Hi,
Since submitting a test for a game or a application must be done for a unmodified version of wine, I open this topic hoping it could be useful for NVIDIA users.

Hi,
you can still create an appdb entry, even if you need/prefer patched wine. If the game doesn't run with unpatched wine, rate the game as garbage, then add your description of how to patch wine in a comment below.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion but I don't feel like creating an appdb entry.
My original understanding was that "creating an appdb entry was a bit more usefull for any wine version (patched or unpatched"
But since I've been informed of system rating for unpatched wine version....I don't really approve this system. This is my fault! Got to read Wine documentation
No troll here for Wine/AppDB system...I just wanted to share my own feeling.
But thanks for your suggestion.

The idea behind appdb is that average users should be able to look up how well a certain app or game will work with unpatched wine. Not every user will be able or willing to patch wine. On the other hand a lot of appdb entries have the typical "How to make it work" sections, ranging from simple winetricks commands to compiling/patching wine.
If you still dislike that approach, please consider contributing to playonlinux, they do exactly what you want, they try to build some kind of 'database' containing a lot of app/game-specific hacks.
