Metroid (1986): Editroid
- Download and Extract Editroid
- creating separate wine prefixes is ideal. create an editroid wine prefix:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_editroid winecfg
- save this shell script next to Editroid.exe:
- run_editroid.sh
#!/bin/bash WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_editroid ./Editroid.exe
give the script execution permissions so you can just double-click/hit enter to run it:
chmod +x run_editroid.sh
from now on, use the shell script to launch Editroid, because this will use the correct Editroid wine prefix. If you try to run the EXE directly, it will use the default wine prefix, which is a no-no.
Metroid II: LAMP
Download and Extract LAMP. for best results grab LAMP 32-bit (x86), since 64-bit wine is still experimental
Next, either use the helper script, or follow the steps below
LAMP Helper Script
- wine_lamp_helper.sh
#!/bin/bash BITS=64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_lamp export WINEPREFIX # create wine prefix if it doesn't exist if [ ! -e "$WINEPREFIX" ]; then wine hostname fi cd $WINEPREFIX if [ "$BITS" = "64" ]; then export WINEARCH=win64 # download LAMP and the .NET 6 runtime if we don't have them already if [ ! -f "$WINEPREFIX/LAMP.64bit.exe" ]; then wget https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/WindowsDesktop/6.0.36/windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.36-win-x64.exe wine windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.36-win-x64.exe wget https://github.com/LAMP-Platform/LAMP/releases/download/Beta/LAMP.64bit.exe fi # launch LAMP wine LAMP.64bit.exe $@ else # download LAMP and the .NET 6 runtime if we don't have them already if [ ! -f "$WINEPREFIX/LAMP.32bit.exe" ]; then wget https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/WindowsDesktop/6.0.36/windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.36-win-x86.exe wine windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.36-win-x86.exe wget https://github.com/LAMP-Platform/LAMP/releases/download/Beta/LAMP.32bit.exe fi # launch LAMP wine LAMP.32bit.exe $@ fi
32-bit LAMP
copy the required commands and then paste them into your terminal with ctrl + shift + V.
- creating separate wine prefixes is ideal. create a wine prefix for LAMP:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_lamp winecfg
- install .NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime with your LAMP wine prefix:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_lamp winetricks dotnetdesktop6
- save this shell script next to LAMP.32bit.exe:
- run_lamp.sh
#!/bin/bash WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_lamp ./LAMP.32bit.exe
give the script execution permissions so you can just double-click/hit enter to run it:
chmod +x run_lamp.sh
from now on, use the shell script to launch LAMP, because this will use the correct LAMP wine prefix. If you try to run the EXE directly, it will use the default wine prefix, which is a no-no
64-bit LAMP
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64_lamp winecfg
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64_lamp winetricks dotnetdesktop6
- run_lamp64.sh
#!/bin/bash WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64_lamp ./LAMP.64bit.exe
Super Metroid: SMART
okay i'm gonna need some real deal hackers to stress test this but i'll whip together what i've done to reach this point.
Download SMART.
(optional) SMILE RF
(optional) ASAR
- extract SMART:
bsdtar -x -v -f SMART.1.19.9228.42504.zip
- creating separate wine prefixes is ideal. Create a SMART wineprefix:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_smart winecfg
- SMART uses some iteration of .NET 4. Install .NET 4.8 runtime to your SMART wine prefix:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_smart winetricks dotnet48
- (Optional) install VB6 to your SMART wineprefix for smile RF support.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_smart winetricks vb6run
- using a text editor, create a shell script (*.sh) to launch SMART. save it in the same directory as SMART.
- run_smart.sh
#!/bin/bash WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_smart ./SMART.exe
give the shell script execution permissions so you can just double-click/hit enter to run it:
chmod +x run_smart.sh
from now on, use the shell script to launch SMART, because this will use the correct SMART wine prefix. If you try to run the EXE directly, it will use the default wine prefix, which is a no-no
GBATroids: MAGE Themes
- Download and Extract MAGE Themes.
- creating separate wine prefixes is ideal. mage themes is 64-bit. make a 64 bit wineprefix:
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64_mage winecfg
- install .net 6 runtime stuff:
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64_mage winetricks dotnetdesktop6
- obtain the microsoft sans serif font micross.ttf, extract, and put it in your 64 bit wineprefix's fonts folder (drive_c/windows/fonts)
- create a shell script that sets the proper wineprefix and 64-bit for launching mage:
- run_mage.sh
#!/bin/bash WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64_mage ./mage.exe
give the shell script execution permissions so you can just double-click/hit enter to run it:
chmod +x run_mage.sh
from now on, use the shell script to launch MAGE, because this will use the correct MAGE wine prefix. If you try to run the EXE directly, it will use the default wine prefix, which is a no-no
