MS Pinball Arcade - Black screen / altered colors in 8bits

[JohnSmith58]

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who has worked on and make live this nice piece of software which is Wine !

My kids and I felt in love of an old pinball game "Microsoft Pinball Arcade", developed for Win95. I have spent hours searching for an optimum execution (Pcem / Qemu / Dospure ...) but Wine execution is the fastest and smoothest, even on an old system.

Problem : I have a black screen in-game out of the box with Wine (32bit / w95/98 mode). I tried 256 color mode with Xephyr/Openbox and now can see the graphics, but colors are very altered. Tried -cc 2 option without benefit. Xnest is a no go.

I'm out of idea... and you ?

Tried under Ubuntu 22.04 / 20.04, Intel graphics.

Unfortunately, this is a bug in Wine:

Thanks for your answer !

So I'll stick to DOSPure under Retroarch for now, one notch below Wine regarding speed and fidelity but that'll do the job.

Wish you a beautiful sunday !
