Yahoo Games 3 – Wine 0

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

I decided to try and do some of the things my 11 year old sister does with her windows PC under wine. The first thing I did, was grab a few random shareware and demo games off of Yahoo games and download.com.

1) Snoodoku – Installed properly, but did not run at all. I filled bug report 4852 about this issue.

2) Lemonade Tycoon installed but would not run. No errors. I run it and nothing happens. Diner Dash, Family Feud, and a few others did the same. I haven’t created app entries or filed bug reports yet on these issues as I’d like to try and get more info on what the problem is.

VLC 0.8.4 under Wine 0.9.9

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

VLC installs and runs under wine, but is useless otherwise. It will play audio but not video. Fast-forwarding and rewinding mp3s does not function at all.

Several bugs already exist and there is entry in the application database.

I have reported bug 4851 and confirmed bug4609
