"Select the default wineprefix" -> "Install a font" ->
check
cjkfonts

as usual, unpack
sudo mount game.iso /mnt
sudo cp -r /mnt/* game/
LC_ALL="ja_JP.UTF-8" TZ="Asia/Tokyo" wine game.exe
wineserver --kill
- if error along the lines of "disk not plugged in"
- try restarting
-
if that doesn't work, use
cdemu
sudo pacman -S cdemu-client cdemu-daemon
cdemu-daemon
cdemu load 0 game.iso
lsblk
-
for me, either
/dev/sr0
or /dev/sr1
,
check by file size / run lsblk
before loading and
after
- mount
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
winecfg
-
"Drives" -> "Add...", pick arbitrary letter ("E:" is
typical), change "Path:" or click on "Browse..." to
/mnt
-
run game as usual, hopefully
just works
