BIGendBolt Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I was just wondering what your guys experience is with running windows VNs on Linux using wine, proton etc. windows compatibility stuff, I just switched, and it'd be nice not to have to dual boot anymore just for VNs Edited February 23, 2019 by BIGendBolt elaborate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pual Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Never tried proton, but most VN's run fine on wine. They might require japanese locale or some manual configuration, especially for opening videos (usually 32-bit gstreamer bad/ugly plugins is enough) but many work out of the box. In rare cases you have to install some libraries from winetricks such as xact_jun2010 (Steins;Gate 0) and knowing what to install is not always straightforward if you don't have a hunch for it.

ittaku Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I exclusively play VNs on linux with wine. They often need something slightly different to get going and having different wineprefixes helps. Most of the problems are usually to do with those stupid mpeg1 videos most of them use. Very very rarely you simply cannot get it working with any combination of things under wine, and then I run it on a windows virtual machine under linux. The vast majority work though. If you need suggestions, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
