Making wine store games on the hard drive.
« on: March 27, 2013, 12:57:40 AM »
I want to install a game (Sacred Gold) using wine, it seems to only install it in ram. I need to install Sacred on the hard drive because ram doesn't have enough space. How do I do this?

Make a symlink to your hd, either the whole ~/.wine dir or just the drive_c link.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I have tiny core installed on partition 5, so would the command look like this?
Code: [Select]
ln -s /mnt/sda5 /path/to/~/.wine
The only places I see wine are in /mnt/sda5/tce/ondemand/wine, /mnt/sda5/tce/ondemand/wine.img and /mnt/sda5/tce/optional/wine.tcz. Which one do I symlink?

edit: reworded post slightly so it wasn't so confusing.

~ is basically a shortcut for /home/tc/

/home/tc/.wine will be created after you run wine for the first time. Additionally, the . at the start marks it as a hidden file, and will only show up if you use the -a flag with ls, or turn on your file browser's 'show hidden files' option.

Thank you very much. Sacred is now installing, whether I'll have to do some sort of troubleshooting is still to be seen.
