Download Wrapper Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain 1.0
Please vote for the Quality of this Port / Wrapper, not for the Game or Application!
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Kain the Vampire in Japan) is a cult top-down action-adventure game developed by Silicon Knights and published by Crystal Dynamics. The game was first released in November 1996 for the PlayStation, and eventually ported to Microsoft Windows in August 1997.
The game is focused on the brutal but charismatic protagonist Kain, and forms part of a saga - the Legacy of Kain series - with redemption as a central theme.
Blood Omen was praised for its high-quality voice acting, moody atmosphere, and compelling storyline
Personal Notes:
I remembered a game a friend had a long time ago, that was kind of cool. Lotsa creative googling later I figured out what it was. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2. So... Long story short I decided to port the whole series. Here is number 1. The hard part was finding all the right patches and everything else to make things work...
My System Specs:
- OS: 10.6.8
- CPU: Core2Duo 2.4 GHz
- RAM: 4 GB
- Video: Nvidia GeForce 320M
- Disk Space: 600 MB
Known Issues:
Horizontal Lines all over during cutscenes, but it is probably just the cutscenes themselves. (Backup Port uses better cutscenes)
Installation:
1. Download this installer:LINK
2. Mount your ISO or insert your game CD.
3. Open the Wrapper and select Install Winblows Software
4. Select the installer from step 1.
5. Follow the prompts. Don't change anything. When it asks if the game is already installed, or to install it from CD, select install from CD.

Not too sure on the details, I just used the patches on that site, that you already found. The big file DL already includes the cutscenes from the PS version, and the smaller has the .dll's and whatever else you need to play .biks, as well as converters to convert the PC cutscenes into .bik's. Whether the same converters work for the PS version I don't know.
None of the cutscene patches on that page seem to work in Wine, FYI. You need to boot into windows, and copy the patched files over.

The controls for this port don't seem to be working at all, I can't play the game past the intro, in terms of actually moving Kain around. Is there any key step to assigning the keyboard controls to this game?
@suehprom2004: Well, the controls are configurable if in the main menu you click options->controls. Movement is done with the arrow keys. This is unchangeable. Most other controls can be configured. The command key works for alt.
Personally I changed the controls mapped f1-7 to normal 1-7, attack to spacebar, magic to R shift, and action to command.
It is also worth noting that the only way to load a game is from the options menu. (Stupid, I know)
Sorry it took so long to get back, I hope you see this. I was out at sea...

Do you already have trouble for play the .bik cutscenes ("in-game" I mean) ? (i've find french version, with the "kain-bik" exe launcher too)
On my new port the movies don't have image, just sound working fine.
Thanks.
(This french port version is cursed :3 )
Edit : my bad, I've forgot to put folder "plugins" (with filter.rpi file inside) in game's folder. (I was really empressed to play it

Hello everyone,
This is probably a stupid issue, but this is my first crack at Wineskin and I don't know where to look for the answers to make this work.
I downloaded this wrapper and the linked installer, got Wineskin Winery 1.7, and picked up an iso of the PC cd. After Step 4 I get this X11 error message: "This program requires Windows NT version 5.0.2195 or later." I then get a Wineskin error message that says "No new executables found! Maybe the installer failed...?"
I retried it using the "setup.exe" installer from the mounted iso instead of the linked installer and got further. I was able to run the installer, but got another X11 error message that read "unable to create links," though installation did finish. When installation was done I selected the Kain.exe file in the c-drive in the wrapper's advanced menu. However, when I quit and reopen the wrapper, I get an X11 error message stating "The instruction at 43256f2b referenced memory at 0000008a- the memory could not be read from- Click OK to terminate the application" (the sentences just ended at each "-"). I click "ok" and get another error saying that KAIN.EXE needs to close, and it may be because of a deficiency in Wine.
I am running OSX 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook, have a GMA 950 graphics card, and have Wineskin Winery 1.7. I've tried to download the latest update (2.5.8) and tried to install Wine 1.2.3 ICE engine, but they don't seem to be changing anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
