How do I run on linux?

AnonTW has Lutris install scripts included (ATW Installer AMD64.yaml and ATW Installer IA-32.yaml). Just install Lutris, hit the plus sign in the upper left hand corner, choose "Install from a local install script", select the install script, hit the "Install" button in the upper right hand corner, and wait for it to install.

For other games, use this winebottle. If that doesn't work, do this:

  • Make a new gaming bottle with soda.
  • Install Allfont, Cjkfont, dotnet4, dotnetcoredesktop7, dotnetcoredesktop8, dotnetcoredesktop9 in dependencies.
  • Get libwebp 64 and libwebp 32 from dll-files.com. Put 64 in drive_c/windows/system and drive_c/windows/syswow64. Put 32 in drive_c/windows/system32.
  • Download VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe from https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/visual_c_redistributable_runtimes_aio_repack.html and install it in bottles.
  • Download aspnetcore-runtime-8.0.6-win-x86.exe, dotnet-runtime-8.0.6-win-x86.exe, windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.6-win-x86.exe (get those from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0). Install them in bottles.
  • Install dotnet 2, dotnet 3.5(ignore that you can't install it) in dependencies.
  • Download msgothi0.ttc, msmincho.ttc and put them in drive_c/windows/Fonts/ to have better fonts.
  • Move game folders into bottles (e.g: drive_c\Program Files\) and play.

How do I hook text?

You don't hook eragames. They automatically copy the most recent message on screen to your clipboard, which you can paste directly into a translation tool. ChiiTrans/Translation Aggregator/Sugoi automatically read from the clipboard.

dotnet refuses to install ("already installed") or Game crashes at launch with "narrow/wide" errors.

Uninstall wine-mono via winetricks.

My game starts, but the screen is white with a black cross. (Missing renderer)

Install d3dcompiler_43.

Images fail to load. (EmuEra EE)

Use a 64-bit prefix or replace libwebp.dll with an older renamed libwebp_x86.dll.

Game crashes frequently! (EmuEra EE)

Use a 64-bit prefix.

Help me, my game crashes when I launch it!

Go scream at the people in the thread or on discord, they'll help you. Make sure you save any error messages it spits at you.

The text is misaligned

Use Japanese locale, or scream enough, I think there exists an anchor somewhere that fixes that, but it crashes old megaten saves so there's that.

I found a bug, wat do?

Go here and report it please.

Which branch/version do I download?!

Usually you'll want to grab eng-development (Latest updates with /egg/ bugfixes/additions, eng-translation usually doesn't have these) or eng-release (Stable releases but slightly behind).
If the game doesn't have those branches, grab the master branch. That's it.
