/hgg/ - Hentai Games General

>>261608

Lines of code is your new hentai, better get comfy with that m8.

>>261608

Any Flash games, Java games, or HTML games are good. (Get Adobe's Flash Player while you still can. You might also need a nondefault Java version.)

Unity and Ren'Py games should be trivial to make Linux versions for, but sometimes authors just don't click that "publish as Linux" button. With Unity you're probably fucked, but Ren'Py is simple enough that Wine should do the job.

Most RPG Maker games work under Wine. I think there's a standalone RPG Maker VX player for Linux, but I haven't needed it yet.

Strive for Power has a Linux version that's kept up to date.

The Era player does not work, either under Mono or Wine. (You can find alleged fixes if you hunt, but I've never managed to get anything running.) Other obscure and/or closed-source engines (RAGS, Quest, DayDreamer) are probably fucked, too, although I neither care enough nor trust them enough to try to find out.

About one in ten games with custom engines will work under Wine; I can't tell you which because I gave up on trying them years ago. If they're dead-simple kinetic or visual novels and/or are old enough to have worked under Windows XP, the chance of success goes up to one in two.

>>261620

You joke, but I've spent far too much time looking at Free Cities code to figure out how to tweak my harem's various clonal lines.

This is an old thread about gaming on Linux: https://archive.li/NL0FF

Your best friend is Wine, a layer compatibility. Thanks to Valve too, it has greatly improved in the last two years, see >>>/tech/958729 (because of the improvements, some posts in the archived thread may be outdated and things be much easier)

As a rule of thumb, if a game runs on XP, it always runs on Wine (forget RAGS games, though).

For stuff that runs only on Windows, you can set up a virtual machine with WMWare, VirtualBox or similar softwares: keep your Windows product key, you can download the iso from the official site: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/

>What hentai games are compatible with Linux?

None of them because you do not understand yet what you are talking about.

When a software (hentai games or not) is made, when it's created the programmers have to choose on what platform it will work, they could for example choose to make a POSIX compliant/compatible program thus it would run on 99.9999% of all computers or they could just refer to the numbers of normies running X version of Microsoft windows.

I haven't yet responded to your question but please stay with me. My reasoning is that when a program is made for windows it is only compatible with windows and that will never change except if the programmers extend the compatibility.

But you might ask me:

>why does some games programmed for windows works on gnu/linux ?

Either because the game was programmed to be working on a gnu/linux operating system or because other programmers decided to make a compatibility layers.

For example WINE is a compatibility layers who tries to reverse engineer part of the programs of windows so that compatible windows games can be executed on gnu/linux.

But is that a good things ?

Well it depends on what you believe. The whole point of gnu/linux is to be in control of your computer, to finally have ownership of it. Wine is a technically interesting project but you must understand that once you began to install windows compatible games on gnu/linux you will bring the problems that you fled from windows on your gnu/linux OS.

Let me explain why. WINE is not an emulator, it's not sandboxed or anything if your windows compatible game has malware or spying capabilities it will be able to do the same functions on your gnu/linux as well.

So now that you know this you have a better understanding of your options.

You can:

-Stay on MS windows with your games:

But you'll have all the malware/spying that MS is imposing you and the malware/spying that the games are inflicting you.

-Migrate on a gnu/linux OS and install WINE and the windows compatible games.

But you'll bring all malware/spying that the games are inflicting you.

Like RMS says "It's a choice of lesser evil".

If you want to migrate on gnu/linux and use it efficiently you will have to learn a lot about the programs that you will use. It's not hard, you just need to build endurance.

My best advice for someone you who tries to do it himself is to stay with the windows OS they have and install the gnu/linux os on another computer so that you can test your configuration until it satisfies you.

Myself right now I am using gentoo that I installed last week. It's not finished, I installed the gentoo base, iw, X, evilwm and firefox (plus lots of small test tools like fwts). The wiki gentoo is not complete and very beginner friendly but you can always go on the forum.

My advice if you want to go for that is to have a pen an paper an note every command that you do, read a lot on the wiki and forum and when you want ot post on the forum you post the threads that you found before posting to show that you were actively searching.

Here's another tool that came handy in my researches: searx.me and https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/Searx-instances it's a meta search engine. Basically when you make a research it sends request to multiple search engine (like google or duckduckgo) and gives you a compiled results, you need to go in the preferences to active more of them tho.

Good luck I hope you'll be successful.

>The Era player does _not_ work

Are you sure? eratohoK seems to have a guide on how to install and run it through wine (though I can't be bothered to check how well it works) and I do remember being able to run even the japanese one (eratohoK and eramaou) though I didn't bother to fix half-width chars or broken back-scrolling as I got qemu working, speaking of which

>>261608

If you can get your hands on a second GPU, hell even a "bad" one or don't plan on playing very demanding games qemu is a very good way to run literally anything windows as you can just emulate windows itself (seven), activate it and then and store everything on a linux drive that it accesses (through virtio network), or just in the VM itself (though then you are limited to whatever space you allocated to the image and don't have easy access to files there)

>>261631

>DayDreamer

It used to run on Linux, I haven't tried it recently because I haven't seen any interesting games that use it

>RPG Maker

2000/2003 games can be played with EasyRPG Player. (Violated Heroine works great)

There are a couple similar projects for XP/VX/VX ACE but they aren't very active.

MV is just node-webkit so I just have a simple webserver serve up the www directory and play it in Firefox, e.g.:

firefox 0.0.0.0:2000 & darkhttpd www --port 2000 | grep -Ee 'GET [^ ]+ 4[[:digit:]]{2}'

>ERA

>RAGS

Never been able to get either to work but some RAGS Devs have started exporting to HTML or something.

>>261608

when it comes to jap games you're fucked, sorry

>>261679

he want's a list of hentai games he can run on linux, no reason to get bent out of shape about it

Among the jap games, I've also played Evenicle and Octoberween on Wine. Teaching Feelings 1.9.2 can be played natively (I haven't tested any v.2+ release yet). As for the Rpg Maker games, see the previous posts: the only games I couldn't launch, are the MV ones when exported as a huge .exe file (iirc Town of Passion is like that - sorry, I know it isn't Japanese).

>>262492

Thanks, I didn't know about those packages. And yes, I have the MS Mincho font

You can play all renpy based games directly - which are a lot. Often you won't find a Linux link directly, but the windows download also comes with a <game-name>.sh file that will start the game under Linux. So open up a terminal go into the game directory and run e.g. ./the-desire-within.sh

>>262499

LANG="ja_JP.UTF8" LC_ALL="ja_JP.UTF8"

i have an simple bash alias for it also

dont use linux for home computing. its a stupid fucking meme. especially if you are a pleb non-programmer.

>>261631

>era

era uses direct system calls to windows API so it will only work on Wine or some other kind of OS emulation, it will not work with Mono

>>263018

many games work, you can stub out/substitute winmm functions with mono ones, use MONO_IOMAP=all or rewrite path handling and set text renderer in emuera.config, also youll need to install mono vbasic package on top of usual jap reqs (fonts, locale etc)

Most jap games work. ITHVNR / Textractor work and Translation Aggregator also works. Most Illusion games work though you have to force directx9 with their Unity games. Also Artificial Academy requires a change in config for the girls to not look like they are made of shit. You will probably get it if you search for lutris and artificial academy 2 on google.

>>266014

Renpy games work natively if they have a .sh file in the directory otherwise you can use the Renpy SDK for playing. For Unity games I'd recommend trying first trying to force opengl and then trying to force directx9. If both of them don't work use dxvk.

>>266014

If you are going to use wine, I'd recommend using lutris.

About RAGS: on TFGamesSite there's a guy claiming to be able to play them on Wine.

>I've actually not had that many problems with RAGS once I got it running at all. The big thing was to start in its own prefix, and also make absolutely sure to install SQL server compact before trying to install rags. (If RAGS was installed first it would be completely screwed up even if you installed SQL later, and it was easiest just to scrap the prefix entirely and try again).

> Create a new wineprefix (run wine and winetricks with "WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.yourwineprefix". It will set up a new one automatically).

> I don't remember exactly what is required, but here is a list of winetricks that I have installed on my .winerags prefix:

>dotnet20, dotnet30, dotnet40, msls31, msvcirt, riched20, riched30, wmp9, wsh56vb, wsh57

>Also, make sure you have "Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 x64 ENU" installed. You must do this before you install rags, otherwise many games will not work

>After that, just use wine to run the RAGS installer (making sure you are using your new wineprefix), and after it installs you can open it normally using wine (again, in its own prefix)

>So far, I've mostly had no problems. Just make absolutely sure you have sql server compact installed prior to installing rags. That has caused problems for me in the past.

Here are some things i know and do about rpg maker games.

rpg2000 works out of the box with wine if you have a midi synth with windows soundfont running, like fluidsynth.

there is also easyrpg to get a native player for VH, it should work but also requires proper soundfonts and midisynth.

rpg2003 > same deal

rpg maker xp->vx_ace need their mid files converted to ogg or you will not get any music, counts for the rtp and individual games

rpg maker MV works if you rip out the custom MV binaries and put the latest linux binaries from https://nwjs.io/ in there.

Only thihng left from the original game:

www/ DIRECTORY

package.json FILE

After that just extract latest nwjs things there and start with ./nw

The bad: Windows devs can't into filenames and constantly fuck up their "programming" by forgetting to capitalize a resource. That results in the above not fucking working more often than not.

Solution:

Use ciopfs to bind mount www_data (original files) to www, you will get a case insensitive folder structure that way and every single game will work without trouble so long as they don't try to load custom windows executables.

It works like this:

>be on ext4 or another filesystem with xattr support

mv www www_orig

mkdir www

mkdir www_data

ciopfs www_data www

>At this point if ciopfs does not output anything then it works

>move data to an empty initialized ciopfs mount, using ciopfs on existing files will not work

mv www_orig/* www/

rm -r www_orig

>If game works then unmount www folder with

fusermount -u www

After that it is

ciopfs www_data www

./nw

fusermount -u www

to play the game.

Here is an example script to get something i can just doubleclick to start the game:

https://pastebin.com/W46smnZL

Seriously, MV is fucking work to get something playable. But at least it is native.

>>266014

>force directx9 with their Unity games

Just a reminder, if you use DXVK then the black screen issues with unity games will disappear.

>>261679

What possesses autists to think that anyone cares about their middle school level understanding of free software philosophy?

The easy solution is to just torrent a windows iao then run it on Virtual box. If you have a hdd you'll probably have read/write problems like stuttering audio but it should be fine if you have an ssd. (Idk if you can port your games (maybe dropbox or something like that))

iao -> iso

Has anyone managed to get MangaGamer's Kyonyuu Fantasy working on Linux? I've tried Wine, Winetricks and PlayOnLinux, with all of them not working (black screen without audio)

>>261679

t. viper

LOL cucked by Linux

>>261679

>WINE is not an emulator

This autism yet again, linuxtards should realize that renaming things does not change the substance.

>>281242

You are exactly who that backronym makes fun of.

You may pick up on it if you re-read that sentence, but I doubt it.

Anyone know a way to run Heiantei games on linux. They crash as soon as I start them even with Japanese locale.

>>283304

Read the errors wine throws at you and hope you can make sense of them

Anyone know a way to run Heiantei games on linux. They crash as soon as I start them even with Japanese locale.

>>283318

No errors are there other than the general fixme errors.

>>283337

You'd have to play around with WINE_DEBUG to get some useful information, but it probably will show you more than you asked for.

>>261679

What in the literal fuck is wrong with kids today? What possesses them to write this novels full of autistic drivel?

Because Lilith's Throne is built on JavaFX, it doesn't work out of the box on OpenJDK 11:

$ java -jar LilithsThrone_0_2_12_96.jar

Error: Could not find or load main class com.lilithsthrone.main.Main

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

You have to manually enable all the JavaFX modules to get it to work:

$ java -p /usr/share/openjfx/lib/ –add-modules javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.media,javafx.swing,javafx.web -jar LilithsThrone_0_2_12_96.jar
