Make Wine and Innoextract dependencies

Open sharkwouter opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Please leave feedback about this idea if you have any, but I am starting to think we should require wine and Innnoextract to be installed. It would make it easier to rely on them and most GOG users have some Windows exclusive games in their library. I'd like to no longer see bugs stating that some games are not showing.

Changes:

  • [ ] Make Innoextract and wine dependencies
  • [ ] See if some code can be cleaned up
  • [ ] Change the "Show Windows games" to "Hide Windows games"
  • [ ] Make sure Windows games are shown by default

While it would work fine and dandy for me, I have to assume there are Linux purists that will not install Wine. My two cents.

That is possible. We do have a lot of wine related code and not showing Windows games confuses people I've found. Alternatively, it would be possible to show windows games and give an error message, but that's also a bit weird.
