Running MMD on Asahi Linux

I got MMD & MME working on Asahi Linux! I used Steam & Proton for this setup.

Unlike in macOS, you can have proper Vulkan, and DXVK works perfectly!

When I installed MME, it crashed with “Initialization Error”, but after installing d3dx9_43 (native, builtin) and d3dcompiler_43 (native) via winetricks, it worked on Proton 9.0-4.

this is similar to what you have to do when using BepInEx under Wine/Proton.

On regular Linux x86_64 install, protontricks should work just fine, but because I’m on ARM, some shell scripting was needed.

Also, you probably have to set to Japanese locale/language like this:

export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8;export LC_ALL="ja_JP"
