At the time, this is an alpha build so some problems you experience may come from the application itself rather than crossover. You can read more about releases on the DarkXL website or on the DF21 forums. There you can find out what is working and track the progress of the project.
My System:
OS X: 10.6.2
Crossover Games 8.1.4
Windows XP bottle
DarkXL Alpha 9.01
Running DarkXl
Download DarkXl, unzip it and place the folder in your desired bottle's drive
Download openAl32.dll and install it for your desired bottle. If this is not installed, the application will not launch.
Using a retail version of Dark Forces, copy the main DARK folder into your bottle's drive. It can be placed anywhere, but by default DarkXL will look in C:\ for it. If the location is different, adjust the path accordingly in the DarkXL/DXL_Settings.txt file.
Run the DarkXL.exe
What Works For me
The main DarkXL launch seems to work fine, including the settings panel
Dark Forces launches and you can start a new game
What Does Not Work For Me
(Fixed in u8.2.0) The application crashes when I "Quit to Dos" from within Dark Forces. This is not a major problem.
(Fixed in 8.2.0) Unlike some previous builds, after starting a level, all I get is a black screen. I am guessing this is tied to the "fixme:d3d_surface:surface_load_ds_location (0x) Not supported with fixed up depth stencil", since that seems to happen every time the scene is drawn, but that is only a guess.
The rest of my bugs, most noticeably the Midi music, are tied to the application itself.
