[Game] Final Fantasy 7 does not work

[Fatal Error]

Hi@all

i have a great problem with mi wine.
i have Xubuntu 6.06 (dapper drake) on my Asus L8400 Notebook.
i cannot post my Sys definitions, cuz i haven't a tool like siw.exe whos runnig under linux.

when i start my ff7, a litle moment after, there appears a error message.

Unable to locate a MIDI-Device. Final Fantasy VII requires a Windows95-compliant MIDI Device.

my console print follow text:

Code: Select all

root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine ff7
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error#

Code: Select all

root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine --version
Wine 0.9.9
root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error#

this wine was in my Synaptics so i think its the actual version for my linux.

are there enough informations for you to help me or is there something i forgot?

this is not a wine bug
if you dont have midi support working on your host OS, how should wine use it ?

You shouldn't be running Wine as root, and your Wine version looks to be extremely old.

so i've done this tutorial (big thx) and now i can play MIDI files (tested with a midi file from www.vgmusic.com).

Code: Select all

root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine ff7
root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error# wine "c:/program files/ff7/ff7config.exe"
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
root@error-laptop:/home/fatal-error#

now i'm hopeless. setting up timidity exactly like the tutorial including this special lib eaw... and it doesn't work.

i think i forgot one stupid little thing but i don't see it.
can it realy be the root whos producing this error?

dont run wine as root!

also try to set sound to OSS in winecfg since the timidy how to said sth about snd-seq-oss
perhaps that helps

also check ff7config if it has a setting for hardware or software synth.

Also upgrade wine to 1.0-rc2. 0.9.9 is ANCIENT.

yeah i know its damned old but my xubuntu cannot install a newer version.
its rly strange i dont know why. i'll try 1.0rc2.
for OSS sound, must i edit anything in the registry or something? cuz i changed sound in winecfg to oss but my wine print alsa not found again.
