Simon the Sorcerer Tips

Installation notes - tested on linux/COG 7.2.2

The GOG.com release of this game installs cleanly into it's own bottle,
using the winXP bottle profile. At the end of the installation do not
launch the game -- just exit the installer instead.

This title requires one native fullscreen resolutions - 640x480. If you
have a widescreen or 16:9/10 display type or otherwise cannot use this
fullscreen 4:3 aspect resolution, you will have to run things in windowed
mode (Emulate a virtual desktop) for the game to start/run.

To do this, use cxsetup to configure the bottle, and then use winecfg to configure
wine to run in windowed mode ('Emulate a virtual desktop');


0. Start  cxsetup

1. Highlight the bottle you installed the game into

2. Click on 'Configure' => 'Control Panel' => 'winecfg' -- the Wine Configuration GUI will appear





3. Now click on 'Graphics' tab => tick  'Emulate a virtual desktop'





4. After enabling virtual desktop mode, you will see 'Desktop size' element becomes active => change this to 640 x 480





5. Click on 'Apply' => 'Ok' => 'Ok"
6. Exit  cxsetup
