After spending a couple of hours in order to make a Windows Game Cd-rom working, I succeeded my goal.
I have the original disc of the XPLOSIV 2003 Windows collection of "Bubble Bobble + Rainbow Islands" https://www.retrogames.co.uk/031173/Oth ... by-Xplosiv
I know that using mame version of these two games is easier, but my personal challenge was to make this cd to work under wine
This is a SafeDisc v3 protected CD-ROM, and in order to play I need to insert physical disc, and that's ok, at least for now.
Because of the SafeDisc problem, in order to make all things work, I tried SEVERAL tricks read in this forum and all over the net (copying secdrv.sys, removing secdrv.sys, starting windows service, stopping service, winetricks, wine config, dll, no-cd cracks, reboot system, installing windows utilities which maybe are simple viruses etc..).
Now I have a VERY DIRTY wine environment, but the game searches for the physical cd and it works
I dont' like to have a dirty environment, so I renamed .wine folder into .wine_old, and tried to recreate by scratch a clean .wine environment, by reproducing gradually all the needed steps..but I cannot reach the goal, the game doesn't work, even if the physical cd is inserted, the error is always the good old:
Code: Select all
014c:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\\Registry\\Machine\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\SecDrv": c0000142
And a CLEAN environment not working (.wine)
I'm using wine-7.0
The question is:
Is there a way to understand the differences (registry, wine config, dll,files etc..) between my two environments, in order to reproduce gradually a clean .wine windows env working?
Thank you
