/hgg/ - Hentai Games General

Im using Mint btw

Just make a windows VM. Unless you want to fuck around with wine for a few hours.

anything renpy, glassix has a linux mod, there's a qsp player for linux, Unity games in general usually work after you install the Tahoma/Tacoma(?) font, Stationmaster, LifePlay…

>im not gonna get that fucking shekel master of an OS

Just pirate it?

ENGINES

Ren'py: if the dev has built the game for Win+Linux, just use the launcher (.sh). If not, download the corresponding SDK and add the missing libraries.

RPG Maker MV / Visual Novel Maker: if the file is a big .exe, afaik you must first unpack it by running Enigma VB Unpacker on Wine. If uncompressed, you can launch it through NW.js (the SDK version is shipped with an useful console). Open the NW.js directory in a terminal, create two soft links pointing to the file package.json and the www directory of the game, then launch the game:

>./nw .

HTML: a HTML game runs natively, just open it in any browser. If made with Twine, in order to save your progress on the hard disk, open the game directory in a terminal and type (replace PORT with any number > 1024):

>python3 -m http.server –bind 127.0.0.1 PORT

then visit this URL in any browser tab:

>http://127.0.0.1:PORT/FILENAME

Flash: download the Flash projector from this page:

www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

Java: either you install the Oracle package, or the corresponding open source packages (OpenJDK + OpenFX: games with a GUI need both).

DOS: install Dosbox.

Others: see >>373121 . For Wine: create a new prefix, download winetricks from github and install the missing libraries (some games may need stuff like corefonts, DirectX, .NET 4.5, vcrun6, winhttp).

RPG Maker games (pre-MV) run fine on Wine, once you install the right RTPs (+ MSGothic fonts):

For games made with RPG Maker 2000/2003, there is also EasyRPG.

MORE STUFF

Fonts: ttf-mscorefonts-installer includes most Windows fonts.

Japanese filenames: you must generate a locale:

>sudo locale-gen ja_JP.UTF-8

and prefix your console commands with:

>LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

Case sensitivity: you have multiple solutions. For instance you can: use ciopfs; create a new case insensitive partition with dd+mkfs; move your games in a FAT partition or in an NFTS partition mounted with lowntfs-3g.

Cheat Engine: the Linux equivalent is scanmem + gameconqueror (a GUI front-end)

Free cities, CoC but not CoC2, TiTS, and Degrees of Lewdity all work on linux. Why? Because they are Flash/HTML games so you can run them in your web browser and not through an exe. Wish there were more linux h-games, or an easy way to set them up without having to run a VM. I use linux for my laptop since it's gentle on my processor. Would nice to be able to use it for lewd games from the comfort of my bed

>open the game directory in a terminal and type

You can also usually do this with MV games, even those that often don't want to work in your browser. Just open a terminal in the www folder and go python3 -m http.server and it'll start up a server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ by default.

The public releases on jewoxo's site have an option to be played from within a browser and it is apparently not hard at all to disassemble the source code from electron programs. Not that the game is remotely worth the hassle of doing so no matter how hard it might be per some/most anons.

>>373280

you know about flash projector, right?

>>373110

Old games for the NScripter engine like Tsukihime will usually work with onscripter.
