Sonic Generation
-- Important Note --
* To get the game working, you ll need dotnet for the ConfigurationTool.exe (this application isn't necessary for the game to run, but is necessary to generate the configuration files, the game will not launch without them). Since ConfigurationTool.exe is a dotnet application, you'll need to install dotnet (wich is most of the times trooblesome, but since 1.5.17 it should be easyer)
To install dotnet, you'll get more luck by using winetricks ( http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks ) This bash script will help you downland and install dotnet.

* Once dotnet is installed, fire up the ConfigurationTool.exe, if things go well, you'll be able to configure keyboard,sound and video option. Save configuration, and you'll get the files created in the game directory.

*Now, the last thing to do, is to edit the file 'GraphicsConfig.cfg'. As the configurationtool seems not able to detect something perhaps, you ll see the penultimate line with a garbage "^A" this "^A" must be deleted in order for the game to launch; ie: you should get something like this:
"GraphicsConfig.cfg
Do not manually edit this file, use the configuration tool.
