Nice! glad to see anothe linux + VN enjoyer. Just out of curiosity could you explain a little bit how do you run VNs using wine? how does work the setup? or share any guide? I never needed beacause all the VNs I have played run perfectly using steam/pronton
On my case I use wine since I also use textractor (to read japanese) Well, to start I followed the guide that's in this sub about how to play visual novels on GNU/Linux and another one in learnjapanese .moe (I think that's the page) After following those guides it almost worked but it did still had problems, I wrote this about a month ago on a txt:
" Solution steps: 0: Start a Wineprefix with WINEARCH32: //WINEPREFIX=~/.testwine WINEARCH=win32 wineboot
1: Change Wine system locale to Japanese: //WINEPREFIX=/home/cyo/.testwine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 TZ=Asia/Tokyo winetricks --gui
2: Once started the gui you must install (Winetricks --gui): -dxvk... //details: 'Not supported for Wine GE 8.0' but it was installed anyway that's fine, I guess. -dotnet35 -vcrun from 2003 to 2015 -lavfilters (including extra) -quartz -wmp9,wmp10 -wine gecko...? //details: wine suggested to install it aftter wmp10, does not seem relevant but anyway..
3: After installing this I executed: WINEPREFIX=/home/cyo/.testwine winetricks alldlls=default "
The wine/winetricks version is: -Wine GE 8.0 -Winetricks staging This downloaded from AUR (or chaotic AUR I think)
Did you use anything on top of textractor to translate? Does it work well on wine?
Been a while since I last had a setup for this (no time lately, playing a few English translated titles on steam) but it was on a dedicated VM with win xp.
I'm currently using textractor + yomichan (in the browser) to learn Japanese, when I play a VN textractor sends the text to the browser and there I can use the yomichan dictionaries. Here's the guide I followed for that https://learnjapanese.moe/vn/ It works without problems
Aha, I've worked with this a few years ago on windows, glad to hear it can work in Linux as well. I will try it out when I get more time. Thank you.
