Theme Park World

POL_Wine_WaitBefore "$TITLE"
POL_Wine start /unix "$CDROM/Autorun.exe"
I'm a bit surprized that you don't experience issues with this combinaison, start /unix makes the program start synchronously, so the script should continue before the installation is completed (the solutions being either remove start /unix, or use POL_Wine_WaitExit instead of WaitBefore)... Does it really work as-is?

I was hoping someone could test this, since I don't have the game, as I noted before. I'll fix the POL_Wine_WaitBefore, though.

Don't forget translation support for all user-oriented messages

Won't work..crash before loading installer after accessing to CD. According to https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6469 is it necessary to use win2k instead of win98...

Looks like SafeDisk DRM, we do not give help about DRMs
https://www.playonlinux.com/en/terms.html

According to the Wine wiki, SafeDisk is working.... Perhaps I can rewrite the script and someone could test to see if it works.

I don't think it's linked to the DRM.

I don't think it's linked to the DRM. I have the same issue, this complains about an invalid assembly instruction:

Installing "Theme Park World Windows 10 Fix" or "Theme Park World Windows 7 Fix" fixes the issue of the invalid instruction but the game will still not run for me.

I actually managed to make it work. I'm not fluent enough with PlayOnLinux to update the script but maybe someone will know how to do that. Here is what I did:

I actually managed to make it work outside of PlayOnLinux. I'm not fluent enough with PlayOnLinux to update the script but maybe someone will know how to do that. Here is what I did:

 

# Creating a dedicated prefix makes it easier to cleanup everything in case of issue
export WINEPREFIX=/home/lifo2/.wine_tpw 
# Make it match the install directory if that's not where the game is installed when you run the installer.
INSTALLDIR=$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Bullfrog/Theme\ Park\ World/

# I don't have a CD-ROM drive on my laptop so I had to dump an ISO from my old computer. You can skip this step if you can read the CD-ROM directly.
sudo mount -o loop theme_park_world.iso /mnt/cdrom/

# Install, do not run (IMPORTANT: uncheck launch game at the very end)!
wine /mnt/cdrom/Autorun.exe

# Patch to v2.0
wine TPPatchTwoEUROAMER20000324a.exe

# Fix for windows 10
# Remove TP.EXE because in the fix it's tp.exe and linux makes the difference so you'd end-up with 2 files, one of which would break things!
rm $INSTALLDIR/TP.EXE
cd Theme\ Park\ World\ Windows\ 10\ Fix/
cp -r data tp.exe usp11.dll $INSTALLDIR/
regedit tp.reg

# Finally run the game. This MUST be done from the game directory.
cd $INSTALLDIR
wine tp.exe

 

The very confusing thing is that if you run the game before doing the fix for windows 10, you break the game! You then need to do a deep cleanup (uninstall, remove remaining files on the filesystem, remove references in the register) to fix it.
