[nflug] Wine and version

[Dave Andruczyk]

One of the tricks is to make sure the DVD is MOUNTED before running the app
under wine. (I don't even need DVD Decrypter as you can trick the drive with
mplayer into unlocking the keys and staying unlocked (As long as you don't
eject the disc before ripping it)

here's my .wine/config and a listing of ~/.wine/dosdevices:

relevant sections of wine config file for MY setup, adjust to taste for your
system.  NOTE: I have 3 CDrom drives, an internal SCSI CDRW burner, and
internal IDE DVD READER, and an external firewire attached DVD everything (+/-
R/RW/RAM/CDRW etc...)

[Drive D]
"Path" = "/mnt/dvd"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Device" = "/dev/dvd"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/mnt/burner"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrw"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive F]
"Path" = "/mnt/extburner"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom2"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Version]
; Windows version to imitate
(win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win20,win
30,win31)" },
"Windows" = "win2k"
;"Windows" = "nt40"
; DOS version to imitate
;"DOS" = "6.22"

notice the single colon vs double colon syntax for the CD-drives.  The single
colon link points to the devices MOUNTPOINT, the double colon version points to
the device node itself (i.e. what you MOUNT at the above mountpoint.)
