Get winetricks and HOOT This depends on your distro, please pick a suitable method on installing winetricks. [Tutorials on installing HOOT can be viewed here](http://snesmusic.org/hoot/v2/faq.php#hoot) ## Step2. Get necessary libraries Run following commands to install Microsoft XML3 and Visual C++ 2015 runtime. `d3dx9` and `msxml3` are for replacing Wine's implementation. Wine's implementiation for DirectX can't render text correctly and XML parser doesn't really work well with japanese characters. `fakejapanese` explans itself, it's for Japanese fonts. ```sh winetricks -q d3dx9 fakejapanese msxml3 vcrun2015 ``` ## Step 3. Edit config file Change `language` to random string to use english interface and make sure `display_method` is `1` which represents Direct3D. ```ini display_method = 1 language = english.lng ``` ## Step 4. Done! Now you finished HOOT installation, just run it and you're ready to go :D
