It is possible to play the game via Wine. Here are the steps:
- Prepare a Wine prefix, 32 bits, no need of mscoree or mshtml,
- Install the game
- Install the experimental Windows 95 patch
- In winecfg set up Windows XP as version and ddraw.dll as "native, built-in"
- Edit ddraw.ini as you prefer
To play the Splat Pack it seems the gog W95 patch does not work, but the Unofficial_Max_Pack_95_RPP.exe patch does. Install only one of the two.
Enjoy.
Edit: I noticed I made a similar post in the past. However, there was no W95 patch at the time. https://www.gog.com/forum/carmageddon_series/linux_playability_carmageddon
