Similar to previous feedback, this game installs fine, but is unable to run due to not finding a required midi device. This is not a surprise in my case as midi devices on my Dell Inspiron 2200 was software based when Windows was installed. Who knows what would be required to get this software to read Linux based midi software.

In addition, I remember having to install some kind of a driver in addition to the game on a PC as there were some bugs in the original release. I don't expect miracles in getting this software to work in CrossOver right now.

I could be wrong here. But I think CrossOver Linux will use whatever Linux devices are available. Then report them back to the Windows application. Problem is, by default most distros do not set up any midi devices. Usually because on modern hardware MIDI is done via the Windows driver and not in the hardware.

You could look into installing and setting up timidity. It is a software based MIDI device for Linux. That may fix your issues.

Note, for anyone else reading this. CrossOver 6 on the Mac does not support MIDI at all. This is something that hopefully will be fixed in 7.0. /me crosses fingers.
