To most, the title alone explains the question I am asking in this thread. If this is not you, leave immediately.:)


So, will W&G be compatible?

It was stated before it will be. Will it be able to run in the Sam an Max/Bone bottle?

It was?

I don't actually know if it's compatible, but you can find out Monday when the demo's released...

I think you misread me then. I'm pretty sure that at the time you asked if it would use DirectX 9, and I said it did.

DX9 and below works with crossover. Did I just waste $26?

The demo works perfectly in wine 1.1.17 :-)

I chose "no" when the installer asked to look for DirectX. The launcher worked but the game wouldn't start because the wine version of d3dx9_36.dll was missing some functions.
So I just googled the dll, downloaded it from dll-files.com and put it in the Wallace and Gromits Grand Adventures/Demo folder :-)

Have fun!

Try the demo and see if it works. If it doesn't, we can refund your money.

IIRC Strong Bad had some trouble with Crossover, which is why I'm not sure about Wallace & Gromit.

I tried it in crossover and it doesn't work there, but using PlayOnLinux and installing the game in the same bottle as Strong Bad, it worked flawlessly (so far).

We have a Linux with Wine, so I'll try that tonight. And I didn't know Strong Bad worked with Wine! If I did, I may have gotten it for PC, and gotten Rid of my Wii. Too bad Brawl prevents me.

Bottle for Strong Bad? Tell me more.

All righty then:

I installed http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ and used the "install" button. There you can look for "Strong Bad" and you'll see episode one and two there. I installed episode two, but maybe episode one works too, I just haven't tested it. After sb is installed, I used install again but chose "Install a .pol package or an unsupported application". If you choose "manual installation", you'll have the option to "Edit an application already installed". Select the "strongbad-102" prefix, select "No" when asked to configure the prefix and then choose the w&g installer in the next screen. It should be fairly obvious from there on.

Note: you could probably just edit the strongbad pol-script instead of installing sb, but I'm too lazy for that...
Note 2: If you use pulseaudio (e.g. in newer ubuntu dists), you should use padsp of pasuspender (there are guides out there on the internets)

The demo works in CrossOver Games on Mac OS X. That's not where I intend to play the real games, but I just had to try with the demo.

DarthBo, do you have gamepads working with wine 1.1.17?

Thank you.

Instructions? Oh wait, this isn't intel.

Wallace & Gromit run beautifully on Crossover Games for Mac after installing the included version of DirectX using the directions found here. (http://forum.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/microsoft/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributable-on-linux-with-wine.html)
