Madden 2008 won't start in Ubuntu 12.04 / Wine

[macmoby]

I am using Ubuntu12.04 with Wine 1.6. When I try to execute Madden 2008 from wine using the command 'wine mainapp.exe', I get the following error:

Code: Select all

fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetMediaType : faking success
fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0 func=500 method=0)

I am getting frustrated as to how I can make this work. This is the only reason why I had have to go to Windows, so I can play the game.

Would really appreciate if somebody can help me so I don't have to switch back and forth between the boots.

Thank you !

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=6248 is this the program you are talking about.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32588 looks a little like this bug.

Have you tried a WINEARCH=win32 prefix

But the problem I have that log looks cut. Normal ioctl 2d1400 issue causing a program not to work you see spamming of the error.

You don't mention if it a clean prefix you have installed into. Basically been skipping you in the hope more information would turn up or someone would have a clue. Some by the appdb have got it to work somehow. That is of course if I have the right program.

oiaohm - first off, apologies as I couldnt respond back sooner. Thanks for your note ! Please see below for my response.

a. You are correct- the game link that you have provided is the one I am trying to make it work.

b. You are correct. The ioctl 2d1400 error that I pasted was just a single line of the error that I received. It kept repeating the error continuously into to the log.

c. I tried setting the WINEARCH=win32 prefix after you mentioned in the post. After trying to run the program, I got the same error. I am attaching the complete log file output after I tried to execute the program.

macmoby you did not state if this was the installer or after game is installed.

There are notes that the game fails to install from its own cd in the appdb. It appears to work if you copy the contents of the cd off then install from where its copies off to.

Now this could have something todo with a different code path when on a harddrive but not a cdrom. Of course the reports in the appdb are not too solid on this application.
