Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
This test result is for the EN server of megaten!
Installation of Wine:
1st of, I recommend you use wine-1.5.13. Next, you need the vertex shader patch (use 'save as'). Extract the wine source, copy the patch to the extracted wine source tree and open a terminel. cd to the source tree and run "patch -p1 < wine-1.5.11-swblending.patch" (Name might be different for the patch if you changed it) without quotes. Once the patch is successful, compile wine via "./configure && make". Next, install with "make install".
Installation of Game:
Download megaten form the official site and run it in wine. Should the installer hang, quit it completely and run it again. Should the installer not work for you (which also sometimes happens on windows!), either run it on a virtual windows system or download the preinstalled archive from Gamershell.
Updating the game:
Run "wine start ImagineUpdater.exe" form the installation tree of megaten. If you happen to get a mismatch error, use the manual patch available on the Atlus Online Forums.
Different resolutions:
For some reason, CAVE, the developer, decided to not include many resolution options. But you can manually fix that. First off, I recommend to run the game with virtual desktop, so open winecfg, activate virtual desktop and set the resoluton to something you want, e.g. 1920x1080. Now go to the megaten installation tree, open OutsideOption.txt and edit the lines ResolutionX and ResolutionY. They should look like this:
-Color 32
-FullScreen true
-ResolutionX 1920
-ResolutionY 1080
It's important that the FullScreen option is set to true. The game should now start in the selected resolution. If you get an error, check if the resolution in winecfg and OutsideOption.txt are identical! You can also use uncommon resolutions, I e.g. use 1920x1053 with disabled window decorations, so the window of the game is maxed on my desktop without being covered by my panels
Alternatively, you can run the game without virtual desktop in windowed mode. Therefor, change -FullScreen true to -FullScreen false and the resolution to the dimensions you want your window to have.
Fixing Fonts:
Since wine uses open fonts, you might experience weird spacing and characters (special letters) being broken. At the time of writing this, the only solution I can recommend is using the actual ms fonts. You need msgothic.ttc and msmincho.ttc, google should help you finding them. Save both in [your_wine_folder]/drive_c/windows/fonts/.

Not sure what I did wrong and how I'm supposed to fix it

First of all thank you so much for the wonderful info. I'm trying to run imagine through wine and I'm coming up with a blank white screen when the game tries to run. I installed wine and wine bottler from the combined dmg. With that I could download and install the game and even run the updater; however, when I hit play it gives me a blank white x11 screen that freezes. I downloaded the version you suggested, extracted, ran the patch, compiled (took 30 mintues btw hahaha) made install, and still giving me the blank white screen. Have I missed a step or do I need to completely uninstall wine and go again from scratch?

And I don't really get how to apply the patch, sorry, (by the way I am french, so sometimes it's a bit harder for me sorry).
I did download the patch, the installing .exe, the wine, (i don't know if I could install correctly the wine). But from there I was completely lost.
If someone could give me all the actions needed, with * between actions, or something like that. Sorry I know I ask for much. I could put everything on desktop (Computer is french but terminal is english)
Thank you in advance :) I hope you can help me
Christ ;)

ok, I'll try to help you: 1st, download wine 1.5.7 (see how to above for link). Then, download the vertex shader patch (see respective link in how to; use "save as...").
Extract wine-1.5.7 and open the folder. Copy the vertex shader patch into the extracted wine folder.
now, open a terminal inside that folder.
There, you type:
patch -p1

Please check the how to above, there, I described it pretty well actually.

I could imagine, that this is caused by your integrated ati card (ati drivers for linux still suck..).
What does your terminal say, when you start megaten?

by Yuki on Wednesday February 15th 2012, 16:42
did you try compiling wine yourself already after applying the patch?

If that's not the problem and PoL is not a possible cause, I'd suspect your gpu to be the culprit.
You could try the following:
-patch wine prior of configuring it via patch -p1
-test another game via wine and see if it works
sorry, that's all I can suggest :/
maybe you want to ask in the wine forums, someone might give you a proper hint for troubleshooting if you also add the link to your terminal output there..

ok, uncertainty aside, there's that 10001 error indication that something doesn't work properly and my female intuition tells me it's something about shaders.
for the time being, I cannot recommend any update higher than 1.3.36 with the vertex shader patch for wine 1.3.28
by Yuki on Wednesday February 8th 2012, 2:48
wine 1.3.36 causes mageten to crash

I really had to tidy this entry up, especially for the upcoming major update 2.0x and so on
hope you don't mind.
have some nice holidays,
