Yeah I get that when trying to run it in firefox too.
Works fine using NWJS though. See the first post in this thread for instructions. (Just played the new 1.1.1e4 version for an hour or so and only problem was needing to copy/rename one audio file because of capitalisation mismatch.)
Capacitor in those spoilered instructions I noticed that deio has had their account deleted so the final 'this guide' link goes nowhere useful - probably should delete it.

Guess I have to. Unfortunate, since most RPGM MV games run just fine in Firefox.

I have some questions regarding native linux porting:
1. RPGM MV games.
I've read that you need to use NW.js version equivalent to the version of the engine that the game was made with, but in the OP it says that you need to use the latest version. I'm currently using v0.67.1 which works but is slow. I tried later versions and it broke some games.
In general is it best to keep with the latest versions of nw.js for performance benefits, or to stick with the old version that works but may be slower?
2. RPGM MZ games.
3. Unity.
OP says
----
Regarding these scripts
nwjs directory is empty in your zip file, does that mean I can use the latest version?
So to determine that the game is an MZ game you should look if it has a /js directory?
Also I don't see any more specific lines for MZ games in your scripts, does that mean that an ordinary stable version of nw.js will be enough to run them?
Wait, $dir is only used for cheat menu..
so that means MZ games can be run with NW.js just like MV games? just run ./nw then?
also that means MZ games have a /js directory but don't have a /www directory?

So you can play mz games using a "custom build of nwjs"? Any more information? How can you determine that it is an MZ game, and not for example VX ACE game?
3. Unity.
OP says
I have MangaGamer visual novels for windows made in Unity, that were also ported to linux, but I don't have the linux binary, and can't find information as for what archeticture it was even compiled. Is there a way to try and port windows version to linux assuming assets are the same between windows and linux versions?

Code:
# copy nwjs over
cp -r ~/.local/rpgm_nw/nwjs/* $PWD
Code:
# RPGM MZ
elif [ -d $PWD/js ]; then
dir=$PWD

Most rpg-mv and mz games work with nwjs without any issue. I am using .69.
The usual issues nwjs i face and the fixes,
For Unity and other types, i use wine. 99% of the games works fine with wine

- Videos does not play or games crash when playing videos (The Office Wife) - fix is replace ffmpeg.so with the one from
You must be registered to see the links. Use the same version of nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt as the your nwjs version. This because the ffmpeg included with nwjs is just a dummy version, because of mpeg patent.
- case sensitive file name issue - either use a fat partition or filecase plugin (the plugin in available one of the previous page - https://f95zone.to/threads/playing-on-linux-tutorials-tools-and-help.19523/post-8844481) or wine
- compiled java script (The Island) - No fix. Use wine

I run those games in a virtual machine without hardware acceleration, so would strongly prefer native
there are only so many virtualizaton layers that you can stack on top of each other before you get embarassed by an rpgm porn game heating your CPU to 70°C
"I tried later versions and it broke some games." - sir, which games were broken?
How exactly?
Please, send me the screenshots of Your issues.
Grateful for Your reply.
So ok MZ games have css/js etc folders usually in root and MV have a slightly different structure, it's easy to tell. And yes you can find rmmz scripts inside the js folder when it's MZ. I've had a slightly better experience with the latest nwjs when it comes to MZ performance, but old official MV build in fact can run modern MZ games as well, it just lags more. Do note official nwjs build doesn't have a support for h264 encoded files required by some games, so it's awfully inconvenient and you have to rely on that random person who does not provide updates in time. Or you could build it yourself, I guess.
When it comes to MV games, I usually use the latest MV build for the max performance, it's normally fine even if the game originally comes with the much more ancient revision (not to mention single-process switch doesn't work anymore and I need it for performance), but can heavily leak the memory on the scene change. Sometimes you have to play with the switches or update the shader scripts (it's very rare).
Previous versions like VXAce had a different folder structure and you can tell the engine by the file inside 'System' folder and some file extensions like rgss3a, you either use wine(staging) to play it, or there was an alternative native engine I never tried.
I was able to play ~100% of Unity games usually with no issues at all and full hardware acceleration thanks to the wine-staging, just install dxvk (or sometimes disable it instead).
It might be worth mentioning that electron gives a much better game performance, but not every plugin is compatible so I wouldn't recommend to try it unless your favorite game is utterly unplayable due to frame drops. I've heard some people use firefox, since it does provide a proper hardware acceleration nowadays, but I guess it's the same problem, more or less.
If you ever experience problems with the file names case sensitivity it's preferable to use chattr +F and an ext4 partition with casefold option enabled.

any nwjs version always worked for me.
MZ games don't have the www/ directory, instead all the files and directories that are usually in www/ directory, are in the main directory.
If you don't want to add cheat menu, all you need are the first 2 lines
Bash:
# delete all windows executables and libraries
find . -type f -iregex '.*\.\(exe\|dll\)' -delete
# copy nwjs over
cp -r ~/.local/rpgm_nw/nwjs/* $PWDOf course the directory you store nwjs in can be anywhere, just change it to your preference.

It was some time ago, I don't remember particulars
The usual black screen with failed to load something message.
I will try the latest nwjs version with my games and post screenshots if I encounter errors again.

Wondering if anyone is familiar with discoloration and weird graphics display issues? E.g., for Breeders of the Nephelym, the colors are dark & contrast is low. For Honey Select 2, character cards are basically black. For Solas City Heroes, the characters don't render, and show up as censor boxes (clothes and UI appear fine). Anyway, the gist is that the games run, but don't look right.
I'm guessing it's either my graphics card or driver. Driver is 390, pretty old, but I'd tried upgrading a couple times and it caused problems (one game worked better, but others stopped working). Card is GeForce GTX 960.
(For some reason, I usually don't get those issues on my laptop, which has a 940MX, and driver also hasn't been upgraded in a while).
Anyway, I'm open to getting whatever good graphics card works on an X99, but thought I'd ask around before opening up the wallet.
Of course, both PC and Laptop are Ubuntu (20.04). PC has wine wine-8.0-rc3 (Staging), and Laptop has wine-6.2 (Staging)
See, this is why I avoid upgrading. Stuff often works better on the old stuff, in my experience. To a limit... you won't see me on Windows 3.1 anymore

I have the same display problems that you describe when using Nvidia GPU (390 driver too, GeForce 720M). In my case, it was in The Twist, The Night Driver and Last Hope. It is only with 3D graphics and when using Wine though.

I would recommend trying to set up those game with Lutris. There you can choose from multiple Wine versions (including GloriousEggroll releases). You can also set up Wine prefix for each game separately and DXVK support is available to you from the get-go. Your post does not mention if you are using DXVK or not, but I personally have seen a lot of graphic glitches if you run games only with Wine and without DXVK.

Hey thanks, forgot about dxvk. Do you know what version(s) of dxvk you are using? I can try that as a starting point. I wouldn't jump to lutris just yet, since I'm used to dealing with wine directly, so wouldn't benefit much from convenience.
try adding graphics driver ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
i have really old computer and still got 515 from the repo

My GPU is a 720M (NVIDIA Corporation GF117M), so I can use only the .390 version.

I tried again The Twist and The Night Driver.
The Twist now works fine (version 0.51), without problems with the colors. The Night Driver have the same problems with colors, but I discover that running with
-force-feature-level-10-1 or -force-feature-level-10-0 fix the problem.

Problem... "solved". Actually, my main laptop died... I researched and ordered a new custom build within 30 mins (priorities, lol), and in the meantime put the old laptop's SSD in the desktop. Which included the laptop wine prefix. I forgot that I did a lot of work setting up the laptop wine prefix, and was able to run things just fine with it from the desktop. I think I had vulkan setup correctly there, among who knows what else.
Off topic, but because I've looked everywhere else; Is there a way to get Vortex Mod Manager running and operational on Pop!_os? I've tried what I could find but nothing.
