I think the current version is playable, though has a few minor graphics issues... can check the thread out here... though I'm not sure it'll work if you don't sign up for a free account.  Wineskin is designed with this kind of customized wrappers in mind, so its already using a custom Wine build with patches to fix the main issues.

Excellent, by the sounds of it, this should well work. And graphics aren't an issue - As long as it looks passable, if the gameplay and story are unaffected, it's good. Will make the account and start asking there tomorrow, but for tonight, so I can get started, would I need to alter my install of Wine at all for it?
