the supercard slot 2 patcher DOES work in wine.
make sure you have the latest version (or well. i'm pretty sure it worked in the earlier versions)
the thing is though, you have to execute the patcher with wine from inside the directory, otherwise you get this weird error.
so usually you install it in your fake c drive... which is usually located in ~/.wine/drive_c/
~/ being your home directory.
so cd (or go into) ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SC directory and wine the SuperCardmicrosd.exe from there
or make a script
use your favorite text editor (gedit, mousepad, vim, nano) whatever with root priviledges
something like (lets base it off of a gnome ubuntu system - but it should work for a generic linux distro)
do - "sudo gedit /usr/bin/supercard"
paste this inside
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SC
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
var="`echo $1 | sed 's/\//\\\/g'`"
var="Z:${var}"
wine SuperCardmicrosd.exe "$var"
else
wine SuperCardmicrosd.exe
fi
and then save it (moddified from a file used to execute utorrent. you could probably change it to execute utorrent easily
haha)
then do "sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/supercard" to make it executable
so if you type "supercard" in your terminal or f2 and put it in the command box, it'll work.
in short - wine with supercard software works. (i dont use it anymore since i dont have a slot 2, but man. that thing rocked. it lasted a long time and its still alive!)
well. if you dont want to use sudo, you probably already know how to get root privildges, so whatever. this is just one way.
if you dont have sudo, you can just do "su" to change to root. and then enter the commands without sudo.
hm... and thehunter8478, welcome to the chaotic world of linux. haha
well. there probably is an easier way, and maybe just installing it through wine works. but this is how it worked for me. so yeah. (archlinux ftw!)
