Tutorial Others Playing On Linux - Tutorials, Tools And Help

[Mr. Coatl]

Pardon me if this is essentially an already answered question and I need to get over my aversion to text walls but, I've recently been trying to get my SteamDeck (runs Linux natively) to play H games and just now discovered that Proton is in it natively also but I also want to play the Taimanin games on it (Premium Box specifically) and through Proton it launches, but it still needs to have the system locale be Japanese. Does anyone here know how to change that or run a locale emulator on SteamDeck? I'd prefer not to do all that Wine stuff but I'm willing to do it if its the way we find it needs to be.
2 MINUTES AFTER ASKING EDIT: I may have found something to help but I'm out of time and won't be able to do anything with this for a while pretend I didn't ask this until I investigate further
MORE TIME EDIT: Ok so following This Guide (Specifically step 2) I'm 80% positive I was able to install JP system locale but it still won't run. Other games are fine but Premium Box still seems like it doesn't see the locale so I really don't know what to do from here...

Works fine for me:

So probably an issue with a browser setting or addon or proxy...

Assuming I understand what you are asking, it is either LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 %command% in launch options for Steam client or LANG="ja_JP.UTF8" wine <GAMEPATH> if launching plain WINE via the terminal.

That was Exactly It! Thank you very much.
Man this linux stuff is hard...
Hey btw you wouldn't happen to know why this other game (Vitamin Quest 2) won't recognize that I have the RPGMaker RTP? Is that another Linux special call for Launch Options like this one was?

If you use WINE it should install globally, but on Steam client, each game/program is all isolated. What you can do is install the relevant RPGM runtime install executable, and then WITHOUT DELETING it, swap and run the game executable.

I finally figured it out after poking around and reading old ass reddit posts! I'll put both solutions here to consolidate it for any future people so they don't have to dig around as much either.

FOR STEAMDECK USERS WHO DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH WINE! nothing against wine I just didn't want to use it

If you want to run a game but it needs JP locale to run: Follow this guide, specifically step 2, then after you have installed the locale to your machine, in Launch Options for the game that needs it type: LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 %command%. Remember, You need to do it for Each Game that needs JP locale, just having it doesn't work unless you type the italicized code in Launch Options.

If you want to run a game but it doesn't work without a RPGMaker RTP: Get it from the RPGMaker website and run the installer as usual, make sure you download it somewhere you can find it later cause you need to copy the contents of the RTP into the game manually. From there open up the Game.ini with a text editor and delete the line that says RTP=RPGVXAce. Just delete the whole line. As far as I can tell it stops telling the game it needs the runtime package to even open the game and calls the assets it needs from the rtp internally, just make sure to go over the files again with the original game's datafiles or else the game will run but might call the wrong symbols.

Arch user trying to play Lilith's Throne here.
I installed jre-openjdk and then ran java -jar LilithsThrone_0_4_10_7.jar
and the error I got was the following:
Error: Could not find or load main class com.lilithsthrone.main.Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

What can I do about this?
