SH5 working under Linux
I don't know if many will be interested in this, but since I want to enjoy my feeling of achievement, I'll share this info here. There is a thread going on but I noticed it is in the MODs subforum so I'm posting here too for easier finding.
So, I finally have gotten SH5 working under linux! (xubuntu 12.04 in my case). Basically I had to do what I said above: 1) Download wine source (I used latest 1.5.6 from sourceforge) here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine...r.bz2/download 2) Extract in your docs folder (or wherever) with: Quote:
(save the code as a regular file, in wine source folder (wine-1.5.6) name it for example hack-patch) Quote:
Quote:
in my system it downloaded about 200Megs of data 4) verify everything is ok with Quote:
Quote:
then the command Quote:
7) Done!! PS: Unfortunately in my first test sh5 runs sloooow compared to Sh4. That was to be expected, when the kids go to bed i'll test it a bit more, but I could load one of the historical missions and mess around a bit. Though I didnt go inside since I have no mods installed yet, and I never cared much to learn the new (silly?) sh5 interface! Anyway my objective is achieved, I wanted to get the thing working, even if I don't play it! |
