The Japanese in the Failed to open device error means no permissions. That error many times until an error with gibberish comes up. Slightly offtopic but what PC98 emulator did you get working with Linux? Anex?ĮDIT: Well the install worked fine, but the actual game gives meĮrr:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg0: 許可がありません (I've got the whole mess somehow sorted out now, but before I had problems with Japanese fonts breaking Chinese fonts and all.) Though I have even more problems since I need Chinese as well. Here, we want to discuss some options on how to use Wine together with emulators to achieve what Wine can't do alone. As Wine Is Not an Emulator, all those applications can't run on other architectures with Wine alone. Its a bit of a pain sometimes since there are all sorts of problems Linux has with Japanese. Wine can run on different architectures, still most available Windows applications are x86 ones. That's why I thought I had to get that locale. Though the guy said that to use it you need to install Shift-JIS which is available on ubuntu, and said something about lang= not working well with Shift-JIS because it wasn't ASCII compatible or something. The guy said it probbably doesn't work on debian even. I'm pretty sure winelocale doesn't work on Archlinux. Before I tested with just 'LANG=ja_JP wine exe' and that worked with some programs but not this one for some reason. I didn't even need Shift-JIS or winelocale.

I don't know where I got it all, but my Windows/fonts is 100MB. Not using LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 makes me see only blocks.Īnd fonts maybe. I think it comes down to uncommenting ja_JP.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, running locale-gen, and then LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine program_name.exeĪt least, this has worked for me for a PC98 emulator, and some Japanese shmups.
