- Supposing the game is downloaded as an
.exe file
- Install PlayOnLinux
- Download appropriate RPG Maker version RTP: https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package
- Launch PlayOnLinux and "install a non listed program"
- "Install program in a new Virtual Drive"
- Select the RTP exe to launch the install in the virtual drive
- Don't create short cut (unnecessary)
- Download and copy the game folder into the virtual drive (is the win user folder probably), which, from your linux home folder, is probably located in
/home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/rmxp/drive_c/
- Go to "Configure"
- Select the previously created Virtual Disk
- Click "Create a new shortcut" and make it point to the game
.exe and voilà!
Apparently RPG Maker XP might not display text. It needs some windows font. To fix this, look for and install "Microsoft core fonts" on your linux. [1]
