| Touhou on Linux and MacOS X, using Wine or Virtualization |

And what are the specs of your PC? Probably it's just not enough good for them (Wine requires a little bit more resources for Touhou games than playing them natively under Windows). Second option is that you use old Wine or/and video drivers, it happens. |

I'm trying to run Shoot the Bullet on Linux Mint in VirtualBox. I get an error when I try to boot it up saying I need Direct3D. How do I get this? |

I don?t know if this thread is still used?? Anyway, here?s my issue: I used to run Touhou games with Winebottler on Mac (OS X El Capitan) without a hitch. However, since I upgraded to High Sierra, a few of my games have had framerate issues, namely Touhou 11, 12, 12.5, 12.8 and 13. No matter where in the game, the FPS drops to 40-ish every few seconds, rendering the games unplayable. Every other Touhou runs just fine, it?s just these five. I know my computer is perfectly able to run these games (since they used to be fine on El Capitan) and I?m really not sure how to go about fixing this issue. Current version of macOS: 10.13.4 (latest) Current version of Winebottler: 1.6.1 (latest) Also, I tried to run the games with plain old Wine, but I?m not tech-savvy and can?t get the games to work at all. All the tutorials out there seem to skip very important steps or assume you already know what you?re doing. Thanks for the help and let me know if you need more details. |

What I currently do is as follows: 1. Download the official distribution from https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html (I am a dev release maintainer for the project so I typically download the latest development tarball) 2. If using the tarball, unzip somewhere (I suggest your Desktop for the time being). In the newly created usr/ folder there will be bin/wine. This is the executable. 3. In your Terminal, first cd to the directory with the .exe file. Then run the following: LANG="ja_JP" ~/Desktop/usr/bin/wine th06e.exe where the executable is the relevant executable. I personally rename the unarchived usr directory to 'wine' and move it into my hard drive under my user profile. This allows me to do the following: --- Code: ---cd ~/Desktop/Touhou\ Windows/Touhou\ 8\ -\ Imperishable\ Night ~/wine/bin/wine th08.exe --- End code --- In this example I cd (change directory) to the folder where IN's executable is located. Then I run wine (located in ~/wine/bin/wine as noted above) and choose th08.exe as the executable to run. ~ refers to your user directory, where Documents, Desktop, etc. are located. My directions probably aren't the best, but if this helps you any, I'm glad to be of service. --Sparen ~~~ Edit: Whoa that was one heck of a necropost. Doesn't help that the person who created this thread has been banned for years and obviously can't edit the opening post to provide more up-to-date information. |
