    Running FFR on Linux

    Note for Chromebook users: Unless your Chromebook uses an Intel chip and has Linux installed in it via Crouton, this post can't help you. You could try these methods to get Windows software running.

    The following are the steps for running FFR on Linux.
    Basic experience with using a terminal is required.
    Make sure you have sudo installed.

    1. Installing and configuring wine:

    In a terminal, referring to the distro you use, run the following commands:

    Debian- and Ubuntu-based distros (e.g. Linux Mint):
    1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 (add support for running 32-bit software)
    2. sudo apt update
    3. sudo apt install wine

    Arch Linux-based distros (e.g. Manjaro):
    sudo pacman -S wine

    Fedora:
    1. sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/XX/winehq.repo (replace 'XX' with the version of Fedora you're using, e.g. 31)
    2. sudo dnf install winehq-stable

    Other Linux distros:
    If the instructions above didn't work for you, or you use a Linux distribution that isn't listed above, select an installation guide from WineHQ that corresponds to the Linux system you use.

    wine can be configured with winecfg (in a terminal) to your liking.

    2. Installing FFR:

    Unzip and put the FFR files into a directory in drive_c.
    (Note: You don't actually have to put them in drive_c; wine works for files outside of drive_c as long as you give it the correct file path. This post assumes that you've unzipped them into this folder. If they're unpacked somewhere else, change the relevant file paths displayed below accordingly.)

    3a. Running FFR (in the terminal):

    Run wine "[/unix_path/to/]R3Air.exe" (something like "/home/[user]/.wine/drive_c/[user]/Saved Games/R3Air.exe").
    EXAMPLE: Let's say the game's stored in /home/user/Documents/R3Release/. You would type wine "/home/user/Documents/R3Release/R3Air.exe".

    3b. Running FFR (via an app launcher, recommended):

    1. Copy the icons in the FFR icons directory (NOT the directory itself!) into /usr/share/icons.
    2. Make a file named 'R3.desktop' in /usr/share/applications.
    3. In the file, insert the following:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Type=Application
    Name=R3
    Comment=FFR
    Exec=wine "[/unix_path/to/]R3Air.exe"
    Icon=ffr_[size].png

    4. Add the launcher to your desktop, panel or menu.
    5. Click the launcher to run FFR.

    Improving gameplay performance:

    The gameplay might be a bit choppy and the game FPS might be lower than what you've specified.

    Other than experimenting with different builds from the downloads page, you could try using the following versions of the rCubed engine:

    64-bit builds:
    1.3.1: https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...Release.64.zip
    1.3.0: https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...Release.64.zip
    1.2.4: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....4.Release.zip
    1.1.1: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....Release.2.zip
    OT 1.0.1: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....1.Release.zip
    OT 1.0.0: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....0.Release.zip

    32-bit builds:
    1.3.1: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...3.1.Custom.zip
    1.3.0: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...3.0.Custom.zip
    1.2.5: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...2.5.Custom.zip
    0.0.8: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....8.Release.zip

    You could also try turning VSync (vertical synchronization) on or off in the settings for:
    1. Your distro
    2. Your Nvidia graphics card
    3. The game

    Enjoy!

    Don't hesitate to point out any mistakes in the instructions!
    All suggestions are welcome!

    Contact me:

    If you have trouble getting the game to work on Linux, feel free to contact me in this thread, in my profile page, via PMs or ping me in the FFR Discord (andrew_wcy#0993).
    I'd be happy to help!

      Nice post! Someone should sticky this. I used to run Ubuntu but had to settle for playing in browser. Eventually I caved and switched back to Windows (for other reasons).

              My only real complaint about this guide is that I feel you should have just directly linked various install guides from winehq, because they already spent a significant amount of effort keeping those guides up to date. With some notes of course, giving advice on which version to install between stable/devel/staging

                  I just needed wine64, which most distros should have just sitting around. No winetricks or needing to worry about development versions or anything like that.

                          Out of curiosity, is Legacy also supported on Chromebook or no?

                              Thanks for the suggestion! I have added a link to installation guides WineHQ has written.

                              I'm not sure but I don't think so... the Legacy and Velocity engines are no longer updated and might be taken offline one day, so there's a chance there are bugs in these engines that cause them to not run properly anymore. Besides, one would need to find a way to run these engines either through browser Flash or Flash Player Projector, both of which aren't quite easy to get working on ChromeOS.

                                      If you're getting the error

                                      Code:
                                      X Error of failed request:  GLXBadFBConfig
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  369
  Current serial number in output stream:  369
                                      the workaround is

                                      Code:
                                      export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.4

                                              surprised this game works so well on the old penguin os
                                              native client would be sick though

                                                      Works good on Arch in terms of stability and I have no lagspikes, but my audio is stuttering as hell.
                                                      EDIT: Audio stuttering is gone, but now scroll speed at the start of the chart is too fast
