korsam Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hello guys, I have winex3-3.2 installed and it works pretty well, so I installed my Spiderman game from the CD and it all went well. But when I launch the game, I get the error "Please insert the Spiderman cdrom, select OK, and restart the game". It does this with all games that need to run from a CD. It seems winex can't find the cdrom drive. I checked the Transgaming config file with the paths and all, but can't figure out how to tell winex "here's the cdrom drive, damn it!". Can anyone help??? My cdrom drives are: /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd Here's my ~/.transgaming/config file: WINE REGISTRY Version 2 ;; All keys relative to \\Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config ;; ;; MS-DOS drives configuration ;; ;; Each section has the following format: ;; [Drive X] ;; "Path"="xxx" (Unix path for drive root) ;; "Type"="xxx" (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network') ;; "Label"="xxx" (drive label, at most 11 characters) ;; "Serial"="xxx" (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number) ;; "Filesystem"="xxx" (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix') ;; This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain ;; directory structure. ;; Recommended: ;; - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32 ;; - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended) ;; DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib ! ;; "Device"="/dev/xx" (only if you want to allow raw device access) ;; [Drive C] "Path" = "/home/korsam/.transgaming/c_drive" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "Dos Drive" "Filesystem" = "win95" [Drive D] "Path" = "${HOME}" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "My Home" "Filesystem" = "win95" [Drive E] "Path" = "/tmp" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "tmp" "Filesystem" = "win95" [Drive G] "Path" = "/" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "root" "Filesystem" = "win95" [wine] "Windows" = "c:\\windows" "System" = "c:\\windows\\system32\\" "Temp" = "e:\\" "Path" = "c:\\windows\\;c:\\windows\\system32\\" "GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv" ; Wine doesn't pass directory symlinks to Windows programs by default. ; Enabling this may crash some programs that do recursive lookups of a whole ; subdir tree in case of a symlink pointing back to itself. ; ; Note: The WINESHELLLINK Environment variable will override this setting. ; (which is set in the winex startup script) ;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1" "ShellLinker" = "/usr/lib/transgaming_winex3/winex/bin/wineshelllink" # <wineconf> [DllDefaults] "DefaultLoadOrder" = "native, builtin, so" [DllOverrides] "commdlg" = "builtin, native" "comdlg32" = "builtin, native" "oleaut32" = "builtin, native" "ver" = "builtin, native" "version" = "builtin, native" "shell" = "builtin, native" "shell32" = "builtin, native" "shfolder" = "builtin, native" "shlwapi" = "builtin, native" "lzexpand" = "builtin, native" "lz32" = "builtin, native" "comctl32" = "builtin, native" "commctrl" = "builtin, native" "advapi32" = "builtin, native" "crtdll" = "builtin, native" "mpr" = "builtin, native" "winspool.drv" = "builtin, native" "d3d8" = "builtin, native" "d3drm" = "builtin, native" "ddraw" = "builtin, native" "dinput" = "builtin, native" "dinput8" = "builtin, native" "dmusic" = "builtin, native" "dsound" = "builtin, native" "opengl32" = "builtin, native" "msvcrt" = "native, builtin" "rpcrt4" = "native, builtin" "msvideo" = "builtin, native" "msvfw32" = "builtin, native" "mcicda.drv" = "builtin, native" "mciseq.drv" = "builtin, native" "mciwave.drv" = "builtin, native" "mciavi.drv" = "native, builtin" "mcianim.drv" = "native, builtin" "msacm.drv" = "builtin, native" "msacm" = "builtin, native" "msacm32" = "builtin, native" "midimap.drv" = "builtin, native" "wininet" = "builtin, native" [Version] ; Windows version to imitate.

SoulSe Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Firstly, WineX 4 has been released and it is now called Cedega - so the first step is to upgrade to that. If that doesn't work, try disabling supermount: # supermount -i disable And then mount the drive manually. $ mount /mnt/cdrom Are you using the CVS or the Subscriber version of WineX/Cedega?

devries Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 In my wine config I have: [Drive x] "Path" = "/mnt/cdrom" "Type" = "cdrom" "Label" = "/mnt/cdrom" "Filesystem" = "win95" "Device" = "/dev/ide/hostx/bus1/targetx/lunx/cd" edit it for your system. PS doesn't winex come with a config tool? point2play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS doesn't winex come with a config tool? point2play? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WineX is a different animal from WINE, escpecially now with Cedega. Point2play sucks - it's given me some problems, but you can try it. I am quite confident that upgrading or disabling supermount will work. It is also important to establish what version (CVS or subscriber) we are dealing with. Spiderman has a working rating of 4 at Transgaming so it should work. If you're a subscriber you can also checkout the forums and the Spiderman FAQ for help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padma Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Just for the record, I've had better success using Point2Play than with just Cedega (playing Civ3).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korsam Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the input. I did some research and found that the Spiderman game may need a "no-cd" crack for it to work. I'm not sure if this is correct or not. I did try to install a language learning program and it worked from the CD really well...

Padma Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I got the same information on my research for Civ3: 'may need a "no-cd" patch'. But mine works fine with the regular CD, so.... I can't answer for the Spiderman CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
