I'd like to attempt getting Trackmania Original (from 2005) to run. However the newest "Starforce patch" doesn't entirely remove the DRM code but merely causes the game's launcher to skip it, the driver itself still has to "exist".
Given the game runs on Windows 10 while users delete the Starforce DLLs within C:/Windows I assume it really is just the driver check that by now prevents the game from loading in Wine on Linux.
So yeah, is there a way to both catch what exactly gets installed (e.g. on a Windows XP VM) to then fake the existence of the driver inside a Wine prefix?
