Running Knytt Stories on Wine (Linux)

I'm trying to run Knytt Stories on my Linux Laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705) on Fedora 13.

I receive the error:

"Cannot load DirectoryPacker.mfx. This object might need an external program or library not yet installed."

Since I use MMF, the extension .mfx means a MMF extension.

I was wondering how everyone else running Linux got KS to work.

I am trying to do this with the zip version of KS.

Thanks!

Ah, i had the same probable, it seems everyone with WINE does. It actually means you need to get a fixed .dll for your fake programs folder, but i forget which one sorry

Its msvcp60.dll, place it in wines system32 folder. I had the same problem.

Thanks Whistler, got it going. I knew it had to be put in system32, just couldn't figure out what it was.

Hey no problem. But you might want to know newer games like Saira and Finck won't run at all.

Nah that's fine with me. The only one I really wanted to play was KS, I can save FiNCK and Saira for my desktop.

oh, its the opposite for me. I have one computer that only has Linux.

Saira and FiNCK run for me, albeit with some graphical problems, which happen to render Saira just a tad bit unplayable (FiNCK is perfectly playable, though).

How did you get FiNCK to run?

I can't recall if I even did anything special for it.  What problems are you having?

FiNCK should work with the same DLL.  The editor, on the other hand...

It gave me a black screen but I had sound. Like the Saira issues. It may because I am using an older version of Ubuntu. (well, not Ubuntu, but my distro is based on Ubuntu 9.04.)

For FiNCK I have the same issue as Whistler, but I have a white screen. And I'm on a Mac.
