Tiberian Sun - can't find CD

Post by Time4Tea »

Hi, I am trying to install Tiberian Sun and play it in Wine. I am using Parabola (Arch Linux variant) and Wine Staging version 6.14. I have downloaded the .iso files for the free version that is legally available here.

I have managed to install the game from the CD ok; however, when I try to start it, it cannot find the CD. I have tried quite a few things but nothing seems to work. I have tried loop-mounting the .iso file and mapping D: to it in Wine. I have also tried burning the .iso file to a physical CD, but that also seems not to work. If I run:

Code: Select all

wine start "D:/autorun.exe"
then the autorun CD menu appears, so Wine is clearly finding the CD; however, when I try to start the game, it tells me to insert the correct CD and then quits. I get the following messages in the terminal:

Code: Select all

Looking at the game in the AppDB, it seems to generally have gold/platinum ratings for most tests. Does anyone have any ideas of other things I can try?
