I am running linux mint ver 18 and when I try to launch nesmaker under wine, it just flashes a window and closes automatically. Any help is appreciated. Not sure where to start.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to try it out on my main unit right now which runs Linux Mint 18 as I'm mostly been running it under virtual box. I can't recall though if WINE has a 64-bit implementation as NESmaker has issues with 32-bit though 4.0.1 added 32-bit support and has a 32-bit version of DNA.dll. also make sure you have Mono or .net framework 4.5 or up installed. If all else fails you can also try running it under PlayOnLinux and see if that helps.

I have it working under Linux. You need to use WINE at this point (unfortunately). I'd suggest you do the following:
* Download win64 Mono from https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-win
* Then run the following commands:
* WINEPREFIX=~/.wineNESMaker wine64 msiexec /i <full path to mono-5.14.0.177-x64-0.msi>
* Follow default install options
* WINEPREFIX=~/.wineNESMaker wine64 "c:\Program Files\Mono\bin\mono" NESMaker_4_0_0.exe

That's all I did (not using Mint but Arch)

I've been avoiding WINE but I am starting to feel like trying this. Really hate using WINE though. Makes a mess.

UPDATE:
I just tried what you listed and installing Mono didn't work for me. My error:
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"LaunchConditions" returned 1603

It's fair to hate WINE, but I'm just trying to make it work until the NESMaker guys can get around to it. I'm working on a winepak flatpak to make it easier on people.

Awesome! Thanks for that!

Do you have any insight as to why I am getting that funky error with WINE?

Really HATE wine too!

I thought the French loved wine :lol: ... I kid, I kid

This thread will hopefully lead me to be able to run NESMaker UNTIL it gets ported to Linux. I will at least do the tutorials and determine if NESMaker is for me. :mrgreen:

I see guys you tried with the 4.0.0.0
But did someone made tests, research with the NESMaker 4.0.1 + the 32bit dna.dll ?
Here the files:
NESMaker 4.0.1:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hpgQXx_IaJVxN8qH3xkdKtFMY4PLhYno
and still the 32bit dna.dll to use with, here:

I tried it and it didn't work in the same way for me.
