To be honest, no. It's not so much an issue of getting it to run on Whine, that part can be done, however to get it to run properly, well, that is a totaly different story... That is why I eventually just abandoned the idea and reverted to virtualisation, instead. To be honest, it doesn't seem to be an issue with wine, it more seems to be an issue with the game running on newer hardware. If you had a very old pc, I suspect it would run just fine on wine.... As soon as it the game has more CPU power, available to it than it knows what to do with, it just goes haywire....

They are both VM's, however the simulated hardware environment would differ, seeing as the virtualization software are being developed by different companies, so I am sure that there might be anomalies like this. But nice to know. Thanks Gruntlord.

To be honest I tried running it in XP, but with no luck, the game would run, but the map scrolling was incredibly fast, and the game would hang and then resume every couple of seconds. It just wouldn't run properly, no matter what I tried.... Ps. to get it to run, without crashing, as soon as you started a mission, in XP, I had to disable "extended" 3D support in directX (dxdiag). Oh, yes, sorry I see I left something out in my initial post. Under the Display settings under Oracle VirtualBox, I set the share memory size to 32MB, I also enabled 3D & 2D Acceleration. I Now edited the original post, and included this, as well.

I Eventually got Dune 2000 to run, properly. No bugs, not to fast, no sound or scrolling anomalies, no hanging every couple of seconds. I Tried it under wine, but it ran too fast, the scrolling was way too fast, even if you switch the scroll speed way down and it hanged every couple of seconds. I Also tried in an Oracle VirtualBox Running XP and Windows 98SE, with the same issues, I Eventually Got Dune 2000 working in openSUSE 12.2 64 bit, under a Oracle VirtualBox, running Windows 95. Here is what you'll need: 1. Windows 95 Install Disk 2. Windows 98SE Install Disk 3. SciTech Display Driver, which can be downloaded from: 4. https://www.dropbox.com/s/226caou8x0jf8vm/scitech-display-doctor-7.iso 5. Dune 2000 Disk Step 1. Setup a VirtualBox with the following settings: Hard Drive 4GB Memory 512MB Enable IO APIC 1CPU Enable PAE/NX No CPU Throttling Sound Set to emulate Sound Blaster 16 Do Not enable: VT-x/AMD-V or Nested Paging Under the Display settings under Oracle VirtualBox, I set the share memory size to 32MB, I also enabled 3D & 2D Acceleration. Step 2. Start the system with the Windows 98SE Disk. (The reason for this is that the 98SE Disk is bootable, but the 95 Disk isn't) Select Boot computer with cd-rom support. go: D: cd WIN98 fdisk create 4GB Primary Partition and set it as active. (It should automatically set it as active) After creating the partition, the system will reboot. Boot with the 98 Disk again & select boot system with cd-rom support. go: d: cd WIN98 format c: /S /S to copy system files Step 3. Insert Windows 95 Disk into CD-Rom. c: md WIN95 d: cd WIN95 copy D:\WIN95\*.* C:\WIN95 /Y c: cd WIN95 setup Step 4. Install Windows 95 Install SciTech Display Driver. (The SciTech Download is an iso, so you can mount it like you would a cd-rom drive. Enable SciTech Display Driver, enable driver only, do not enable any extended features.
