Windows-Frotz doesn't work under Wine properly #28

Closed bodhi-baum closed 7 months ago

bodhi-baum commented 7 months ago

I tested Windows-Frotz here with a Linux Mint maschine and it does install and start ok, as well as the installer.exe as the standalone version.

It's also possible to select a game and load it into W-Frotz but after that you can't type in any commands or letters.

Since it works fine on Windows (and has done back as far as Windows 95) I'm not sure there's anything I can do here, unless someone wants to debug the interpreter under Wine. This sounds more like an issue with Wine's compatibility than a problem in Windows Frotz.

Thinking about this a bit more, I have one idea as to what the problem might be. But I've no way of testing under Wine. If I create a test build would you run it and check the results?

bodhi-baum commented 7 months ago

Sure.

This build shows a dialog when a key is pressed with a game running, containing some (hopefully) useful information. Would you please try this and report what the poop-up dialog contains? Frotz.zip

Hi David, I appologize first of all but have also good news. I had to reinstall my system and installed newest version of wine now, which is 9.0x atm and now everything works fine. But I think your afford will maybe payout in the future. For now I would close this as solved, ok?

bodhi-baum commented 7 months ago

Due to new wine version Windows-Frotz works here now.

Good to hear it's now working, thanks for letting me know.
