Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?
Proton will make almost anything work. There are more than a few different approaches but if you need a gui/simplified all-in-one tool I can’t recommend lutris enough.
It will now. You just have to do some poking. You need vinegar installed (It’s on flathub if you’re a flatpak user.) Tell wine to use vulkan instead of DXVK (mkdir -p ~/.var/app/io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar/config/vinegar/ && { echo “[player]”; echo “dxvk = false”; echo “renderer = "Vulkan"”; } >> ~/.var/app/io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar/config/vinegar/config.toml ) for flatpak again. And then boom. roblox running. no issues.
Vimm.net seems to be entirely comprised of emulators.
I found it on c/crackwatch. It links to this predb site which prompts you to download a text file that has the same instructions in it as the website. The first instruction says “extract”. Extract what? It also says I have to change firewall settings so the game can’t connect to the internet and I’ve no idea how to do that.
I don’t see Tony Hawk or any other games on that megathread site.
All these torrent sites just seem to link back and forth to each other.
Search results for a good place to find Torrents turn up nothing but VPN ads.
vimm is for old console/handheld games. on the megathread link go to the games section, go to ones of the torrent sites in general purpose and look up tony hawk
If you can’t click 3-5 links within the megathread rentry link and search for one the game you want on lets say 1337, then maybe paying is more your speed
Jc141 on 1337x and LinuxRulez on torrminatorr have repacks specifically meant to work on linux. You just have to run their bash scripts and it auto decompresses the files and sets everything up for you. Make sure to follow jc141 setup guide on github to make sure you have all the dependencies installed. github.com/jc141x/jc141-bash/blob/…/readme.md
For Fitgirl and Dodi repacks, Lutris is probably the easiest. I usually setup my folders similar to jc141. GameName with 2 subfolders called game and prefix. The game folder is my working directory and my prefix folder is my prefix directory. This allows me to have different wine prefixes for each game in case some games have extra dependencies that mess with other games. I point Lutris to the installer exe and run the install then afterwards I switch it to the game exe. I usually use WineGE instead of the default Lutris option for the prefixes.
For KaOsKrew, I use a windows VM with QEMU to unpack and use sftp to transfer the files because I haven’t had any luck with getting their installer to work. I do the same with Fitgirl and Dodi repacks that have unarc errors during decompression. Then its just setting up with Lutris as normal.
You can also add non Steam games to Steam and make them use proton, I’ve only had to do this once with RE0, I couldn’t get it to run any other way.
r/linuxcracksupport might be helpful and I think they have a matrix chat too.
From their Github: Q: Why use the dwarfs format? It makes it less convenient for users. A: Our purpose is to serve a community which is involved enough to be able to follow a short setup page. It enables us to provide users with new technological features that we find useful.
