Ubuntu: How to play PC Bin/Cue files?

[jimtiimber]

I went into the PC folder and wine setup.exe. It went through the same process, asked where i wanted to save it, i chose C:/sports interactive/blahhhhhh and it checked my pc has enough space, then go to start installing packages (with the time bar) it brings up the error message at this point.

I'm sure the game i 'found' was original once. I'm quite sure the bin is not corrupt, i used the same version fromt he same source that i used on XP. Is there a way to check a files 'corruptedness'?

Am appreciating your suppprt!

[unknown_error]

hmm the only way to check if its okay... is using the md5sum hash ... but it would be useless if you dont know the original one.

so if its a torrent ^^ give it a forced check


so can you give me an output of whats into that pc folder?
there must be an file linux cant process... or something on some reason? ^^

[jimtiimber]

mmm, i was unsure about the copy considering all the beep'ing around with it i did at the beginning, so, i'm 5 mins aways from a fresh sharing of the the game from a good source.

UPDATE

Nope, not working either. It does exactly the same process as the other copy. To answer your earlier q, what is in the bin file is:

CRACK: (fm2005.exe file)
Mac: (fm2005.dmg file)
PC: (4x.ini files,4x.mst files, data1.cab, fm2oo5.bmp,fm2005.msi, instmsia.exe, instmsiw.exe, setup.exe, setup.ini,
Other files in fm folder: 00001.tmp, autorun.exe, autorun.inf, drvmgt.dll, secdrv.sys.

[unknown_error]

hmm thats an stupid error... we really should get around it


im not sure if this works...
but try
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/virtual-drives$ sudo chmod -R u+w 1

if it gives no error then try to install the game again!

if it gives any error try the following:
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/virtual-drives$ cp -r 1 /home/jamie/.wine/drive_c/fm2005
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/virtual-drives$ cd /home/jamie/.wine/drive_c/fm2005
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/fm2005$ chmod 777 PC

and now try to start the installation from that directory
(/home/jamie/.wine/drive_c/fm2005/PC)

i think it is only an permission problem ... so this should get as a part ahaed

[jimtiimber]

this didnt work:

"
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/virtual-drives$ sudo chmod -R u+w 1
chmod: cannot access `1': Permission denied
"
I did the other commands also, heres what went on:

"
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/virtual-drives$ sudo chmod -R u+w 1

When i go to browse C: in wine, i can see the files are all there. They all have padlocks on, and if i right click and change permissions to full, it automatically changes them back. I also tried to run the PC setup.exe as above, same result.

Booooooooo

[unknown_error]

jamie@jamie-laptop:~$ cd /home/jamie/.wine/drive_c
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c$ chmod 777 fm2005
jamie@jamie-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/fm2005$ wine autorun.exe

so this is last try for that permission thing...
after that the whole cd would be accessable and if its still not working...
and the same error occurs...
i think im going to run out of ideas?!

but just give it a chance ^^

[jimtiimber]

sadly no, not working still
