RPG Maker 2000 stuck in Shift-JIS? Anonymous 03/12/17 (Sun) 05:41:22 No.628

I've been trying to use WINE to play the older fangames after MS went to hell, but all the old games are stuck in SHIFT-JIS locale.
I've got everything running weirdly using ja_JP.UTF8 locale.
I've got reverse mojibake because unicode doesn't shift or my fonts are broken.
If it's the font, then how does an RPG Maker game store/request a font?

That's the complete opposite.
I have REVERSE mojibake.
English literals are all stuck as squares!

What he said wasn't really worthless advice. If you are using WINE, you might as well just buy a cheap used computer with Windows or get a VM to play the games with no real issues.

Are you really going to waste time that could be spent playing these fangames because "MS went to hell"? No offense, but that's really stupid.

Install Windows.

This is true, Windows is fine.

I do think, however, that everyone who wants to should install (desktop) Linux on their computer so they can discover the good sense they need to stop using it as soon as possible.

VM or GPU Passthrough if he doesn't want to dualboot Windows.

The only thing I can think of right now is "update Wine", unfortunately. I don't have this issue when running a English-translated Yume Nikki in Japanese locale (mojibake filenames are a mess, so I ran the installer in Japanese locale), but if using certain distributions, your Wine is probably extremely out of date, so that's the best guess I can give.
(If your Wine version is still 1.something, then it is definitely out of date.)
