Description :
 The Neverhood Chronicles: WineHQ Installation Guidelines ===================================================================== This document describes _a_ way to make the Neverhood adventure game running (?) using wine on Linux. Note that it's not tested too much, yet. Any suggestions, corrections or so are pretty welcome. ===================================================================== 1. Prerequisites ---------------- Working WineHQ installation emulating Win98 with sound configured. I've tested it on alpha version 20050725 built from source, as well as on beta version 0.9.3. ===================================================================== 2. Installation steps --------------------- 1/ copying files to HDD: These files from the game CD should be copied to HDD: data/hd.blb setup/nhc.exe setup/smackw32.dll setup95.exe Copy them to a directory accessible to wine, let's say <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood (where <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES> is full path). If you prefer to run the entire game from HDD (just like I do), copy the game CD content to another directory accessible to wine, let's say <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood/cd_content Note that using the game CD as the data-disk should work, too, but I didn't test it. If you want to use the CD as data disk, you should only have to set "Data Drive" entry in the registry template (see below) to wine CD-ROM drive (let's say "D:") and have your CD-ROM drive accessible in wine on the letter of course. If you succeeded, let me know. 2/ finding-out your PID: Run $ wine <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood/setup95.exe The installation wizard should appear. Just below the funny picture of Klayman you should see your PID in form 12345-678-9012345-67890. Note the PID down and chose "Exit" (the installer failed to install the game, at least for me). 3/ modifying the registry: Add the lines below to your ~/.wine/system.reg, filling your own paths and PID. Supposing your root / is mounted as Z: in wine, it should look like: [Software\\DreamWorks Interactive\\Neverhood] "Data Drive"="Z:<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>\\Neverhood\\cd_content\\" "PID"="<MY_PID>" "Installed Directory"="Z:<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>\\Neverhood" "Run File"="Z:<MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>\\Neverhood\\nhc.exe" "KBPS_OTHER"=dword:ffffffff "KBPS"=dword:ffffffff "Installed"=dword:00000001 Note that you have to change "/" to "\\" in your paths and the path to the CD content... (I hope it's clear.) 4/ running Neverhood: Now you should be able to run Neverhood by $ wine <MY_PATH_TO_GAMES>/Neverhood/nhc.exe If not, try to look at the Troubleshooting section. ===================================================================== Troubleshooting --------------- I've experienced various problems with running Neverhood using wine. Some of them are just annoying, some of them are crucial. If you find better solution, let me know, please. 1/ "it doesn't run at all" problems: Problem: message "CD-ROM not found" appears Status: solved Solution: you have set the paths wrong, check the registry entry again Problem: message "Error Initializing DirectSound" appears Status: solved Solution: I got that message when there were another wine-preloader hanging nonfunctional. Make sure there's no other wine-preloader hanging there. If that doesn't help, check wine sound settings and look at sound problems below, too Problem: message "wine: Unhandled privileged instruction at address ..." appears on the console followed by wine debugger reports Status: solved Solution: It seems that Neverhood can't run when wine is emulating Win2000. Switch wine to emulate Win98 2/ graphics problems: Problem: keyboard does not work if running in full-screen mode Status: workaround Solution: configure wine to run applications in virtual desktop Problem: mouse cursor is duplicated (you can see both your system cursor and the Neverhood clay cursor) Status: workaround Solution: (by churchyard): after you run nhc.exe, try to run it again. A message stating that there's another instance already running should appear. Click on "OK". The virtual desktop should close; double-clicking back to the Neverhood virtual desktop should hide system cursor. 3/ sound problems: Problem: sound is missing constantly Status: solved Solution: setting emulation mode for sound in wine solved that Problem: sound is missing in the intro and (probably all?) animated cut-scenes (maybe a codec missing?) Status: unsolved Solution: |
