How did you got it running and what problems do you have with it? I'm also trying to make the game run on my system, but no luck 'till now...

Well, i read on winehq that it works fine (or even better than with cedega) with wine, I haven't tryed it yet. Also I found that it works better with a nocd patch, wich I can't find anywhere (this is what a wine developer said, so don't blame me). It you can help me with that patch, please send me a pm, thx.

So, i've managed to get it started... in a way. The problem was the lack of 2 dll files: msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll. After copying them from dll-files.com, the game starts, but i can't see anything else than a black screen (no splash screen or anything else). I've waited for five minutes, but nothing happened. I've also tried both version of cedega: cedega-4.1.1 and cedega-4.2-1, but no result! Any idea?
PS: I'm using a NoCd-patch.

How much does it take to start the game?!
