reported to work previously, in the test result
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=4050,
with wine 0.9.24 under Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy".
I'm running Debian lenny which has wine-0.9.44.
Now I'm enough of a newbie with wine that I presume I'm using wine
improperly (but not sure) and don't know whether this is the best place
to ask for help. Please advise.
(a) what should I try?
(b) where should I ask for help, if not here?
(c) which of these apparent messages are ignorable?
When I try to ruin this classic game, at best, it gets stuck after the
title animation.
METHOD 1:
The above test result says this doesn't work as of 0.9.24. It doesn't
work for me either, with 0.9.44.
using the command
wine "c:\\Program Files\\Truelove\\T_LOVE95.EXE"
results in a message box labelled "T_LOVE95" containing the message
"Register information is not correct, please reinstall".
Also, in the shell window I get the messages
hendrik@lovesong:~$ wine "c:\\Program Files\\Truelove\\T_LOVE95.EXE"
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin c:\Program Files\Truelove\T_LOVE95.EXE ...

fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on MPU-401 UART,

Wine exited with a successful status
hendrik@lovesong:~$
Are these ALSA complaints normal?
METHOD 2
The test result reported that T_LOVE95.EXE works from a windows shell,
specifically litestep. I use what I have available here, which is
winefile.
I try running it from winefile. I no longer get the message box.
Instead, the program opens a window. I get a fade-in to a title page,
then an introductory animation, after which the screen goes blank and the
window stops refreshing itself. (If I drag another window over it, pieces
of that other window remain in the dead window.)
In the meantime, the shell window from which I launch winefile shows:
hendrik@lovesong:~$ wine "c:\\Program Files\\Truelove\\T_LOVE95.EXE"
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin c:\Program Files\Truelove\T_LOVE95.EXE ...

fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on MPU-401 UART,
disabling mixer
I can't close the game's window by clicking on the X in the corner. I can
close the winefile windows, but the only way to get my shell prompt back
is with control-C.
