I got a couple of games to work with wine bottler, even managed to
install the sapi package. However I struggled somewhat with getting
installing the VB6 runtimes to work which caused directX 8 games, like
the kitchensinc stuff not to work. Other things like super egg hunt
plus, swamp which used DX7 and a couple of Japanese hsp games like world
of war ran fine. The biggest issue for me is the sound lag, which if I
recall was about half a second. For fast games this is a very long time.
Maybe there's a way to reduce this, but all I managed to find through
web searches refered to reducing alsa buffers in linux but nothing
relating to mac.
As far as accessibility obviously if the app in question has a user
interface, VoiceOver will see just its title. The frontends themselves
work well enough, for wine bottler, which is the one I'm most familiar
with, you have to simulate a mouse click to select winetrix packages to
be included. Other than that the interface is straightforward enough.

Hi all,
I'm missing my Windows audio games, and my MBA lacks the space for a
virtual machine. So, I'm looking into getting some games running
using an app called Wineskin. If anyone is familiar with doing
something like this using any Wine port (Wineskin, Crossover, WinOnx,
etc), can you please reply to this message? I barely know what I'm
doing, though my background is in computers so I should be able to
follow an explanation if I can get one. Mostly, I'm not sure what
packages to enable, and how to give the games speech feedback. I'll
also need to add some custom files and folders (such as maps and
sounds) to the profile of the game I'm currently working with.
Anyway, if anyone has a clue about all this, please do get in touch.
Thanks in advance!
