Wine Isn't Working Please Help

[Scientin]

I'm trying to use wine to play some old PC games on my mac. I successfully installed wine, XQuartz, and the games. However, upon booting up said games and clicking play, I get the error message "Please insert the correct CD ROM." I have checked the wine wiki to make sure the games work with wine, and they were tested to work. I'm running XQuartz 2.7.11 and Wine Stable 3.0.1. I have tried removing and reinserting the CD, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the games. Nothing has worked so far. Please help!

Oh sorry, I thought I had typed it but I must have skipped it. It's the Harry Potter video games for PC (1-3 and Quidditch World Cup).

I followed the recommendations on that page, and it still isn't working. I think part of the problem is that none of the game files seem to be on my desktop (there's no HP.exe file to replace). It's possible that while installing the game I installed it to the wrong file. Is there a specific file I should install to?

Sorry I can't help you with that, just reinstall the game from the original media then follow what the appdb said to do.
