Random dickings around with Wine

2026-06-09

Almost everything works, so I'll just skip to what doesn't and/or how to get it working:

AshEdit

Run:

	winetricks corefonts

First...

Magenta Player

Run:

	winetricks corefonts

First...

Bobby

You need to install the .NET 6 Runtime with Wine

If you run wine Bobby.exe it'll popup with a link to download .NET 6. Then run wine downloadedfilename to install.

MOMENTUM

Run with DOSBox

Monster RPG 2

Run with -opengl on command line

Crystal Picnic

Run with -opengl on command line

Stax/Stax Vintage

To get MIDI music to work:

	# sudo apt install fluidsynth
	# fluidsynth -a pulseaudio /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2

Now run the game...

Monster RPG 1

This unfortunately is the only one that doesn't work. It starts up but doesn't respond to keyboard input and joystick input crashes it. Fixable: Maybe. Priority: Low.
