Outlaws in Wine
I have made an effort in getting the classic LucasArts game Outlaws working in Wine with music, which is essential due to its excellent soundtrack. This is a similar to my other effort with M.I.A., except this time the music playback mechanism is more advanced. I had to make additional hacks to the Wine "mcicda" library to make it pause and resume in the middle of tracks.
Here is a rough guide for the commands required for installation. Also, when the installation asks about DirectX 3.0A, just skip this.
mkdir -p ~/opt/outlaws
mkdir ~/opt/outlaws/cd1 # Then copy files from CD1 into here.
mkdir ~/opt/outlaws/cd2 # Then copy files from CD2 into here.
echo "OUTLAWS_1" > ~/opt/outlaws/cd1/.windows-label
echo "OUTLAWS_2" > ~/opt/outlaws/cd2/.windows-label
ln -s "cd1" ~/opt/outlaws/drive_d
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/opt/outlaws winecfg # D: = "drive_d" = CD-ROM
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/opt/outlaws wine ~/opt/outlaws/drive_d/SETUP.EXE
I had to enable the "Virtual Desktop" setting with "winecfg" for certain stuff like menus to work. I also just configured my X windows resolution to 800x600 before playing the game.
To make the music playback work, a lot of additional steps are required. First the patched "mcicda.dll", which can be downloaded here. This should placed at "~/opt/outlaws/drive_c/windows/system32/mcicda.dll"
Here is the patched code in case you want to compile it yourself, using the Wine 4.0.2 source code as a basis:

To make music playback work as painlessly as possible, I have once again made a script to start the game:
#!/bin/sh
export WINEPREFIX=~/opt/outlaws
MPLAYER_FIFO=/tmp/mplayer.fifo
TOC_FILE=/tmp/toc.txt
MPLAYER_PID_FILE=/tmp/mplayer.pid
function mplayer_stop {
if [ -f "$MPLAYER_PID_FILE" ]; then
kill `cat "$MPLAYER_PID_FILE"`
rm -f "$MPLAYER_PID_FILE"
fi
rm -f "$MPLAYER_FIFO"
}
function mplayer_start {
if [ ! -p "$MPLAYER_FIFO" ]; then
mkfifo "$MPLAYER_FIFO"
fi
cd "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_d"
mplayer -vo null -idle -slave -input file=$MPLAYER_FIFO 1&>/dev/null &
echo "$!" > "$MPLAYER_PID_FILE"
cd -
}
CD_NO="0"
while [ "$CD_NO" != "1" ] && [ "$CD_NO" != "2" ]; do
read -p "CD number? [1 or 2] " CD_NO
done
MODE="0"
while [ "$MODE" != "g" ] && [ "$MODE" != "c" ]; do
read -p "Start [g]ame or [c]hange CD only? " MODE
done
mplayer_stop
rm -f "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_d"
ln -s "cd$CD_NO" "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_d"
cp "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_d/toc.txt" "$TOC_FILE"
mplayer_start
if [ "$MODE" == "c" ]; then
# If only changing CD, exit now.
exit 0
fi
(cd "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files/LucasArts/Outlaws" && WINEARCH=win32 wine OLWIN.EXE)
mplayer_stop
rm -f "$TOC_FILE"
The same script is also used to change the CD while the game is running, as this is required in some instances.
The CD audio tracks should be ripped to FLAC format and be placed as track02.flac to track08.flac in "~/opt/outlaws/cd1/" for CD1, followed by track02.flac to track09.flac in "~/opt/outlaws/cd2/" for CD2. In addition, you will need a couple of "Table of Contents" files for each CD. These will inform the patched "mcicda.dll" file about the length of each track.
