Hey I was trying to set up archipelago to run a Chrono Trigger - Jets of Time randomizer file, and it needs a lua script to run to connect to archipelago. I couldn’t find a single SNES emulator with lua scripting enabled such as SNES9x-rr on windows. I tried just running that through proton but the lua scripts would not function. New to Linux so idk much on compiling shit natively or if I would need dependencies or to add something to wine/proton for lua to work or if there is an app image or something already that I could easily install that I didn’t see with a quick search.
update: Okay, seems maybe with proton can get stuff running but the lua won’t work. Seems I can get it to try and run it, but runs into some issue with a .dll and not being able to find “main” or whatever. Can’t find any flatpack/appimg for a native emulator with a lua injector, and idk if I can install cuz sudo apt doesn’t work on it and idk enough to figure out how I’m supposed to get and compile shit. Soooo, heck.
Edit: forgot to mention incase it matters, running Bazzite 42.
Emulators aren’t platform specific though. If one is built for Windows with a specific set of features, they’re also going to run on Linux with those specific set of features
What you’re asking about is an Emulator that does the thing you need, so as I pointed out, it’s not a Linux thing, it’s an Emulator thing.
Nvm, now seems like maybe I can get the windows bizhawk version working but it won’t run to lua script correctly, again probably a “this isn’t windows” issue but, fuck if I know.
