Finally I was able to patch the very outdated Wine 1.6.2 using the latest patch for GalliumNine. I used this version because 1.6.X is the only one I know which able to fix those issues

• white page for the Launcher: We need to install i8 through winetricks and to set wininet to 'builtin,native'
• white page once you want to click on the button 'log in': there is a small patch to apply. I already have this patch

Scalet Blade: Wine 1.6.2 - Gallium Nine vs WineD3D Well Wine 1.6.2 is quite outdated but at least I can get more FPS using GalliumNine!!!. (see video above) I wanted here to apply the latest Gallium Nine patch so I can play this game

Prerequisites

Install the Game on Wine 1.7.X

I installed Scarlet Blade on a clean wine 1.7.X version using this video. So I set up a temporary WINEPREFIX to install the game.

Prerequisites: Install the Game on a temporary WINEPREFIX

Notice: Once the game is installed $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/AeriaGames then I will have to move folder 'Aeriagame' on a new WINEPREFIX for Wine 1.6.2. But first I have to rebuild Wine 1.6.2 with libgutls. Since Wine 1.6.2 has to be rebuilt I have to build libgnutls first

GNUTLS

• I have to build the latest version for gnutls to avoid this error
  The white page to avoid!
• libgnutls provided for Ubuntu 14.10 can not be supported for Wine version 1.6.2
• I wanted to be able to avoid the white page for the installer too

wget ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/gcrypt/gnutls/v3.3/gnutls-3.3.12.tar.xz

xz  -d gnutls-3.3.12.tar.xz
tar xvf gnutls-3.3.12.tar 
cd gnutls-3.3.12

# Delete the target folder if needed to avoid any dependancy
rm -rf /opt/wine/apps/Wine_1.6.2_D3D9/

./configure --prefix=/opt/wine/apps/Wine_1.6.2_D3D9/ --libdir=/opt/wine/apps/Wine_1.6.2_D3D9/lib --with-p11-kit --with-nettle-mini
make -j4
make install

Wine 1.6.2 - GalliumNine

Refer to the table below for sources to download

Notice: Those sources are already patched to work with Scarlet Blade. I applied my other personal patches too

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/wine/apps/Wine_1.6.2_D3D9/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --prefix=/opt/wine/apps/Wine_1.6.2_D3D9/ --with-d3dadapter --with-gnutls=yes 

make -j4

make install

Winetricks and wininet

• winetricks -q msxml3 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9 vcrun2010 ie8 

• Don't forget to set wininet to 'builtin,native' through winecfg
  wininet set to 'builtin,native'

My sources for 3.18.1 are located at /opt/linux-3.18.1. Kernel 3.18.1 is my current kernel. I wanted to upgrade because I read important notes in ChangeLog-3.18.4. This way my kernel will be up-to-date.

• Go to this folder

  cd /opt/linux-3.18.1

• Download incremental patches

  mkdir tmp_patch
  cd tmp_patch/
  wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/incr/patch-3.18.1-2.xz
  wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/incr/patch-3.18.2-3.xz
  wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/incr/patch-3.18.3-4.xz
  

• Decompress these patches

  xz -d patch-3.18.1-2.xz
  xz -d patch-3.18.2-3.xz
  xz -d patch-3.18.3-4.xz

• Apply these patches

  cd ..
  patch -p1 < tmp_patch/patch-3.18.1-2
  patch -p1 < tmp_patch/patch-3.18.2-3
  patch -p1 < tmp_patch/patch-3.18.3-4

• The usual commands to build kernel
  • Nothing to change using command below (I will just click 'Yes' since all my options are already checked)

    make menuconfig

    Notice: Just run make mrproper before command above to keep your kernel folder clean -- if required !--
  • Build everything

    make -j4 bzImage modules

    Notice: If you have a DVD or a film to watch then ....Command above should take a while
  • Install

    make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install
    make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 install
    make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 headers_install

    Notice: INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 is pretty useful. This flag helps to install binaries with a smaller size

Prerequisites

1. Use winetricks to install all dependencies

   winetricks wmp10 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9 xact_jun2010

2. Using google try to find windowsmedia-kb942423-x86-intl.exe. You need this installer to install libraries so Wine can play WMV files -- based on WVC1 --. If you don't install this then you may get a black screen (just after CAPCOM logo while starting the game).Once downloaded

   wine windowsmedia-kb942423-x86-intl.exe

   Notice: installation might hang at the end. [CTRL]+|C] is your friend

Configuration file - config.ini

$WINEPREFIX/user/yourname/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CAPCOM/Resident\ Evil\ -\ biohazard HD\ REMASTER/config.ini

Xbox 360 controller

A quite difficult to get the same mapping as you are supposed to get in the game. So here is mine

• Unload module xpad

  sudo rmmod xpad

• Plug your controler
• Here is my command

  xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver   --buttonmap X=A,A=X --buttonmap lt=lb,lb=lt

  I guess there might be a better mapping

As I did for Dark Souls using AntiMicro a couple years ago I think Antimicro should be a better solution. I will this solution when I have more time

Video 2: Game

Winetricks

winetricks wmp10 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9

• wmp10: Windows Media Player 10 so wmv files can be played
• d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9: to avoid any glitch for benchmark
