Scuffham S-gear with wine: any chance?

[JeanK]

Hi!

I have tried to run Scuffham S-Gear (guitar modelling program) with wine 1.2–1.7 with no luck so far. Installation seems to go uneventfully, but it's not possible to start the program. I have tried using Windows XP and Windows 7 settings, no changes or extra settings are made. My OS is Ubuntu Studio 14.04 64-bit. Terminal output with wine 1.7.28, Windows 7 setting:

juhani@studioubuntu:~$ wine "/home/juhani/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Scuffham Amps/S-Gear2/S-Gear2.exe"

It would be nice to be able to use this software for studio work in Linux. I find the sounds very realistic.

Thanks in advance

Known bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37243.

Yes, it's a known bug, I did the bug report, but it was deemed to be not critical. So, it may not be solved soon.

I may not be alone here, Bitwig Studio and Tracktion have made their way to Linux and I know there are many who want to use solely Linux in their music-making, without an awkward plunge to Windows world, only because a plug-in cannot be used on Linux. The need to be able to use Windows-plugins is real, it has been growing and grows over time.

Username Bukka told on Scuffham Forum that he/she was able to run S-gear (with wine and wineasio) on Ubuntu 10.04. Afterwards he/she didn't remember, how he/she did it, only that plain wine was not enough, some sort of extra work was needed.

I'm very grateful, if someone could find the solution. My own skills are very limited, I'm not a code master, my main career was as an abdominal surgeon.

Cheers

The 32 bit version doesn't crash, though it may have other problems. Have you tried that?

[JeanK]

Yes, I have tried 32-bit version, many times, in 32-bit Ubuntu. It managed to go a bit further, but S-Gear crashed when gui was open. The plug-in was not usable in that either, and due to the resource-hungriness of audio studio software today, 64-bit milieau with the possibility to use large RAM is very useful.
