I can understand *you* guys in the US not mentioning them because of that moronic DMCA law (or whatever it's called) which prevents you from even talking about means to circumvent equally moronic copyprotection mechanisms, even if they're just used for getting legal games to run. So it's nigh-on impossible not to mention those in a lot of cases. As said, a whole bucketload - a very large percentage - of pc games working on CrossOver *depends* on no-cd patches. I sidelined all of this for the next crossover release you could try a nightly build IĪrtist Formally Known as Dot Posted: Note: " Please refrain from the mention of DRM circumvention, such as 'no-cd patches'."
I did check if that patch would apply in CXG-10.x. The current crossover release(s) are based on wine-1.3.9 + crossover patches. Quite some time, there was just something goofy with the code that stopped it working in that is, joystick support for OSX in wine has been there for Someone finding something else related to the issue, and the patch submitted actually gets wrt joystick in OSX, I chased that bug over on winehq, and the generated noise led to a
Really nothing in error here (apart from the fact I should update my medal rankings =). in any event, pretty much all linux medals are gold, and mac medals are silver, so there's Winebugs, because either nothing can be done, or, digital download versions exist (that work).

Those ranking are against the digital download version, not 'last century's old fashionedĭisc media'.

if you look at the medal ranking breakdown, you'll see that *I* was the last person Release of this title, and I'd wager $10 the gamersgate release works properly as well. with this title, the gog version installs and runs 'as expected', as does the Steam and blablabla this info is 15years old more or less. that is, everyone in linux pretty much knows windows disc based DRM doesn'tĪlways work, and in the Mac case most all of them don't work (due to Apple's scsi driverĭesign). The fact the DVD release doesn't work, is 'par for theĬourse'. The digital download versions (which pretty much work 'out of the box') and rank thatĮxperience 'gold', it's gold.
