How to read a cd under wine

Post by newbie »

I installed a windows game but it runs with cd. How do I make wine read the cd? although I searched the internet, I couldn't find a clear solution that I can understand. Any help or link would be much appreciated :)

system-mac os x 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz intel core i3

Not a very clear question. If you already installed it from the CD, then you know how Wine sees the CD.

If your getting some error that the game cannot see the CD and needs it inserted, it may be some type of copy protection checking for the original disc. OS X doesn't have direct CD access with Wine, so most people find a no-cd hack for their games.

Yeah :oops: I should have added, that's the problem then. I have cracked it on my windows so I'll just copy all files into program files in the wrapper, I think it will work.

thank you
