It would probably be better to avoid doing that. It isn't quite the same as disassembling the native implementation, but in general you want to avoid looking at how the native implementation is implemented rather than how it behaves.

Make XP emulation the default?
by Dan Kegel 21 Mar '08

What would break if we made XP the default windows version in Wine? I've run into several apps that fail to install unless I change that setting lately...

GSoC: reg.exe
by Max99x 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Greetings, I've noticed Wine is participating in GSoC and one of the ideas is an OSS implementation of reg.exe. I'm very interested in working on this project, but looking around the list it seems the stub was posted only a few days ago, and the author is willing to work on it in the future (I believe a patch was added even today). Does that mean the project is no longer free for grabs? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/GSoC%3A-reg.exe-tp16185690p16185690.html Sent from the Wine - Devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

re: developing hints appreciated
by Dan Kegel 20 Mar '08

I think he's a windows developer, comfortable mostly with IDEs like Visual C++. He'd like to build winecfg as a .exe on Wine, test it there, and also try running it on Windows (at least part of it should kinda work there). Here's what I told him: On Ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get install mingw' should install a good compiler. However, it might not be easy to build winecfg with mingw. Ask on wine-devel if you have trouble. See also http://wiki.winehq.org/JohnKlehm http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-December/053069.html If I were you, I'd just use Wine's normal build system on linux and not even try to generate .exe's for now. - Dan

Game Performance and Grafik Cards
by Groeschel, Volker 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi, I have read many valuable information from Detlef, Roderick and Stefan about this topic. Thank you very much for this so far! e.g. http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys and some comments in bugzilla. But it is still very hard for me to tell what I need to do to improve performance. All I have is trial and error. What I'm missing ist some kind of feature list for the different grafic drivers. It would be very helpfull to have more infomation which features are supported and how well supported with the most important drivers and for which cards: - RADEON - AMD Catalyst - Nvidia binary Another thing I'm missing is a guid how I can tell which features my game needs. Then I could bring this information together and find the best match. Like "your games uses xxx and the driver supports yyy, in this case use switch zzz for best results". Is there any chance that we can get this in the Wiki? Once this information is available the application maintainers in the AppDB could start to add recommendations for each game and make it more easy for beginners as well.
