Recently got Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) on my new laptop, and I thought I'd take a few windows based games along. Downloaded and installed WINE, and then proceeded to install one of these games: Blue Wish Resurrection Plus (bullet hell freeware shmup).

Now everything seems to be going smoothly, but when I play the game it runs way the hell too fast. I did a bit of research and tried the following:

nvidia-settings (I have a nVidia graphics card) and activating "Sync to vBlank" (didn't do anything)

and taskset -c 1 wine <executable>, which had some effect: the game slowed down, except now the FPS fluctuates wildly, anywhere from 13 to 49, and the game is unplayable.

Anyone think of anything else I might do to get this game functioning? (Keep in mind I'm something of a Linux n00b, so keep answers simple please  ).

This probably isn't the answer, but I'll just throw this out there anyways.  I know this is Wine, but I fiddled with DOSBOX a while ago and had problems that were similar to yours.  DOSBOX has a configuration file that specifies the simulated CPU clockspeed.  If Wine has something similar, you may want to try editing the values in that file to higher numbers.  That fixed my slowdown problems.

I'll check that out. Sounds like it might work.
