Sonic CD 256 color mode... ARG!

[zarquad]

SO I've installed Sonic CD for PC (win95) and applied the WinXP patches. Now I've got the classic problem of the required 256 color mode. It never liked being more or less than 256 colors. It wont play unless I can set this.
Any Ideas? I've got it running under cedega, but wine will do just fine.

try running winecfg and tweak options in there

or use this program call xnest. im not sure how that one works, but i've heard thats the other option.

A simple workaround that helped me was to change color depth from 24 bpp to 16 bpp in xorg.conf. There's also a more advanced way, see http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorsWorkarounds.
