I have installed Need for speed underground 2 on wine 1.2 RC 3.
I am running Kubuntu 10.04 on a 64-bit dual core AMD system.
I still get the "Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart
application" message when I start the game. I presume its the copy protection
talking there, right? Wine is pointing to the correct cdrom path and the CD is
mounted when I run the game.

No problems either.

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.21-254-g5bf7622

Media validation works fine.

The installer is a bit picky about working folder (only run directly from CD1
mount point).
You can copy AutoRun.exe and AutoRunGUI.dll off CD1 to another (temp) folder
and run "AutoRun.exe" from there (do 'wine eject' and (auto)mount when it asks
for CD2).

I'd rather close these stupid metabugs ... everyone keeps adding "dupes" and
the list gets longer and longer without actually targeting specific
versions/issues.
Many appdb entries are not properly maintained/tested due to this metabug,
giving false impression.
