I found a copy of flyable heart on rutracker, but when trying to run it the font is garbled and after clicking OK on the textbox at 1:21 in this video nothing happens. Nothing useful in the log. I'm not sure whether the crack (I think one is included?) or wine is having a problem with it. I think you'd probably be a lot more of an expert in this area than I am, unfortunately.
Ah, yes, you do need to configure WINE to display Japanese characters before you can run most Japanese visual novels.
You'll want to make sure
ja_JP.UTF-8
is uncommented in/etc/locale.gen
and that you've runlocale-gen
afterward. You also need some Japanese fonts installed to display the characters: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Localization/Japanese#FontsUse
LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8
when invokingwine
.That's probably all you need at a basic level to get characters displayed, but there's a more complete setup here: https://learnjapanese.moe/vn-linux/
Yes, I suppose this is somewhat obscure. Oh well - I can get the DMM games working in a Windows virtual machine, and most visual novels run slow, but otherwise mostly fine without dedicated graphics.
