SMBX under Linux (and Mac!) with PlayOnLinux/Wine

[Axiom]

SMBX38A runs well through Wineskin on macOS Sierra. the only part that I couldn't get to work was the level editor, always crashed during loading. The game itself runs though.

It uses Direct X 9 and you must have hardware acceleration, and your Wine toolchain also must have Direct X 9 installed.

I am on Mac and I use Wineskin to play SMBX. The version 1.3.0.1 works correctly but SMBX 1.4 and 2.0 are not qorking correctly.

For SMBX-38A you need to install Direct X 9 into the bottle, for SMBX2 you must turn Wine into the Windows 7 mode as LunaLoader has issues working on WinXP are wasn't fixed yet. Direct X still be needed for DirectSound that used by SDL Audio as back-end on Windows.

Yes! Take this: http://wohlsoft.ru/LunaLua/smbx.pol
Yeah, Axiom wasn't updated his page... I need to poke him for that...

I've installed PlayOnLinux 4.4.10 on Ubuntu 16.04 and the process end with an error:

Error in POL_System_unzip
POL_System_unzip failed with error 9!

Here is the full error code from POL, maybe this helps: https://pastebin.com/0Nx7Nub6

There isn't a file "LunaLUA-SMBX-latest.zip" in the folder ".PlayOnLinux//ressources" so maybe the unzip failed. I can download the file manually with wget. Can i start the process at that point again or can i do the install manually?

[MegaLuigi]

Tried it again and now i have error code 2. i tried unzip manually and i think it is a permission problem because unzip trys to unzip in /.

The line in the pol script is this

Code: Select all

POL_System_unzip "$REPERTOIRE/ressources/$zipname" -d "$wineprefix/$shortname"

but i can't figure out what i need to change here

[MegaLuigi]

No Ideas for that?

Was Wine downloaded correctly? Do you have stable network or it's sometimes breaks downloads?

[MegaLuigi]

All ok. i can run other windows apps and i can unzip the downloaded archive manually. is it correct that the mkdir command is uncommented in the script?

I had to do a couple of corrections to the original http://wohlsoft.ru/LunaLua/smbx.pol script (to prevent error codes 9 and 2, that have been reported above).

The directory for unzipping SMBX has to be created (otherwise I get error code 2), and it needs to be a different path (NOT "$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$shortname/drive_c/$shortname" as in the commented line 40 in the original script):

Code: Select all

mkdir -p "$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/$shortname"

I had to change both the source and the destination of the unzip command in line 41 as follows:

Code: Select all

POL_System_unzip "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/$zipname" -d "$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/$shortname"

Just now I have apllied your fixes and did a test at me... It's fine now, the "original" script you have referred has been updated, and now it contains your changes ;3

Also, I changed Wine version into 3.20.

It explains why the site domain is similar to your nickname Spasibo!

Tested the script again on ubuntu 18.04 and it worked without any problems with playonlinux from the ubuntu repository.

Added in 4 minutes 19 seconds:
Can i run SMBX 2.0 also on linux? i tried it without playonlinux only with wine (from ubuntu repository) and it failed. the first window opened and i selected "play episode" and thats it. the window is closed and nothing happend. there also isn't an error in the terminal.

SMBX2 is easily can be ran on the fresh Wine. The only requirement is MSVBVM6, Direct X 9, Quartz, and MSVC2015 runtime. I think, let's I'll create the PlayOnLinux script for SMBX2 too to let everyone use it easy!

A script would be great!
As a quick solution -- just unzipped SMBX2 beta4 next to where SMBX was installed (in the save virtual drive), and it should worked just fine (at least it did for me).
Note that while the map editor works great, however, the game itself is not really playable yet...

SMBX2 beta 4 isn't out yet. You probably have a fake version.
