adamhm: Indeo Video v5. I've tested with Proton 5.0-3 and Wine 5.0/staging-5.3, tried various winetricks as well as reencoding the videos to something more common, but it always crashes with a DirectX/ddraw error whenever it tries to play video.

Gydion: That's not that old then, but yeah it doesn't sound like a codec problem. I don't see any bugs filed for that issue, and it looks like it's had that error ever since bug 10581 was fixed.
Were you able to fix SWAT 3? Gydion

Are you planning to do a wine wrapper of the brothers in arms series?

JuanVCS: Quick question: is there a way to list available wine versions?
There's no direct way to list Proton builds, but you could check the index file in ~/.cache/winewrap
For Wine builds provided by PlayOnLinux (use -winesource=pol to select) you can find them here:

I wasn't planning to, but I could take a look at them at some point

cartoon49: Check and see. It been having problems with modern hardware but it should work hopefully.

adamhm: I had a very brief look at it earlier, still has problems - it seems to have issues with video playback. I can start the game with -nointro but it crashes any time it tries to play a video.
For the FMV videos, I think I found the reason why according to pcgamingwiki.

Hello! I'm getting an error running your Outlaws script.

sha256sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match
ERROR: Checksum failed for innoextract-1.8-linux.tar.xz !

Any ideas?
Wrapper for Total Annihilation Commander pack.
When running the start.sh I experience the error:

[i]libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
Serial number of failed request: 246
Current serial number in output stream: 245
-> Red 1.000, Green 1.000, Blue 1.000
<- Red 1.000, Green 1.000, Blue 1.000[/i]
Hey, thanks for making these, much appreciated.

I wonder how hard it would be to put them into a personal flatpak repo.
I haven't fully read all discussion here, but is it possible to make one for SimCity 4? I've had some trouble getting it to work on some machines, but it works flawlessly on others, so I figured I'd ask and see if your experience would do better.
Sorry for the delay in replying but I've been unwell for the past couple of weeks or so

Already saw that (PCGW is one of the first places I look). Unfortunately neither re-encoding the videos nor installing the codecs helped.

ScholarlyTurtle: Any ideas?
That error means the checksum for the innoextract archive it downloaded did not match what was expected. I deleted the copy here & re-checked and it works fine, so it's likely that it was just corrupted while downloading at your end & I'd suggest simply trying again.

What are your system specs + distro + what graphics drivers are you using?

Anybody have a workaround?

So, I've switched from Linux Mint to LMDE 4 (Debian 10 based Mint). If anyone else is taking that leap (I highly recommend LMDE 4), here's a quick guide to installing WineHQ packages and miscellaneous dependencies on LMDE 4 ONLY!

dpkg --print-architecture
^--- This will show you if your system supports i386 architecture. If it doesn't then run:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
^--- This will fetch the WineHQ sign key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
^--- This will add the sign key to your keyring
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main"
^--- This will add the WineHQ Debian repository

### IMPORTANT STEPS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL WINEHQ! ###

Download and install both the i386 and amd64 libfaudio0 packages before attempting to upgrade or install a WineHQ package! You can find the .deb packages here:
[url=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10]https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10[/url]/
Make sure you don't already have your distribution's Wine installed / remove it:
sudo apt purge wine*
^--- This will remove any Wine you already have installed!

### IMPORTANT STEPS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL WINEHQ! ###

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
^--- This will refresh your repositories and install WineHQ stable. You can substitute with winehq-staging or winehq-devel, depending on your needs.

## MISC LIBRARIES (almost equivalent to the common-libs metapackage that adamhm provides, but not entirely the same) ### You might not need all of this!

sudo apt install glib-networking:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:i386 gstreamer1.0-x:i386 liba52-0.7.4:i386 libaa1:i386 libavc1394-0:i386 libcairo-gobject2:i386 libcdio18:i386 libdv4:i386 libdvdnav4:i386 libdvdread4:i386 libgudev-1.0-0:i386 libiec61883-0:i386 libmp3lame0:i386 libmpeg2-4:i386 libncurses5:i386 libopencore-amrnb0:i386 libopencore-amrwb0:i386 libproxy1v5:i386 libraw1394-11:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-gfx-1.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libsdl2-net-2.0-0 libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 libshout3:i386 libsidplay1v5:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libtag1v5:i386 libtag1v5-vanilla:i386 libtwolame0:i386 libvpx5:i386 libwavpack1:i386 libx264-155:i386 libxv1:i386

As always, don't blindly follow instructions unless you know what you're doing. No warranty! All this worked great for me and everything works but YMMV and always RTFM!
If anybody have problems installing Wine on Linux Mint, I've found this recipe to work wonders:
https://itsfoss.com/wine-5-release/

(Just replace "stable" with "devel" if you prefer that version)

Please note that the recipe for Linux Mint is a bit further down the page. The top one is for Ubuntu.

Think it's fine to disable the cybermax PPA after Wine has been installed. It's only needed to take care of a pesky dependency.

I have my own tutorial in a text file I update every time they break something, here's how it looks atm, maybe it is of use to someone:

sudo apt remove winehq-stable wine-stable wine1.6 wine-mono wine-geco winetricks
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt update

install faudio from here:
[url=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04]https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04[/url]/

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

This is likely due to the libraries that are now bundled with Proton 5.0 conflicting with libraries provided with newer versions of Ubuntu. You could try using an earlier version of Proton (try the argument: -winever=proton-4.11-13) or pruning the bundled libraries to remove the conflicting one(s).
