In http://jmikeneedham.dyndns.org/?p=10, a user complained
that Psygnosis Wipeout XL hangs on startup.  I confirmed
this with the downloadable demo,

Looking at the log, it seems to be looping endlessly looking
for an audio CD to be inserted. This was common practice
back in the day; gamers would always throw an audio
CD-ROM in the drive so they could listen to music
while they played.  Games often came on hybrid audio/data cds.
When you insert a hybrid audio/data cd, though,
you have to tell the system to mount the data portion,
else wine won't give it a drive letter.

So, if you jump through those hoops (e.g. insert a
cd-rom and tell the system to mount it), the
game will continue to the next problem: you can
tell the game to start, and the welcome screen then
goes away, but no game window comes up.  The log shows:

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x34f820,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8
err:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Resolution change not successful --
perhaps display has changed?

So I guess the next step is to try this on an 8 bit display.
