What works Everything, as far as I can tell, at least in single-player. I've played several games as the Ferengi and have played all the way through without issues-except the usual issues that BotF had in Windows anyway. In fact, when set up right, it seems to run a little better in Wine than it did natively in Windows-in that, when the game crashes, it doesn't mess with your Desktop, and you don't have to restart Windows, just Wine (i.e., you just reopen BotF without rebooting). What does not Nothing I've found yet Workarounds What was not tested Multiplayer Hardware tested Graphics:. GPU:. Driver: Additional Comments In Wine, as in XP and newer versions of Windows, the 1.02 patch doesn't install properly-you have to manually unpack and apply it.

I ran setup.exe from there (rather than from the CD) to install the game. Then I used my ready-made patch mentioned above to update it to 1.02.
Then I renamed trek.exe and replaced it with a No-CD executable. One trick I found was that I had to change my color depth from 24-bit to 16-bit. At 24-bit, the game would crash if music was enabled.
