Not Telling
thats normally a problem you cannot get around. Some developers purposefully prevent their software from working under Wine and other such things. I wouldn't want to support such a$$hole developers.

I was not very happy when EA shut down my favorite facebook game, Restaurant City. Mirror's Edge... is my favorite list. I heard People said Mirror's Edge 2 has cancelled after EA rejected it. I was like wtf.
Btw, Why can't EA company die? They still always mass their games but THQ and LucasArt don't mass their games. They are dead. They are really GREAT video game companies! :-(

Lucas Arts has been terrible since like 1999..
WIth EA, commercialism with simplifying games and stupid DRM is my biggest concerns.

#96323 remapping keys in a Wineskin wrapper

If you're using/want to use the MacDriver this could be a solution:
Well... This is the kind of workaround you would describe with "fighting a mosquito with a shotgun", but still it should work. You can use "KeyRemap4MacBook" (for any Mac and any keyboard) for this as it has the ability to remap any key or even shortcut to literally any other globally or on a per app basis. There are some predefined shortcuts which are not of any interest, but you can make your one ones, too. This is kind of complicated and not Mac like at all, as you have to edit your own xml, but there is a nice guidance for this on the application's website.

Thanks for your very helpful tip. I indeed managed to remap the keys inside the application only. I was even able to override this settings in certain situations so I can now switch applications with Cmd+Tab and close the application with Cmd+Q like I'm used to, though these keys are remapped within the wrapper.
For anyone else who wants to use the Mac drivers and remap the keys, here is what I did: After installing KeyRemap4MacBook open ~/Library/Application Support/KeyRemap4MacBook/private.xml with a text editor of your choice. Replace the contents with the following:
Quote
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<appdef>
<appname>WINE</appname>
<equal>org.pqrs.unknownapp.wine</equal>
</appdef>
<item>
<name>Ctrl to Cmd for Reaper</name>
<identifier>Ctrl to Cmd for Reaper</identifier>
<only>WINE</only>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::OPTION_L, KeyCode::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::CONTROL_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::OPTION_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::Q, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::Q, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
</item>
</root>
<root>
<appdef>
<appname>WINE</appname>
<equal>org.pqrs.unknownapp.wine</equal>
</appdef>
<item>
<name>Ctrl to Cmd for Reaper</name>
<identifier>Ctrl to Cmd for Reaper</identifier>
<only>WINE</only>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::OPTION_L, KeyCode::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::CONTROL_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::OPTION_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::Q, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::Q, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
</item>
</root>
This makes:
- the Option key work as Alt key
- the Command key work as Control key
- the shortcut for closing the wrapper Cmd+Q
For people (like me) who always want to know what they are doing, when they hack preference files, I try to explain what those five lines do.
Quote
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::OPTION_L, KeyCode::COMMAND_L</autogen>
This one makes the Option key work as Alt Key again.
Quote
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::CONTROL_L</autogen>
Makes the command key work as control key.
Quote
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::OPTION_L</autogen>
This one maps the wine-equivalent of the windows key (that was originally mapped onto the alt key) onto the ctrl key. You only need this if you want to close applications with Cmd+Q instead of Alt+Cmd+Q.
Quote
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
The previous remappings remapped the shortcut for application switching onto Alt+Tab. This line fixes this, so you can switch applications with Cmd+Tab again.
Quote
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::Q, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::Q, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
The default shortcut for closing the wrapper is Alt+Cmd+Q when using the Mac drivers. After the first three remappings it is Ctrl+Alt+Q. This line allows you to close the wrapper with Cmd+Q.
Please regard that those changes affect ALL wrappers that use the Mac driver. If you want to create your own remappings, just change the lines into your favorite combination. Here is a detailed manual on how the syntax of those remappings work.

Well technically if you were the developer it would be possible because they have access to the source code and they can make a mac/pc port out of the source code.
But for us users the only way we are ever going to get to run these console exclusives on pc/mac is through emulators . But sadly pc hardware isn't powerful enough to emulate the consoles yet , so the answer to your question would be NO .

the checkmark for using the Mac driver in Wineskin.app changes the registry for you... If you don't have it checked, everything still uses X11. The only issue comes down to when there is no registry... which is during wrapper creation and rebuild... then it uses the default set in Wine just for that.

EA seems to ruin a lot of my favourite franchises.
Ruined Ultima, Command and Conquer, Lands of Lore, Dragon Age, and now Sim City.

Didn't their CEO get fired? Hopefully we will see some changes.
Yeah he stepped down and or was fired.
But I doubt things will change.
Ultima was ruined in 1994 and then again Ultima was ruined even further 1999 along with the Lands of Lore and Command and Conquer franchises in 1999 - Dragon Age in 2011 and Sim City in 2013. (personal opinions only)
* see Ultima 8 / 9, Lands of Lore III, Tiberian Sun and Dragon Age 2.*
Also I am sure they messed up other things between 2000 and 2010

You can also use Icon Composer (Graphics Tools for Xcode package) which can be downloaded from Apple with free developer account.

If any one is still using 10.5.8 they need to seriously upgrade or buy a new computer that poop is old 
I would appreciate 10.5 ports - and to the above some of us do not have our parents buying us a new computer and need to pay on our own. I do not have 2500 dollars + burning a hole in my pocket ever year or two.
There are several reasons not to "upgrade"
10.6 - has the icon bug that was never fixed - though otherwise pretty darn good
10.7 - was a mess
10.8 - broke a ton of stuff and broke a ton of ports here. Gatekeeper though well intentioned is annoying. Maybe I am cynical but it is just to make people buy off the App store.
Apple's yearly development cycle is stupid in my opinion. Most of the bugs do not get ironed out until the .5 or the .6s etc. Now we will not even see those (yes there was 10.7.5 but it is still buggy).
We are stuck in the region of pain.
