2. Upgrading & executing (system - libraries - app)

3. Fixing execution permissions

 

 

If the archive doesn't show up or you get any error, you'll need to fix it by changing some permissions:

1. Open Terminal
   
2. Install Python and GCC

   sudo apt-get install python-dev gcc

   
   

3. Now, make the file "executable"

   chmod +x /route/to/the/game.x86_64

   
   

4. If you succeded it won't appear anything (just another line waiting for new command)
   
5. Try executing double left clicking or with

   ./route/to/the/game.x86_64

4. Creating a shell script

 

1. Open your favorite text editor and create a new document
   
2. Use this code (you'll need to modify your file route)
   

   #!/bin/sh
   echo "Executing PRO"
   cd /route/to/your/game/directory
   ./route/to/the/game.x86_64

   
   

3. Save w/o any extension to your favorite place
   
4. Close editor and try to execute it

Running PRO under GNU/Linux is not difficult but needs a little advance knowledge. Anyway, if you use any distribution, it means you are familiar to its environment! Feel free to ask whatever and, please, give me a feedback if you tried it! :Shy:

Reserved for project with Raspberry Pi (WIP)

[Marcylene]

Requirements updated! (Waiting for feedbacks..) :Grin:

Added new section "Creating a shell script"

[Marcylene]

Updated and reformatted. Still no luck with RPi, it seems that will only work with emulation (Wine). I'll try to reconfigure it and keep investigating!

Thank to developers! I just made a guide :Smile:

Thanks to your and dev so !

I've made a package for Archlinux, manjaro and distro-based on arch. But the forum don't let me post the direct link... I want to share it with the community (the PKGBUILD on AUR repository don't work, and not updated)

You can download Pokemon Revolution for ArchLinux / Manjaro and distro-based here (I can post links now :Shy: ) => https://vavar60.online.fr/share/pc/gaming/prolinux/

 

If you don't have GUI software installed for install single package, you can use "yaourt -U name_of_package.tar.xz" for install it with your terminal (you can replace yaourt by pacman too). (If necessary, install dependancies "gcc-libs-multilib" and "gtk2")

 

After that, just launch Pokemon Revolution with your appmenu of your desktop environment. :)
