GTA San Andreas crashes upon execution

[HopelessCaseBasket]

Well, after following a ton of instructions and replacing the executable with a CD-crack version as well as going through the DirectX 9.0 install, I have hit another wall upon my quest to getting San Andreas to work under WINE.

For some reason, it'll open up the emulated desktop enviroment for a few seconds and then close without any errors or FU or nothing.

I even tried the debugger in hopes that I could copy any information that would help me as I have no clue how WINE works internally.

This is the output of the debugger if it'll help,

I dunno if it's because it's not running the right executable, being the CD-crack was named in all caps or if I should maybe run it through a virus scanner, even if gamecopyworld.com is trusted. I think it's a misconfiguration on my end or even maybe a driver :/ Any sort of help would be appreciated and I already tried google'ing some of the error code I posted with very little results.

Thanks

Cracked executables are not supported, and discussing illegal activities is against forum rules. POL is also not supported, and the Wine version you are using is old.

Nothing in the AppDB suggests this game needs a crack to work in Wine, nor does the howto mention installing dx9. If you want help here, reinstall your legal copy to a clean wineprefix using the latest development release of plain Wine.

Ah, so my Wine version is outdated ?

I didn't mean like a cracked version with a cracked serial, but an executable that was modified to run without a CDROM drive. I still had the legitimate DLL's but was running a modified exe that allowed me to run the game without the "Please insert disk into CDROM" dialogue box popping up.

It's my bad anyways as I Google'd my problem and lost track of where I got resources, I didn't mean to infringe on the forum rules :/

Is there a better way to get pass the "Insert disk into CDROM" dialogue box after installing the legal copy of the game in WINE ?
