| Was just wondering if anyone else was having more luck with this then I was, or if any of you have any advice in the matter. I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop and would love to have the ability to take my touhou with me wherever I go. And before anyone mentions it, I know dual booting is an option, but I'd like to get it to run in Linux if at all possible. VMWare fails with my graphics card (the ever amazing Intel Accelerated Graphics!) and so it does not support Touhou. Supposedly, Wine version 1.0.1 has very good support for most of the Touhou games, but I've had no luck at all getting it to work properly. I've tested Wine 0.9.60, 1.0.1 (which is the default Ubuntu supported package) and even the latest 1.1.13. All of them give very similar issues testing th07, th08, and th10. Source of my trials is here: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Running_in_Linux Anyone having luck with this or suggestions? |

| I've got some of the Touhou games working in Ubuntu 8.10 (not sure which wine version, since I'm not near my pc right now). EoSD worked, but the dialog was always cut off, and in full-screen the FPS rate was insane. PCB and IN worked flawlessly. Haven't got anything later than that working. |
| The two main games I'd really like to get working are PCB and IN, so if you can check your WINE version naikou, that'd help me a lot. The errors I'm getting are very consistant throughout the games I've tried. The menu screens will be normal but if you wait too long on one of them, the text disappears. Once you're in game, it will almost immediately glitch out the graphics where moving objects like the opening text will leave trails as though the screen isn't properly redrawing.It will also quickly remove everything on the sprite layer in favor of low resolution glitched boxes to replace them. It's possible that WINE could be having some issues with my graphics card, but things like the Compiz cube run smoothly so I doubt it's a driver issue. Any other help would be great, thanks for the response! |

| Ugh, sorry for the late response. Looks like I'm using version 1.0.1 And here's a screenshot: http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/6003/screenshotit4.png |
| No worries Hmm... I'll try running that version of Wine again since it's the same version of Ubuntu. Maybe it's an issue with my graphics card after all? At least this gives me something to work with, I'll play around some more and post the results later ;) |

| Ugh, photobucket reduced the size and i'm too lazy to change it, but everything is still visible http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/stonefox/Failhou2.png Is it possible that I'm opening WINE wrong? For the moment, I've just been right clicking the exe file and saying launch with wine loader. When I've tried doing it exactly as directed in the article (LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 WINEDEBUG=-all wine thXX.exe) it actually makes the graphics go from bad to worse. Running "pgrep th07 | xargs renice -2" as explained in the video section of the article spits out a usage error (also tested with "th07.exe"). HoaRy, do you have any recommendations on extremely WINE stable old windows games? |
|
| I've never run Touhou from the command line. I just right click the exe and click "Open with WINE Windows Program Loader". I'm pretty sure I've never messed around with Japanese Language settings, either. |
| Ah well that's interesting. I had assumed since I had the cube all setup and flipping about that it implied I had Direct 3d enabled, but apparently that's not the case. And no the German site isn't terribly helpful, but now that I know it's a 3d acceleration problem and not related to WINE that should make it fairly easy to fix. Thanks for all the help, I'll post back once I get this working properly! |
|
| Just giving a final result on this one, turns out when i pulled glxinfo it gave me a different result depending on whether or not I opened up the console with the gnome application menu or the compiz shortcut. Interestingly enough, when I opened the console via Gnome it reported my 3d rendering was on and working, whereas it reported the opposite (as seen in the screenshot) if I used the compiz keyboard shortcut. It appears that running compiz actually causes graphical issues that prevent me from playing, so I was finally able to get it to work perfectly as long as compiz is disabled. Thanks for all the help in solving this, and if anyone else runs into this issue on Ubuntu Intrepid, now you know what's going on ;) |
