There's only one thing I'd care to see work on Wine: the Magic Schoolbus educational series.

Wine future

Did you try it already?
  • Just run: wine setup.exe
  • If the installer does not work, install in Windows and copy over the directory from C:\Program Files.
  • Then run: wine game_executable_name.exe
I notice the app is not listed at appdb.winehq.org so if you try it, it would help others if you used the "Submit Application" link on that page to tell people if it works or not.

There may be more tips you need to know, such as installing native DLLs or making other changes using the winecfg tool. Ask on Freenode channel #winehq or on the mailing list where they'll be glad to help you. They can also tell you if you should file a bug report or not.

And I'm sure patches are welcome. :-)

With your help, Wine can be made better for everyone.
