Summary: OutputDebugString does not do what it's supposed to do Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ewfewfe@wh4f.org
OutputDebugString seems to be "invisible" to other apps in wine, it just prints a message to the terminal. I saw a mailing list discussion about this problem but I got the impression this wasn't going to be changed anytime soon (because it's "good enough"). Well, it isn't.
As wrong as it may be, some programs rely on parsing other programs debug output, and this breaks down in wine. The specific application I'm having trouble with is FF7Music, some hack that uses debug output to replace the music in Final Fantasy VII.
A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.
