Eikon 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 Hey, has anyone been able to get Starcraft to work on linux using Wine? I've read a couple of things about it but havn't been able to get it to work. When i run setup, it installs and everything is fine, but then when i go to play it it says it cannot read the cd. I was thinking emulation problem, but i have played it from .iso on a number of windows machines. I heard somewhere that maybe Wine has a problem reading CD's but i have gotten a number of other games to work from the CD. Would it help for me to use an ISO of starcraft than to use the cd? I have tried i with Wine emulating Win95, Win98 and Windows XP. Also when i try to mount the CD using sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhideit says no data foundAny help would be appreciated.
