--- Comment #21 from trymeout@tutanota.com --- I should inform you this is how I setup the wine prefix for Risk II
-I created a folder named Risk II and I dumped all the files and folders from my Risk II CD into the folder
-I create a new wine prefix and name it Risk II
-I enter these commands in the terminal
export WINEPREFIX="/home/cameron/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/RiskII"
ln -s "/usr/share/Games/Risk II" "/home/cameron/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/RiskII/dosdevices"
-I delete the d: and d:: folder if they exist inside my Risk II/dosdevices directory
-I rename the Risk II simlink in my dosdevices to d:
-I launch the Wine config and go to the Drivers tab and select the D drive and set it to be CD-ROM instead of Autodetect
-In Wine Config I set it to Windows XP since if I do not, the installer will not install the game
-In Wine config I enable virtual desktop, I only do this to easily close the game when it freezes, if I have the game fullscreen and terminate it when it freezes my display resolution gets messed up
-I enter these commands in the terminal
env WINEPREFIX="/home/cameron/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/RiskII" winefile
-I then go to the D:\ drive in the wine explorer and install Risk II
-I then place this RiskII.exe no cd patch into my Risk II directory, without this the game will launch and ask for a CD.
I have done a similar setup on Windows 10 and Windows XP. On Windows I used Virtual CloneDrive to mount a ISO file of the Risk II CD that I created. On Windows XP I install install Virtual CloneDrive, mount the ISO, install Risk II and then copy and paste the no patch exe into the Risk II directory. On Windows 10 the installer does not install the game so what I did was I installed the game on Windows XP and then created a 7zip archive if the Risk II directory on Windows XP and then on Windows 10 I install Virtual CloneDrive, extracted the archive, copy and paste the no patch exe into the Risk II directory.
To run the game on Windows XP or 10 once installed, all I had to do was mount the ISO and then run the RiskII.exe and I had no problems. Battles worked on Windows so I know this is a wine issue and not my installation process.
