Wine problem

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 7 Oct 2005, 11:43

When i try running Elastomania though Wine, following the guide on the moposite after getting the error, still having the error after following the guide, i get an error saying that it can't find 'ELMA.RES', although it's not missing. Any ideas?

There's a topic about this already, try to search for elma in linux.

Even though i did search for it, i could not find the answer to that particulat problem. Could be that i'm half-way blind, that i'm ignorant or simply dumb, anyway...
In case this very question already has been asnwered, would you consider putting a link to it?

Well, after reading and trying, i still have the very same problem.
Could be becouse this problem isn't documentated, since the other problems including wine and elma isn't the same as mine.

Well, just to state the obvious.

- Read the tutorial on the moposite.
or
- Get winex. That program is able to run elma.

Wine won't run elma just automatically, I think it was because of the need of direct3d or something.

Well, in case you did not understand it, reading the moposite was the first thing i did after failing the first time.
Anyway.

The problem isn't that elma isn't working when it starts (like the freeze problem that some have had), the prolem is however, that it can't find the file called "elma.res", but...
If i can't get it working in a few days, i'll take your suggesstion and try winex, thank you.

EDIT: If the other problems that has occured during the start of elma has to do with graphics, then that could be solved with wine (elma doesn't take very much to run), however that still doesn't answer my question.

It will cost money if you get it legal. And you can find it here: http://www.transgaming.com/

I read it as "Whine" first, then like alcohol, then I'm still confused.
