what do think about including a link to the appdb entry of the game into your list? make a big fat mark next to it if the game isn't in the appdb or the last test result is horribly outdated/wrong. maybe that will animate people to fill in missing results?


nitpick: GLX -> OpenGL

I think we can manage that. One for missing, one for old and one for "good".
Updated.

1.9.2. OP's updated. The git tutorial still needs work, but you should be able to follow it without too much trouble. The main thing is it compiles the git build of Wine to a particular prefix, set during ./configure, and the helper script to generate the ENV overrides to use git Wine. Before I was just running Wine from the source directory, but with the separate prefixes it makes it easier to play around with different versions, patches and the like. Look it over if you are interested.
I don't know myself. I didn't even try to compile with pulse on my desktop as I don't have pulse installed. It would be nice to have if it's easy enough. It's supposed fix the Pulse underruns that can happen.

Elminage Gothic Installer files: AppDB entry [db:+]

Wine 1.7.55, clean 32-bit prefix, winetricks [d3dx9 quartz devenum wmp9], and run installer normally: wine setup_elminage_gothic_2.0.0.1.exe.
Click through the errors near the end of the install. Game works flawlessly. Don't forget to go to options a raise the volume.
NOTE: OS X needs additional winetricks.

Well, I decided to gamble my $4.99 on it, and the game does indeed work on my system (2013 11.6" MacBook Air, OS X 10.11.3, Wineskin with WINE 1.9.2). I had to use the Native Mac Driver to avoid any mouse focus issues, but apart from that I've found that I didn't need to use any extra tweaks in winetricks.

Edit:

Noctropolis Installer files: Wine 1.9.2 in Wineskin (Wineskin Winery 1.7, Wrapper Version 2.6.2). Run the installer (setup_noctropolis_2.0.0.2.exe) normally. Click through the errors near the end of the install. Game works flawlessly, with no winetricks needed. (NB: Game has only been tested through the beginning intro sequence in the protagonist's bookstore/office.)

AppDB entry: n/a

Nice. Second post updated. Post #79 is the tentative format for a complete entry. Wouldn't bother me if you prettied up post #80. ;) What GPU do you have in that thing anyway?

Just did as you asked. :) My GFX card info is in my expanded post. Thanks for letting me know!

Oh, yes. I'm post #7 in the sub-forum thread. Hmm, guess you didn't mention it in that thread. I forget what the other one was, but I had posted in it also.
Looks great. I was including the file hash as GOG still does silent updates on occasion, but I admit it's larger unnecessary.

Just a side note, I will likely change the AppDB "ratings" except for N/A as that one I actually like.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC Installer files: AppDB entry [db:old]

Wine 1.8, clean 32-bit prefix, run installer normally, click through the error. Do not launch the game yet.
No winetricks needed as movies are broken (updated codecs & playback code) in Wine with the GOG-2 installer. They are also broken for a number of people on Windows. Latest attempt by XSEED, Sara in particular, to get the playback code working for the majority of people. Another patch is expected at some point.
Whatever function in the included Galaxy.dll in the game directory (the game has Galaxy achievements) that's called every time the game is started attempts to connect to a hard-coded IP (seriously GOG a hard-coded IP?) for achievement synchronization. According to Sara this isn't intentional, but who knows how well the functions are documented. I also find this behavior offensive. Given we are running Linux we can just run it in a network namespace (do that) with no net access, block it with a firewall, etc, etc. In this instance I will show you how to neuter the .dll itself. Run Config2.exe once to set resolution & other options, e.g. disable movies. Then it should launch fine via ed6_win2.exe.

As an addendum to this, my experience on Mac OS X needed some extra tweaking. I first needed to install msmxl3 in winetricks before wmp9 would install correctly. I also needed to install xact_jun2010 in winetricks, too. Also, the game works best in Wine 1.7.55 (through Wineskin); in Wine 1.9.2 the game would crash after starting a new game.

if you are running wine from inside the source directory: check 'include/config.h' for whether HAVE_PULSE_PULSEAUDIO_H is defined or undefined
shortcut:
grep PULSEAUDIO include/config.h

if you installed it, check whether winepulse.drv.so exists under {install_prefix}/lib/wine
