           Summary: Reading Rabbit Playtime Baby shows black screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.4
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux

256 Color Mode
The install of this game fails when you install inside a 64bit wine bottle. It
shows an error about disk space. This is resolved by installing with a 32bit
wine bottle and using winecfg to switch the windows version to "Windows 98". If
you do this, it allows you to install the game successfully.
After the game is installed and launched, it loads to a black screen. You can
hear audio and click things, but there is nothing to see.
You can get it working a tiny bit in 256 color mode, but it doesn't look right
at all. I attached a screenshot of that.
Instructions to Reproduce:
Set up a 32bit wine bottle and, with winecfg, set the windows version to
"Windows 98".
This game needs to have the disk mounted in linux as a CD-ROM. To do this, I
installed and used cdemu. You can find details about this application here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CDemu . The way I used this tool was by
installing cdemu-daemon & I used kde-cdemu-manager as the gui interface to that
daemon. I then mounted the downloaded .cue file.
After mounting the .cue file, you should see something similar to this in your
mounts:
$ mount | grep sr0
/dev/sr0 on /run/media/bashninja/RRBaby type iso9660
Now you should be able to run the Setup.exe and get through the install without
any issues.
$ WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32_RRB wine D:\Setup.exe
(D:\ should match the path to your mounted CD-ROM)
After the install, you can launch Setup.exe again and you'll be able to launch
the game. You'll hear the music and be able to click, but the screen will be
black. You'll also get a wonderful new desktop icon.
To test 256 color mode, you can follow these instructions after the game has
been installed:
