Add Steps for running under Linux via Wine

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Everything on the P3FES side seems to work, except for browsing to files for some reason, but want to include the steps required to get it running under Linux since there is a lot of desire for it to work there.

  1. Installed dotnet runtime 7.0 https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-7.0.5-windows-x64-installer and https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-7.0.5-windows-x64-installer
  2. install dotnet runtime 4.8 https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-offline-installer
  3. Prefix DOTNET_ROOT="C:\Program Files\dotnet" when you run aemulus. (Can open up your terminal and navigate to aemulus and then run it with DOTNET_ROOT="C:\Program Files\dotnet" wine ./AemulusPackageManager.exe )
  4. open up Config\Config.xml in the aemulus folder and add the following lines, using Z:\ as the drive letter (unless otherwise specified in winecfg)

Config goes under <p3fConfig>

  <p3fConfig>
    <modDir>Z:\Path\To\Output\MOD</modDir>
    <isoPath>Z:\Path\To.Iso</isoPath>
    <elfPath>Z:\Path\To.ELF</elfPath>
    <cheatsPath>Z:\home\user\.config\pcsx2\cheats</cheatsPath>
    <texturesPath>Z:\home\user\.config\pcsx2\textures\SLUS-21621\replacements</texturesPath>

The above is now out of date. I created an installer script that will handle this and fixes the file manager issue.
