Hi, I'm very new to Wine. I've been reading up on a lot and have spent at least 20 something hours trying to get this demo to work. XD

I'm mostly just copy/pasting what I see online. Getting results, but not really great ones. I really don't know what I'm doing... :P

I used to have the Wine that came with Winebottler, but that didn't work out so well for me. I couldn't install the new winetricks-alpha that I needed for this game to work. But I was able to install the game just fine.

I also tried Wineskin 2.0. Which is actually really nice and neat, but for some reason I couldn't open up the winetricks on the "Advanced" tab. I made sure that my wrapper and none of the folders it was in had spaces in them. But it still wouldn't open.

Now, I have Wine 1.2.2 installed through MacPorts. I got cabextract and installed all the necessary stuff like "d3dx9_36", "d3dx11_43", and "devenum". I am 100% sure they are installed. I have tried twice. I also made sure I got the right winetricks-alpha and renamed it to just "winetricks". That's definitely installed too.

My only issue now is, the game still says I don't have DirectX installed. 

Did I miss a step? Or am I doing this all wrong?

To be honest, I would like to know how to do this through Wineskin, because I just like how it neatly handles everything especially for games and stuff... But I am willing to try a different way. :)

Thank you for reading. :D
