--- Comment #5 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Peter,
--- quote --- Thanks for the info, I will use a no-cd patch and update appdb. --- quote ---
maybe you misunderstood ... Wine supports most DRM schemes. It should work as long as you start the game with properly mounted original physical media. I tested a game with SafeDisc 4.x DRM some time ago and it worked fine.
If you don't happen to have the physical media for whatever reasons you obviously need no-cd, yes.
Regards
