First you need to set up a ''wine'' - compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications like Earth2150. Just follow this guide to install the /correct/ version of wine. There are many guides out there but this one is really working. |

1.Install wine Pre-requisites and WINE package |

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 |

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings |

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key |
|||
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources |
|||
sudo apt update |
|||
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging |

If none of this works, it may be that your graphics card is simply too old (tested and worked on GTX 750 TI, but did not do so on a GTS 450). |
|||
winetricks directplay |

=== WINE v8.0 and below === |
|||
After installing WINE, path to the location of the 'install.exe' and run it with the 'WINE Compatibility Program Loader'. From here, everything should proceed as with a standard Windows install... |

Running/Updating/setup are also all run via the Program Loader. |

1. Install mfc42 ''(it is required for GameRanger)'' |

winetricks mfc42 |

If you have no in-game music/video, then run those commands: |

winetricks quartz |

winetricks directmusic |

winetricks amstream |

winetricks cinepak |

winetricks icodecs |

WINEPREFIX=<path-to-wine> wine regsvr32 'c:\windows\system32\amstream.dll' |
