Start by watching crashes video again and make sure you didn't miss anything. Make sure your using crashe's wine files. They are different from Salvador's. Double check the kernal file is in correct location, and your accessing pixel desktop from terminal with root privileges. Wine will not work without the new kernel, so it makes sense it you have what error. So seems like your main problem has to do with loading the kernel.

I don't understand what you were trying to show with the vifeo you linked.

@bizzar721
thanks ,
the boot is fixed !
with the kernel in the right folders.
thnks
so me LXDE desktop is ok ?

thanks again .

this is what i get everytime -

@shavecat LXDE and pixel are one in the same as far as I know. I believe it was just a name change. I wish I could help more, but I did more following directions than I did fully knowing WHY those commands worked. I am not too much help in troubleshooting.

Most likely something was missed or typed incorrectly. I had the instructions file open so I could copy and paste commands verbatim. All commands are case sensitive. Don't forget to reboot when needed, and access pixel with root privileges. Make sure it's running outside of emulation station first to limit things that can go wrong. In the end you must change emulators.cfg and add sudo (it's in instructional video) to get it to work properly from ES.

Good luck.

[shavecat]

Really interesting information, thanks a lot :)

@shavecat Your almost there. Did you change the permissions as crash describes? How about making sure that the piablo folder is in the correct location? Since wine starts, I would lean more towards the file location not being correct.

@BiZzAr721
Tried almost anything , even had help.
but didnt workout :
the wine working looks like it .
but its saying Bad exe .

[BiZzAr721]

@shavecat Sorry to hear your still having troubles. I don't know what it could be.

I am curious - what makes this "tick?" Is it the kernel? Some special version of the wine?

Because that technically lets us any pre 2000 windows games in up to 800x600 resolution (probably not 3D games, but still).

Yes, it's the kernel - see https://github.com/AlbrechtL/RPi-QEMU-x86-wine/issues/12. I think any recent wine would work, but for wine to run the kernel has to be recompiled.

[Cybrasty]

Thanks @mitu !
That's good news. Once I get some time I will try running some other games under this kernel & wine to see what else works ok.

Im the only one how is getting this-
'wine: BAD EXE format' ?
