Compatibility List
A Visual Novel Compatibility List
Assertions
We made a default set of assumptions when producing this list, which we will go over briefly.
General Assertions
1. Unless a game is specifically marked with 18+, we are talking about the all-ages version(s).
1.5. A game with an all-ages and 18+ version will have 18+ differences in the notes field.
2. Japanese Locale is enabled for every platform where it is needed.
3. Compatibility ratings are the same ones that are used on Proton DB
Linux-based Assertions
1. You have followed our guide on getting set up.
2. ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/vn32 and ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/vn64 should be your basic wineprefixes (more in #4).
3. In lutris, we use system wine & winetricks, enable DXVK/D3D Extras,
disable screen saver, and reduce pulseaudio latency unless noted otherwise.
4. A basic prefix has mimeassoc=off, fontsmooth=rgb, and wine-breeze colors imported to the registry, and nothing else.
