Just Wine itself.  There are some patches floating around that provide
some support for some versions of Safedisc if I recall, but they never
made it into the main Wine tree due to code architecture
disagreements.  Therefore, Wine doesn't handle most copy protection
schemes.

Yeah, just a note on the wiki is fine.  I'll probably bring some type
of minor marketing material to have sitting around the gaming
machines, but we don't need a huge signage area or anything like that.

I'll be providing the following hardware:

 - AMD64 3400, NVIDIA 6600GT, 1 GB RAM, running Ubuntu Dapper.  Runs
everything decently.. not a speed demon, though.  I only have an ugly
19" CRT for it, so if someone can lend an LCD for the event, that
would be nicer looking.

 - 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core2 Duo 2.33, ATI X1600, 2 GB RAM, running
Ubuntu Edgy.  Runs games very well speed-wise, but being an ATI card
in Linux, there are a number of graphical issues in certain games due
to fglrx driver bugs.
