Wine and CDROM

[crock]

Wine will let me install games but will not let me run them from the cd.
Keeps saying to insert disc.

Here's my fstab

/dev/hdb5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdb7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=udf:iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0,--,nosuid,ro,nodev,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount fs=ext2:vfat,dev=/dev/fd0,--,nosuid,codepage=850,unhide,nodev,umask=0,iocharse t=iso8859-1 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,ro 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0


and my mtab

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5 / ext3 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part7 /home ext3 rw 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=udf:iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount rw,nosuid,nodev,fs=ext2:vfat,dev=/dev/fd0,--,codepage=850,unhide,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/win_c ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0


ALSO, here's the wine configuration file. (The relevant part)

[Drive A]
"Path" = "/mnt/floppy"
"Type" = "floppy"
"Label" = "Floppy"
"Device" = "/dev/floppy/0"

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/home/crock/.wine/fake_windows"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "/home/crock/.wine/fake_windows"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive D]
"Path" = "/mnt/win_c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "/mnt/win_c"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/mnt/win_c2"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "/mnt/win_c2"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive F]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"




Can ANYONE tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm so stumped...

[Icarus]

It's a copy protection problem, regular wine has problems with it. Your best bet is to get a no-cd crack for the game...bad answer, but the truth

The WineX binaries you can get from http://transgaming.com include the copy protection code so this is not much of an issue...you do need to sign up and buy a 3 month membership ($15 USD)

What is a no-cd crack? How does one find/use/make one?

[deathadder]

A no-cd crack lets you run a game without the cdrom in the drive. There are dozens of places you can find them, just do a search on google for 'no-cd cracks'. I have no problem using them, but then again I only use games I've purchased, and I don't see anything wrong with using a no-cd crack for that game.

[EDIT]
A better choice would be to go to transgaming. There's much better support for games, IMHO. Its well worth the $15.

[Icarus]

deathadder, yeah the link had to go (even though that is my prefered place for them also ;))

Regular Wine does not support the CD Copy Protection used on a lot of games so even though the CD is there Wine can't handle the encryption. Transgaming Cedega (transgaming.com) (paid version) has the alogorithems which are provided by the CD Copy Protection vendors (thus the non-free part) so the games will work properly.

[deathadder]

I thought it probably would do Icarus.

Ocasta if your not going to subscribe to transgaming search google.com and use the first hit.
