Update: I got some WINE apps to work! They now successfully connect to the native Linux initiface server!!
I tested out multiple WINE versions and one that worked for me is named “w3c-6.19”. I believe more versions work than just this one, so try out a few yourself.
You need to install the dotnet48 dependency for the connection to work. More might be required, but this single dependency made things work for me. If it ends up not working after installing it, try install vcredist too.
I’ve only tested two apps so far, one works, the other doesn’t. The one that doesn’t work crashes when it tries to execute the “InitfaceCLI.exe” file - I think this can be fixed, so if any devs are watching and want an error log, let me know. It’s not all that informative however.
The other app did work, and that was the RPG Maker buttplug plugin.
I’m going to test out some more apps, if I discover anything interesting I’ll post it here.
