Original works fine in WINE (Never needed to bother with the Steam version) as long as the exact version of quicktime is used from the CD.
I did manage to find this from somewhere (repects due to the person who did it Needs to be installed in XP first)
I opened two Explorer windows: one showing my Program Files\Riven\data folder, and the other showing the Data folder of CD 1.
- I copied the MHK file(s) from CD 1's data folder to the computer's data folder.
- I similarly copied the MHK files from the other CDs' data folders to the one data folder on the computer.
- I opened the riven.cfg file (Program Files\Riven) in an editor. About half way down is a comment that says "Data file sets". There are groups of *spit. Each has its own "Disc =" a number line. For every one of those, I changed the number to 0. That's it for Riven. It worked fine on the XP machine without the CDs.
Transfer to the Windows 7 machine
I moved the Riven folder from the XP machine to a USB device (I didn't have a big enough memory stick, so I used... my camera's memory!) and from the USB device to Program Files\Riven on the Windows 7 machine. Export Registry settings from xp to 7
Install the ancient QuickTime
I viewed CD 1 on the Windows 7 machine, drilling down into QTWSETUP\WIN32\CUSTOM.
I ran QT32INST.EXE and selected Install and Start. It fails with "QuickTime for Windows has stopped working." I selected "Close Program".
I restarted the same QT32INST.EXE program and selected Complete and Start. It, too, fails. But stuff is being or has been installed.
I restarted and selected Skip and Skip All. (Is it checking for newer versions of the QuickTime pieces? Is that what's failing?) Skipping let me get a new Install button, and I progress, obtaining the desireable "red filmstrip" style progress bar and then a message of success.
By golly, my old Riven now works on my new Windows 7, 64 bit machine.
Hope it helps. i have never had any need to do it
