Problem with Linux

[haifetz]

whether it is the ability to run on ubuntu DSJ 4 or Chromebook?

You can try to run it on Ubuntu with Wine but it is buggy (it runs but I'd say it's almost unplayable):

I tried. But when I run the black screen appears and stands.

Which Wine version and what settings (in winecfg/registry)?
Other than that it's very hard to debug somebody else's Wine issues. You could post some logs of course, but I probably still wouldn't be able to help...

Anyway, I'm not sure if installing DSJ4 on Wine is even worth the trouble. As I said it's really difficult to play and the bugged graphics are very annoying.

[haifetz]

The latest version of wine (default setting), who installed the terminal (sudo apt-get install wine).
Possible, should install directx, what do you think?
I am looking for solutions from 2 days abortively :/

Ok, so I'm guessing Wine 1.6.2? Or the development version (1.7.35)? You can check using 'wine --version'.

Do not try to install DirectX in Wine, instead use winetricks d3x9 to get just the dll overrides. I'm not even sure if that is necessary for DSJ4.

Did you run setup.exe (in DSJ directory) after installing? It is needed to configure the graphics settings.
If you did not already try it: try running Wine in a virtual desktop (winecfg setting).

I have wine 1.4. I tried everything what you have written, you still have any ideas?

[MJumper]

Hmm, not really . It always worked for me quite easily.

The only problem I've had was DSJ4's "clock error" which appeared before I ran winetricks directmusic, but if you're not even seeing that I'm clueless. Did you look at the wine logs, maybe there could be some useful info there (but I doubt it)?
The last thing I can suggest is to try and change some of the registry keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D (usually OffscreenRenderingMode and DirectDrawRenderer are the most important), see here: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys.

I have not tried the newest version of DSJ4 on Wine (I think), maybe it no longer works.
If possible, try a different version of Wine, or try the same on another computer.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

I have resolved this problem, but now I have a problem with the FFP vertex blending on the latest version 1.6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5jWNK98KUU

Does someone fix this bug ?

. Can't help. I wasnt Linux.

This Wine bug has been known since December 2006 (see here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6955). At this rate, I expect it will probably not be fixed in the next 8 years either... if indeed ever. It only affects some old 3D games (and DSJ), so Wine developers do not see it as a priority. A year or two ago I was hopeful as there seemed to be some progress but then that stopped and the bug is still there.

There are no known workarounds to make it work either (none of the patches for that bug have ever worked, and wine settings have no impact on the bug). It might look different on dfferent GPUs (at least on my Mac it doesn't look quite like in that video). The only way I was able to "fix" this was to buy a windows computer. Sorry .
