Installation

Warning

You MUST be connected to the internet before beginning installation!

1. Copy the script to your device
2. Run the script as root
3. Wait for the installation to complete

Note

Installation process can take 90-120 minutes depending on your internet connection. This will be reduced for future versions

Usage

After installation, you can launch Wine through:

/mnt/mmc/Roms/APPS/wine_desktop.sh

Any ISO's within the directory /mnt/sdcard/wine/isos can be mounted by calling

/mnt/mmc/Roms/APPS/wine_mount_isos.sh

The script will:

• Start an X server
• Launch QJoyPad for controller support
• Open Wine Explorer

Note

Users should be comfortable with Wine and Winetricks if they want to install additional software or modify configurations.

Known Issues

Warning

• Improper shutdown can cause Wine to corrupt its configuration files, requiring a restore from backup
• Some applications may require manual Winetricks configuration
• Wine shell closes once the last application exits. This is apparently a limitation of WINE itself, so unfortunately I can't do anything about it

Controller Mapping

The default controller mapping is configured as follows:

• D-Pad: Mouse movement
• A: A
• B: B
• X: X
• Y: Y
• L1: Left Mouse Click
• R1: Right Mouse Click
• L2: Scroll Down
• R2: Scroll Up
• Menu: Escape
• Select: Backspace
• Start: Enter

Troubleshooting

If Wine fails to start:

1. Check /tmp/wine_startup.log for error messages
2. Restore Wine configuration from /root/wine.recovery.tar.xz
3. Ensure sufficient storage space is available

Notes

• Windows XP mode is enabled by default for maximum compatibility
• Display resolution is set to 640x480
• Wine debug messages are disabled for better performance

Limitations

• Not all Windows applications will work due to hardware limitations
• Performance may vary depending on the application
• Some 3D applications may not function properly
