(YA Linux) Pso BB Install

[zeroz]

Hey All,
Saw the recent lutris install thread and it is great and quite informative. Thanks @DCeric


I'm the dude on this forum and reddit whos been posting how to install this game on android for the past yearish(tho still not enough people having a seamless experience haha)

I wanted to show my native linux install script of ephinea on linux. WHICH I do really recommend if you steamdeck and linux people are open to try!
I use linux daily for the past MANY years.

Under the hood it installs ephinea in a wine prefix on all linux systems, and does not require lutris or any custom wine versions. Whatever comes with your linux should work.
It also adds system command line bindings and installs "native" desktop shortcuts confirmed on gnome and kde.

Its a "run the script once and it does everything" type of install. Nothing to worry about.

Main advantages....1. installs as a "native" app on linux, won't have to worry about wine or wine tools or any configurations that may change. 2. code compatibility with android due to using same underlying base wine .batch scripting. 3. system wine implementation makes this portable on all OS without custom wine mgmt. 4. Desktop icon auto install for launcher and executable.

Basically i've wanted more people to use my project not just for android, and i think its refined enough you all will like it. Thank you! (if not please leave an angry issue on my github).

Thanks for the mention. Your script sounds like the most excellent way of playing. It's really difficult to find the perfect way of getting things to work on Linux when there's always different tutorials and there's no main fix. You either get what you get or you try the next one. I like the fact yours installs without having to use Lutris which seems to be a pretty buggy launcher. Hey I like it but it is what it is.

Also not sure if this is an issue for everyone else but I have Python 3 installed and had to use "python3" as the default executable. So command would be "python3 pso.py -i". Couldn't get the Mint launcher shortcut to open Ephinea Launcher or game. Played in 4k it ran pretty bad lol. Ran in 1080p and it was perfect. Ran fast with DX9 however graphical issues. Vulkan ran very slow with great graphics.
