How to run on Linux

Use Wine: https://www.winehq.org/

There are some issues, when you run the Windows version of Speedy Blupi/Eggbert on Linux via Wine.

Background music does not work in Wine

Wine usually outpus this error:

0194:err:winediag:MIDIMAP_drvOpen No software synthesizer midi port found, Midi sound output probably won't work.

How to fix it:

  1. install fluidsynth (for Debian: apt install fluidsynth)
  2. Download a sound font and place it somewhere you like. Examples:
  3. Run: fluidsynth -a pulseaudio /path/to/soundfont
    • Add an & at the end, if you want to run it in the background. Or you can configure its autostart at the boot

Note: Sound game effect works. Format for sound is WAV. Format for background music is MIDI.

How to fix it:

Install directplay: winetricks directplay
