--- Comment #12 from Cedric cedric.dewijs@eclipso.eu --- I've tried it again, this time I've run the installer from dosdevices\d
$ unzip ~/Downloads/3-D-Ultra-Pinball-Thrillride_Win_EN_ISO-Version.zip $ rm -rf ~/wine-tmp/ $ mkdir ~/wine-tmp $ export WINEPREFIX=~/wine-tmp $ fuseiso -p Thrillride.iso ~/cd $ winecfg add, drive D ok, browse, /home/jose/cd advanced, type: CDROM. Strangely, the fields for Device, Label and Serial are grayed out. $ cd $ cd ~/wine-tmp/dosdevices/d: $ wine Setup.exe Now the installer starts correctly. (it doesn't ask for SIERRA.INF anymore) Accept the defaults. The installer tries to install Indeo software. That fails with the error messages: "uninstallaer sertup failed to initialize", and "An error occured during the move data process: -119, Ir50_32.dll" Then the installer resumes. Deny updates, registering and so on.
It seems the SIERRA.INF problem went away because I now use dosdevices/d to install. (or it was the reboot i did)
Now starting the game while file debugging is on: $ WINEDEBUG=file wine ~/wine-tmp/drive_c/Sierra/Thrillride/Pinball.exe 2>&1 | tee pinball-filedebug.txt Now the game asks to "Please insert the 3D Ultra Pinball Thrillride CD into your CD drive and press OK"
For completeness, i also tried to start the game on the bigger GPU: $ DRI_PRIME=1 WINEDEBUG=file wine ~/wine-tmp/drive_c/Sierra/Thrillride/Pinball.exe 2>&1 | tee pinball-filedebug-dedicated-gpu.txt
This has the same effect, the game still asks for a CD.
