Linux / Wine compatability

[l_mcgregoruk]

At first I thought it sounded like it might be a window focus issue, but when you said you removed the linux joystick drivers then install jstest-gtk I was wondering if it's an evdev issue. If the version of Wine you're using uses SDL as an input method.

See SDL notes here
https://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk

And according to the jstest-gtk screenshot here
http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/jstest- ... -0_1_0.png
Remapping the buttons in jstest-gtk applies the changes directly to the Kernel driver(usually evdev now) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev

But then again if that were the case, input shouldn't of worked in the 4DO configure input screen either, not just the main window.

hey guys. has anyone tried using Wine lately to run 4DO? I'm trying to run the latest 4DO (1.3.2.3) under the latest Wine (1.7.9). it works until I try to load the BIOS, where it crashes and has the following output:

I managed to get this up and running on playonlinux without any issues

Steps used:
Open PlayonLinux
Click on "Install a Program"
Choose "Install non-listed Program"
Create the virtual drive however name you want. Click next
Checkmark the box "Install some libraries". Click next
checkmark the boxes Install in directx9 and dotnet4.0. You can also choose the options like directsound,
directinput, and all d3d options if not sure.
Let the libraries install.
When prompted, Browse for the 4do installer (DO NOT USE THE ZIP FOLDER!)
Follow the installation prompts for the 4do installer (uncheck the box "launch 4do after installation" for now)
Let it finish installing.
Create a shortut. or else run it straight from playonlinux.

When you run it, browse for your 3do bios (you can paste them into the 4do folder)- click 4do in the playonlinux list and select open the directory in the side menu to get the path if needed (the path will open up in firefox by default. You can use Ctrl+H to unhide the .playonlinux folder or open up the Playonlinux's virtual drives and find your 4do install (mine is home/taz/Playonlinux's virtual drives/4do/drive_c/Program Files/4do). If you want to use a different folder , then you can browse for that folder when choosing the bios.
Input for gamepad works fine. I have a logitech dual action installed and it configured just fine.
The only issue is a bit of sound lagginess, might need to play with the sound buffer a bit.
