my windows 98 has now 64 bit dlls and that

Hi. I'm an OS X user trying to run a freeware GameMaker game with Wine, and I'm running into some trouble. The game is called Spelunky (available here: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=4017.0 ). Whenever attempt to run it with Wine, I come across a couple of errors: err:dmloader:IDirectMusicLoaderImpl_IDirectMusicLoader_SetObject : could not attach stream to file

I have used Wine for Mac (Darwine 1.01) on my Leopard 10.5.6 for some time. It's generally been running my Windows programs well. But now I have a problem: I install a language dictionary program and it only starts up and runs when (and only when) I right-click on WineHelper icon on Dock and choose Quit, and then again but this time with Force Quit. In other words, the dictionary application

Hello, Core question: How do I tell files with a given suffix to open an .exe app on the Mac so they'll run it via Darwine? I just successfully installed Darwine and then made a desktop alias to the Avaya Voice Mail Player by showing all hidden files in the Finder, using Make Alias, and copying that alias to the desktop. This Avaya windows app plays .lvp audio voicemail files. How can I

If I'm reading http://thisismyinter.net/?p=29 correctly, there is no "current" (post 0.9.53) build for Tiger? Is a newer build available from a different site?

Hi there. I'm trying to turn on DirectX in Wine. (please read whole message, and only after that blamming me). Recently, I've used Gentoo and it's Wine. But after that, I switched to Fedora and start using Fedora's Wine. Some programs load successfully, but not DirectX. As I said before, everything was normal in Gentoo, but not in Fedora. (for both I have amd64 (x86_64) arch).

Hi everyone, I don't if this post belong to wine-devel or the forum so I'm putting it here now and in case I'm wrong I'll post to wine-devel. I try to retrieve Dungeon Keeper 2 resources (meshes, textures, sound etc.) in order to create an hypotetical clone of this game :D. Since I'm not a pro in hacking compression algorithm I didn't try to understand the DKII

Heya guys, I'm currently using some DirectX features to try and play .ogg files and apparently all I'm going to need for .ogg to be supported by DX is a Codec. Would there be an installer available for the Ogg Codec or should I just copy some .dll's into appropriate places and that'd do it (if this is the case, which .dll's need to go where?)? Thanks, Ian --- >8 ---- List

Just completed a fresh install of Darwine 1.0b and Xquartz to fix some application issues and discovered when I downloaded and installed the Windows version of Firefox I get the following series of errors. This is a partial log since the errors just continue as long as Firefox is open until either WineHelper crashes or Firefox crashes. I have manually downloaded Flash from the adobe site, it
