ROM Hack Is it possible to run pkhex on Linux using wine?

[jimmyleen]

Now it wants me to run a script called gacutil.exe with winetricks, its just one problem the script can't be started with winetricks, and windows program loader can't open it either. I wish I could right click and use winetricks to open, start, and install anything that has to do with windows.

Okay

Alright, here you go. I made a Linux Mint VM and on a fresh install these commands in Terminal will set you up right.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y wine1.7

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks && chmod +x winetricks

rm -r ~/.wine

export WINEARCH="win32" && ./winetricks msxml3 dotnet40 corefonts tahoma

Cancel Mono and Gecko as you don't need them for this.
When done, download PKHeX.exe, Right-Click .exe > Open With... > Other Application.
Select Wine Windows Program Loader and click Set as Default then OK.

Now whenever you double-click PKHeX.exe it should run just fine.

NOTE: rm -r ~/.wine may fail saying directory not found. That's okay.

I'll try it

Now I have to figure out why Linux mint is giving this problem.

sudo: PAM authentication error: Module is unknown

That one I'm not sure on. If you run:
~: cat /etc/pam.d/sudo > ~/Desktop/sudo.txt
What's the contents of the TXT file? Mine is:

#%PAM-1.0

auth       required   pam_env.so readenv=1 user_readenv=0
auth       required   pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale user_readenv=0
@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-session-noninteractive

I'm sorry for not responding sooner I had to take time this morning to replace my hard drive and re install linux mint.

It worked, you are the man with the plan.

If you're interested, I made a Mac OS wine wrapper and uploaded it here: https://mega.nz/#!s54SnBQZ!qxT_rqV-UzYbhdwfMEiVCzpj_0kuwZO1Q6WcIhbl9tI

As for the OP, here are the wine tricks I used, they may help you:
msxml3
dotnet40
corefonts
tahoma
Windows Version: XP

I did not need to do 32-bit to install dotnet40 after first installing msxml3

Some options like saving the .pk6 file don't work.

Do this instead it works better.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks && chmod +x winetricks

rm -r ~/.wine

Works for me, what exactly is not working for you?

Nevermind it was fixed after the second boot. I still have a problem with generating legal pokemon (not the program, just me), it almost always says it's not a valid encounter :/

Yeah I get that as well, I think it has to do with pkhex its self.

Could anyone try mono? I would test it myself but no access to Linux right now. (mono is an opensource implementation of dotnet on linux and mac.)

For some reason mono does not work for me on Linux mint, maybe its missing something. But yeah I could never get the stupid thing to start no matter what I tried.

Edit: it might work on other OS's such as a Mac or anything unix based.

Are you using the latest version?

An explanation on how to do that on Debian based distro's (Don't forget to install mono-complete after that!)

Then in a terminal try to run:

mono PKHeX.exe

or for Hackmons rename the file to PKHaX.exe and try to run:

mono PKHaX.exe

I will test it when I get home in a few hours.

*shrugs* I try to use the version that comes pre packaged with Linux mint.

That one is most likely outdated, try adding the repo I mentioned (Mint uses debian packaging right?). It should give you the latest version.

Mono requires mscorlib.dll but Microsofts .Net website is not showing any search results for it.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I got mscorlib.dll and got mono to run but now its got more problems.

Edit: I think its best that I stick to wine.
