I'm trying to play Runaway - The Dream of the Turtle under Wine. The game is listed as platinum in the AppDB, so I didn't expect a lot of problems. However, when I try to run it I get this in terminal and nothing else happens: Code: fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx 0x1110e0 0 fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x111700, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x33a13c) using GetSystemInfo() fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x33f750) using GetSystemInfo() fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x113e58, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x113e58, 5, 0, 0, (nil) fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateMdl stub: 0x111700, 5, 0, 0, (nil) I'm running Wine 1.0 on Kubuntu 8.04 x86_64
That game uses SecuROM 7.29.0009 copy protection, which doesn't work in Wine. The person who rated it platinum probably used a no-cd patch.

Request either a native Linux port or a Wine-compatible version of the software.
