wine users - Mar 2007 - Ultime9 works - or wine more win9x compatible than NT :-)

Hi,

When I was about 17 (4 years ago) I dreamed Ultima9 would run on Wine.
No joke - I really dreamed about it. Maybe the many not very
successful tries with WineX made my brain to rebell even when I slept
;)

I thing with WineX 1.1 or 2.0 it worked but:
- 3d sound was broken.
- Colors were mixed up + some other rendering problems
- I had to hack a bit, because it crashed when it attemped to start
the video-player

Now I tried Ultima9+patch1.19 and it really works.
This is really great especially when taking into account that this
game segfaults at startup when running on NT based systems.
Sadly some graphical artifacts are still there:

I get some messages on the Console (attached at the end) - do they
contain the cause which could lead to the "only black" 2d elements.
Also the trees look somehow wired, they definitivly had a bit more
color under win98 ;)

Thanks a lot to all d3d hackers and for wine in general. How is that great :-)

Thanks a lot, lg Clemens

the attachement is missing (or got lost on the way in the list). also it
is even better to create a bug for that problem
(http://bugs.winehq.org/) or see if there is allready one.
