“Dan Kegel today released wisotool 20100530.
“wisotool is a handy winetricks-like script for automatically
installing games from .iso or .mds files copied from your own dvds
(or, if the game is freely downloadable, it will download it). Just
like winetricks, it is intended to make testing Wine easier, but
might be useful for people who simply want to install games. Unlike
winetricks, wisotool is quiet by default; it doesnt ask any
questions (except, for now, it prompts for the root password so it
can mount the .iso file; later it will use fuse instead).“Wisotool currently supports 60 games and/or benchmarks (see
list below). Please consider contributing support for your favorite
game, its not (too) hard. Im especially interested in recent or
beta games; ideally wisotool would support (worthwhile) games on
the day they are released.”
