WINE and XP

[governato]

will the game run on WINE or Windows XP (I am not asking if it will be supported, just if some beta tester has tried to port it..)

[Vic]

Windows XP SP3 should be fine.

WINE i dont dare to say.

Yes Ive tried DCB on Linuxmint 17.2 and it doesn't run, neither does Caseblue. The DC engine is .Net based I think, and the necessary versions of .Net wont install or run correctly with Wine.
So once I win the Lottery I'm going to have to fund Vic to get some Linux compatibility. [:D]

[governato]

have you tried installing .NET version 4.5.2? with winetricks?

I havent yet. Ive created a 32bit prefix and tried installing friday night but .net threw an error during install and I got tied up with something else.

It runs ok (bit slow but playable) in an old Pentium IV (from 2002) with 1,5 Gb ram, 256 Mb video card win Win Xp SP2.

Update. Wine 1.7.55 and Wineskin 2.6.2 on Mac OS 10.10.4. Installed .Net 4.5 using winetricks.
Game installed and intro plays. Then I get this error. Any help/suggestions?

I have seen this error before on old XP and Vista systems. There it was fixed by installing framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 or 3.

best wishes,
Vic

Tx Vic, If somebody gives it a go, the forums warn that installing framework 2 or 3 may delete mscoree.ddl, which is required. So better save it somewhere. I have not tried yet though.
