           Summary: CXBX-R Xbox emulator cannot save game data, error
                    "NtCreateFile alloc_size not supported"
           Product: Wine

Hi all

Here follows a bug report regarding a missing / not implemented function in
Wine. This issue effectively prevents the saving of gaming data (in the
emulator) to the locally available storage (SSD, HDD).

Interestingly not all games are affected in the same way. It differs which
function the corresponding game is calling when a saving process to the
emulated Xbox HDD is performed. For example, "Crash Tag Team Racing" cannot
save anything while the game "Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance" is able to save at
least partially data to the emulated Xbox HDD.

The full error message at the CLI (during a failed saving process) is:

0184:fixme:file:NtCreateFile alloc_size not supported
0184:fixme:file:NtSetInformationFile Unsupported class (19)

I can confirm this behavior for Wine 6.23 but this seems present also at all
older versions. The first by me tested version with that problem was Wine 6.7.

Earlier Wine 6.x builds generally didn't work well with the CXBX-R emulator
because the built-in Visual C++ 2019 support was too limited and the native MS
Visual C++ 2019 compatibility became flawed.

According to the CXBX-R GitHub webpage
(https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded) Wine 5.0.3 is described in
conjunction with native MS Visual C++ 2019 as "stable". So the here reported
"NtCreateFile alloc_size not supported" bug may not be present. However, this
is not tested by me, so I cannot confirm this.

Whatever, in summary this issue may have a relation to the built-in Visual C++
2019 support in Wine. More information can be found at the following CXBX-R bug
page: https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/issues/2161
