Regression tests on '98 classics

[midmaestro]

Hi, All

I remembered those school days playing these 98 goodies: NASCAR, FIFA and TRIPLE PLAY. There are a lot more to be named of.

I think my strategy is right via regression tests, just lacking of how-tos. Could someone make a nice tutorial for everyone's delight?

I've tested wine-stable 4.10 on Ubuntu 19.10, it's a disappointment to run any FIFA titles now as I knew it. But don't worry, the world is fine, and I do believe wine still fine... just in a way no newbies can ever imagine.

My commitment to the community wouldn't change by that: Make 98 great again!

I propose you to test Final Fantasy VII first original version CDs.
Hard to run on Windows in her time.
The first game from above 1998 need TrueMotion codecs for movies in game. you can have it by standalone package or use ffdshow from winetricks I think.
There is an official Nvidia patch available 1.02 update for his time that make it better compatibility on Windows but not sure on Wine.
The game use Midi soundtracks ---> A long time ago Timidity was used for passthrough for it apparently but I never make it work now.

It's hard to make it run correctly, there are some mods about OpenGL for this version but only available on Windows system. ---> So make it work on Wine correctly can be very nice.

Today's progress, using 3.10-staging:

I suggest it's VMWare SVGA unsupported by WINE? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry, my bad. Forgot that I've just tested KVM few months ago. VMWARE SVGA 3D seems total useless. Gotta switch off to VBox or dual systems maybe?
