About Wine-Staging 1.7.55 and Gallium Nine

• Latest patches from Wine-Staging 1.7.55
• Latest patches from Gallium-Nine
• Two patches for Steam

Having a look in latest paches for Gallium-Nine I noticed that iXit Team took decision to implement "Staging" Tab (winecfg) as it is done through Wine-Staging.

Winecfg: Checkbox for Gallium-Nine added to "Staging" Tab by iXit Team

I took decision to merge both "Original Staging" Tab implemented by wine-staging team and "Staging Tab" for Gallium-Nine implemented by iXit Team. Here is the output

my New Winecfg: Checkbox for Gallium-Nine added to "Original Staging" Tab

• I downloaded wine 1.7.55 sources
• I applied all patches from Wine-Staging 1.7.55
• I updated/applied all latest patches from Gallium-Nine. There was only a few minor updates to do manually. A couple of patches haven't been applied but I updated manually a few files :).

PCSX2 and Visual C++ 2015

As of 08-Nov-2015, all native PCSX2 releases are built using Visual C++ 2015. For the past weeks there was an issue for vcrun015. This issue is now fixed for winetricks over 25-Nov-2015. You just need to be sure to have the latest version of winetricks from git

git clone https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks.git
cd winetricks/src/winetricks

/path/to/your/winetricks -q --force vcrun2015

Steam - Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Update 25-Nov-2015: My patch has just been applied/committed on winetricks repo. If you have the current winetricks repo then you just need to refresh its content

(git update)

Status 21-Nov-2015:I am currently working on PS2 (native version for Windows). I met this error yesterday

"Visual Studio 2015-compiled C++ programs do not run (unimplemented function api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll._initialize_onexit_table)"

As sugested by another viewer I opened a ticket for winetricks to add missing DLLs. Ticket for winetricks is available at https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/575. I added a patch to my ticket to apply to winetricks.

If it is OK then next time I will update my winetricks repo and run

winetricks vcrun2015

I bought this PC (HP Compaq 7900 on ebay this week). Machine was received on Saturday, 18-Sept-2015. I spent all my time this Saturday on getting ReactOS to run on this PC. Its specs are almost the same as the specs I saw on youtube for a Dell Inspiron 530s. So it should work (Or not? Or how to waste your own money? That is the question...).

The first good new was that I was able to install ReactOS. Issue was: no network. So I spent all my Saturday afternoon on finding the right driver. That was pretty a lot of works to do

Finally it works :). I found the right driver for network interface

In the future I plan to use this workstation on ReactOS for reading my mails (through ThunderBird...). I already have my own Linux workstation to test video games on Wine
