Problems playing games with WINE

By Sebastian Dellit, 12 January, 2018

Hello *,

I want to play different games with WINE. I have installed WINE with this howto:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/101YCVPxYk8pacKmj3TDNvHZ5Gb3Vk8Bj/view?usp=sharing …

I have some problems:

1. The installation of "dotnet462" crashed with an message from the installer.
2. After installation I can play A hero's call but I'm can only using the English SAPI.
3. I have a copy from SWAMP but it can not be running (bad number in block 52 or so on).

My questions:

Is there a way to install a Screenreader (for example NVDA) in WINE?
2. Is there a way to install an other VOICE for SAPI? I want to play a hero's call in German. ;-)
3. What can I do to running SWAMP?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Sebastian

Tips to install WINE

Hello hamiltonthemusi,

at first you must follow the steps wrote by the A Hero's Call team:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/101YCVPxYk8pacKmj3TDNvHZ5Gb3Vk8Bj/view?usp=sharing

One steps is missing there. You must install XQUARTZ to install WINE.

After following the steps you can only extract games for example "A Hero's Call" and run the EXE-file from the finder. Only a German voice is missing at the moment. You can only play games with an own speech (self self voicing) or with an supported SAPI mode.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Sebastian
