--- Comment #13 from Vanessa Ezekowitz vanessaezekowitz@gmail.com 2010-05-19 18:04:45 --- Recent versions of WINE have had many troubles with this game. Anything over 1.1.25 does one of the following, depending on which version we tried (always with the same build settings, and always displayed on a second X session with an 8bpp "StaticColor" visual):
* Crashes WINE outright at game start * Crashes WINE when you pull the plunger back to launch a ball * Displays a black screen (on the 8bpp visual that is) * Displays the game screen but with garbled colors * Causes the game to exit back to the table select menu when the table is finished, instead of asking for another quarter as usual.
We probably should have made up some kind of version-vs-problem log, but as I recall, 1.1.26 and several versions newer had the problem with the quarter/end-of-table, while 1.1.44 displayed garbled colors.
At any rate, we've masked it back to 1.1.25, which is the highest numbered version we've found that shows none of the above issues; it is the most recent one which is fully usable with this particular game.
That aside, every version higher than that which *did* display a non-black, non-garbled screen still showed the apparent 7bpp depth.
