Sure. Assuming an empty wineprefix (vcrun2005 required only for new free mektek
release of MW4 mercs, directplay for multiplayer issues, the rest for videos):

winetricks vcrun2005 directx9 directplay quartz

copy native amstream.dll to installation folder.

As mentioned above, autoconfig executable does not work, so create the
options.ini file (if it doesn't exist) with the content from MechWarrior 4:
Vengeance, as I stated in appdb.winehq.org.

"WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amstream=n" wine MW4.exe -noautoconfig /gosnodialogs

To get fullscreen working, apply the patch

diff -urN wine-1.3.2/dlls/ddraw/ddraw.c wine-1.3.2_mw4/dlls/ddraw/ddraw.c
