Hi, there
I'm on ZorinOS 12.3 Ultimate and I want to play games through wine which require Directx9.
I tried several tutorials how to install Directx9 but with no luck.
Before minutes I tried that https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1095486 but on installation I get some errors connected to the dll files.
Can someone tell me how to successful install Directx9 or to help me with the errors. Thanks!

Hi Buzdrev

below is a good explanation on the possibilities you have - Zorin Ultime is linked to Ubuntu 16.04
