running Age of Empires 1

Post by Roger »

Hello here!
I'm using wine 0.9.58 on fedora 8.

The problem isn't actually Age of Empires specific. It requires original dvd to run, but wheter the media is in drive or not, the error message is drawn:

Code: Select all

A required security module cannot be activated.
This program cannot be executed (7000).
Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7000 for further, more detailed information.
from where the relevant:

Code: Select all

SecuROM™ has determined that an emulation tool has modified your PC settings.
If you are using a tool which offers the option to hide your virtual drives, please make sure that this feature is disabled so that the default settings are restored. You might need to re-install such tools to get this problem fixed.
How differs the philosophy of optical drive under GNU Linux and Wine from that under MS Windows?

You might want to read this: http://wiki.winehq.org/CopyProtection

Also upgrade Wine - your version is too old already.

Make sure you have access to the cd-rom/dvd-rom device (if you cah read files from mounted cd/dvd does not mean you have access to the device itself (the one under /dev/ ).

I got my game working, although it jags (this is probably because my machine is weak for fedora 8 ). I just installed 1.0-rc3.

But under 1.0-rc3 the F7 in Wine file (for move) doesn't work. How could one access to wine files under Nautilus? I searched on http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/index and http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ .
