I tried getting it to run via wine but eventually caved and just used my VM. LiveMaker games are very annoying to run.
Incase you want to try to get it to run anyways, heres what DIDN'T work for me, to save you some time:
- Installing cjkfonts (both via winetricks and manually)
- Using 32-bit winearch instead
- Using ShiftJIS locale
- Setting PFX to old windows version (XP) in winecfg
- LC_ALL="ja_JP.UTF-8" TZ="Asia/Tokyo" wine
All in clean prefixes using wine 8.9
If you do get it to work, please tell me how
otherwise, just use a VM, it'll save you the hassle
