I'm trying to get a list of 'gold' apps from the appdb, but it doesn't have a way to search like that, so I filed http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4365
In the meantime, what apps work *really well* with Wine at the moment? Firefox 1.5 seems to be in good shape. I'm looking for apps that will demo well for my talk at SCALE in two
weeks.
Perhaps the top-10 Gold List on the front page of the appdb might help: http://appdb.winehq.org/
If you looking for games, I maintain the AppDB entries for Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3. I've finally rated both gold now that all the critical features of the games work with the current wine releases. And they run stable with only a few steps. They look great.
Although the movies don't play right in Warcraft 3, as there are crashing bugs with quartz, so I've done all that I have done all along: removed the movies folder. Then the game doesn't even use quartz. I don't consider this a critical issue since this recommendation is given to windows users too when the game movies don't work for them. I'll have to try to debug it when I have a day off of school.
In my experience (Breezy Badger 5.10, wine 0.9.5), the movies in Warcraft 3 actually played through without crashing, though it was unbearably slow.
Other games seem to be having similar problems when it comes to playing videos. For example, Half-life 2: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3665
What is it, really, that causes the movies to play so slowly?
Diablo 2 does still run in D3D mode if you hack the gamma function to DD_OK. Everything else there is ok.
