smozoma Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think Wine works? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wboy Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) After you've installed Wine on your preferred Linux distribution, simply download and install the Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Run-Time also and the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls (as would also be recommended/required for any Windows based OS).# Tested on Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (xenial) - Xfce Desktop Environment. Should also work on any Debian or Ubuntu based distribution including Linux Mint.- Open a Terminal Emulator window. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install -y wine $ winecfg - Click OK when the Wine configuration dialog eventually appears. $ cd Desktop/ $ wget -v https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/a/d/5ad868a0-8ecd-4bb0-a882-fe53eb7ef348/VB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe $ wine VB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe - Click YES and extract it to the user's Desktop folder as seen within Wine (e.g. Z:\home\wboy\Deskop) $ wine vbrun60sp6.exe - Disregard the Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Run-Time install errors displayed as most of the files already exist within ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 $ wget -v https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/a/5/3a5925ac-e779-4b1c-bb01-af67dc2f96fc/VisualBasic6-KB896559-v1-ENU.exe $ wine VisualBasic6-KB896559-v1-ENU.exe - Click YES (& YES again) to install the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls- Copy nose1.2b.zip to the Desktop- Extract nose1.2b.zip to effectively create the folder ~/Desktop/nose1.2b/ - Change to the folder in your terminal window and run NOSE within Wine! $ cd nose1.2b/ $ wine nose.exe - Alternatively just double click the nose.exe from within your file manager.- Probably makes no real performance difference within Wine but you can also decompress the supplied (and upx'ed) nose.exe using: $ sudo apt-get install -y upx-ucl $ mv nose.exe nose_upx.exe $ upx -d nose_upx.exe -onose.exe # Bugs I've noticed so far:- Launching a second instance of NOSE [F9] works, but pressing it again won't bring the other instance back to focus. - You can cut and paste goalies/players/lines etc. within the open ROM, but not between two open instances (clipboard handling within NOSE would need to be simplified I'm guessing). - Wine always presents a Program Error when you close the last instance of NOSE! I haven't yet cared to check the Wine logs exactly why so, as it seems to happily open/edit/save ROMs.# Originally Referenced Download Links: - Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0: Run-Time Redistribution Pack (vbrun60sp6.exe) [VB6.0-KB290887-X86.SP6.exe] @ https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=24417 - Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls [VisualBasic6-KB896559-v1-ENU.exe] @ https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=10019 Edited November 3, 2016 by wboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depch Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Oh wow, thank you for this very thorough guide. This came just on time for me as well as I just installed Linux mint 18 for basic use on my old laptop and run Windows XP for Gens then. Much appreciated, now I just need to boot whenever I'm just going to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wboy Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 No probs.... please report any issues or bugs you may find running NOSE via Wine for all. I only did very brief testing within NOSE itself and found those things... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
