Summary: Please add configuration parameter or command line
parameter for color palette size
Product: Wine
Version: 1.0-rc4
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

I have some children games, that require 256 colors. These games all say that I
need 256 colors, althought I have 24 bit colors. This is symptom of bug 7334.
Now, I do understand the issue explained there, but when I run these games in
Windows, all I do is to go to to the specific program settings and set it to
256 colors.
Imho it does not matter whether I really have 256 or more colors, it is just
that the windows call that these games use does not take this situation on
account and returns false even if you have more than 256 when it should only
return false if you have less. And because wine mimics windows behaviour, it
correctly states that you cannot use the game.
So in wines perspective the program works correctly, but from the poor players
perspective no.
My suggestion to this is, that if you could add a parameter to registry to the
game in question, winecfg or wine command line stating that wine now has 256
(or other amount of) colors instead of what the box in reality has, this would
solve the issue. If I recall correctly, this is similar to the way Cedega works
(I subscribed it for couple of years before wine got better than it).
