nah, you should be fine. but I have a hard time reading your words so assuming what problem you have here.(I am a linux user btw but I find my ways) the main reason you can't patch/run/install the game correctly is because 1. you need JP fonts installed on your Linux distro(and no, not the WINE ones) 2. it needs to be put in the right environment 3. the 'notkey' file is to contain the base game(aka TPDP) Make sure to get these requirements(on Linux) before you do anything to update/patch this game(not to mention this uses WINE so...eh. also please backup your files) I will give a couple of commands(well just one but...it's useful) env LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine '<INSERT_FILE_NAME_HERE>' there are maybe better alternatives to this but I use this, So, to install patches/update the game first we cd Path/to/file //note : it would be best to keep them in .wine/drive_c/Program\ files then use the command mentioned above to install the update, which will be done like this(as this is how I've done it and for efficiency's sake and also please put the patch files in the exact same folder as the game) //note : for the SoD version env LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine 'enbu_ap1000_1102.exe' env LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine 'enbu_ap1102_1103.exe' then afterwards you can install the translation patch(do I have to mention how to install it? nah, you already know..I hope)and to start the game you just cd Path/to/file env LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine '幻想人形演舞-ユメノカケラ-.exe' //or what ever name it maybe that should get you set up to play it on linux(ubuntu distro...haven't tested it yet with other distros yet) after some cleaning, it should look like this(more or less)
