Any luck with wine?

[Gandalf_greypilgrim]

I am the starfury maintainer over at the wine appdb, and I have been working trying to get this game to run for a very long time, with very little luck at all. Wine should be sufficient to run it, as it uses direct8, cedega/winex is mostly used for directx9, but also for securerom support. Wine now has its own dx9 implementation, but is useless since starfury is dx8. I've tried about a dozen different wine versions and they all behave similarly, and it is even worse when in cedega/winex. I'm probably going to take a very hard look into debugging the problem over the march break next week, I'll keep you posted.

Edit: In fact, would be neat if a bunch of us met on irc and figured out what was going on. If we can arrange that I'll post on wine-devel and see if we can get some devs to join in.
