How can i bypass my bug?

[Warren Dumortier]

Hi!

Some time ago i fille din a bug report because a game (The Sims : Pet
Stories) couldn't lanch, after some mails the problem was that Wine doesn't
gave vertex shaders, is there anything i can do to have this game running on
my linux box?

The bug has been reported as duplicate, but her's the correct one:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8051

Is there any way t have the game running (vertex sharders emulation
running?), by adding dlls maybe, installing DirectX and disable some dlls?
Anything? Thanks, kind regards!

Easy buy a simple videocard with vertex shader support we offer it on any card equal or better to a geforcefx / radeon 9500.

This game *needs* SW emulation - 2048 D3D vertex shader constants. A geforce 8 
might do the job though

I don't understand, it is a wine bug, not a hardware problem?
I have a geforce 7600GT and knows it works, but don't have windows anymore...

Correct, it is a Wine bug. A Geforce 8 might work around it though
