There is now a variation of the SCUMMVM application under development that does run "Foxtail." As of right now the only problem, if you want to call it that, is when loading or saving a game there is an orange bar instead of glowing rocks. So far the game runs fine. Possibly certain books have visual glitches, but so far so good.

When trying SCUMMVM in Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid mode on 2001 Sony VAIO and the somewhat superior 2002 Dell in the same mode with WINE it does work, but crashes when trying to run "Foxtail." However, if you drop the three SwiftShader 2.1 files into the SCUMMVM folder and set WINE to use them native the game does work. Note that this is the first time the game has ever run on Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid; the Linux version will not work because GLIBC 2.27 cannot be installed on Lucid, and "Foxtail" never worked on the older laptops when trying it directly with WINE (they cannot properly handle 5.7.0 Precise).

So it seems as though if a system can run this version of SCUMMVM then it can play the Windows version of "Foxtail."

And right after I posted the other comment, I see this one. Oops!
Though I don't understand why you would want to run the Windows version of ScummVM through WINE. If you encounter a game bug in ScummVM, it will be present on every platform and you should report it on the bug tracker.
