Pokemon Reborn on Linux

[Apadgett]

Hey everyone, I’m going to help you play reborn on you favorite Linux box. I have personally tried this on Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and Arch. Its plain and simple for us.

We will be using WINE to run reborn for us. (There is no need to remove any files like the Mac version.) Its just a simple few steps.

Keep in Mind I can not place pictures for this at this moment due to my personal system.

Step One: Open up your favorite terminal program.

Step Two: This is where the distros will differ a bit.

Arch- Issue a “sudo pacman -Syu” then a “sudo pacman -S Wine"

Debian- Issue a “sudo apt-get update” then a “sudo apt-get install wine”

Ubuntu-same as above, (not personally tested, you may need to add a PPA)

Gentoo- Please make sure you know what version is stable for your system and your packages are all up to date, then emerge wine into your system.

Fedora 23- Issue a “sudo dnf update” then a “sudo dnf install wine”

Fedora 24-same as above. ( I have NOT personally tested this one, it may be unstable)

Step Three: Right click on the downloaded reborn zip file and extract the internal folder to where you would like it. ( I personally use my documents folder, aka /home/%USER%/Documents"

Step Four: Go into the newly extracted files and right click the game.exe file and run it with WINE.

Step Five: Let wine Configure itself.

Step Six: Enjoy!!

Feel free to PM with any problems. If I can help I will,

EDIT: I will be testing more distributions, and more diverse installs of linux over time, and I will note any problems I come across.

Known Bugs---

Bug:you get an error of "failed to initialize directx audio"

Solution: install lib32-alsa-libs and lib32-alsa-plugins packages.

Bug: laging like crazy

Solution:TBD ( I am experimenting on my system to find some way to fix this)

Edit:this is a "random bug" not all systems will experience it.(most will not)

Bug:no sound

Solution: check if your using pulse audio, if not I recommend installing it.

I might switch to linux soon. Which operating systems have the lag you're talking about? I'm mainly concerned about Debian and Ubuntu.

It seems to be WINE itself, but it also appear to be system specific, most people will not get it.

I have a laptop with Ubuntu now. Installed wine and tried running Reborn. At first it started fine but the music only worked for first two seconds or so, the game was mute after that. So I closed to see if it would work better on second try. Now the game won't start at all with some long and unclear wine error message. :-(

Well Linux isn't made for gaming :/ also there is the thing that rpgmaker games always had issues on Linux

It's more of an office OS used for work, programming,database handling etc.

Anyways I found a nice thing

I wish I had something to help you with that issue, but my knowledge of Linux is little to none. Though I do know that Wine often ends up being very incompatible with audio files from RPG Maker games. Although, I do believe that the majority of them will work. If you are willing to go through the game without sound for a bit, I'm sure you'll run into places where the BGM will work just fine.
