Great news for Gnu Linux users! Starting wine version 1.7.53 above, you should be able to run Miku Miku Dance version 64bit with MME effect features! The MME effect also compatible with 32bit version but why would you ever want to use 32bit version anyway. I'm running on opengl mode and there are very few fx files which were incompatible to use with this mode. I'm not sure about other users, maybe they could try switch to gdi mode in order to fix this. Afaik, I'm having no luck getting my wine working with gdi mode as it crashed before the program even started.
Anyway, in this thread I'm gonna show you how to setup MME effect on 64 bit version of MMD running on PlayonLinux
1. You can download this english version of MMD64 here https://jii.moe/VJxPCKTWx.zip which literally works for my pc.
2. Once you have the file, start of your PlayOnLinux program and go to Configure then create a virtual drive 64bit installation for your MMD64.
3. Select the new virtual drive MMD64 you created > go to Miscellaneous tab > click on 'Open program's directory' > go to Program Files then place your 'MikuMikuDanceE_v803' folder there.
4. Go to General tab > Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive > then select MikuMikuDance.exe which comes with miku icon.
5. Go back to Miscellaneous tab, click on 'Open a Shell' > type "winetricks" and run it. If you don't have winetricks, please do install it from your Distro repository or other sources because this piece of thing is really important to have.
6. 'Select the default wine prefix' and click OK button
7. Go to install DLL component and install d3d9, d3d10, d3d11_42, d3d11_43, allcodecs, vcrun 2005 and vcrun2008. Finish the process and continue.
8. Select 'install a font' and install consolas, corefonts, takao, unifont. (Incase If MMD randered the font very wierdly I would suggest you to download MS Gothic font somewhere on the internet and place it into your ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/MMD64/drive_c/windows/Fonts folder.)
9. Once finished, exit wineprefix and go to 'Open program's directory' again in the Miscellaneous tab then go to your MMD folder.
10. Rename all the dll files to lower case, for instant MMEffect.dll to mmeffect.dll etc.
11. Go to Data folder, rename MMDxShow.dll to lower case.
12. Copy The 'mmdxshow.dll' from Data folder, 'mmeffect.dll' and 'mmhack.dll' from MikuMikuDanceE_v803 folder then place it into your ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/MMD64/drive_c/windows/syswow64 folder. DO NOT copy d3d9.dll from your MMD folder into your ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/MMD64/drive_c/windows/syswow64 because syswow64 folder already had its own d3d9.dll file.
13. Exit from your folder manager then go back to Configure than click on 'Wine' tab, and than click on 'Configure Wine'
14. In your Wine configuration window, go to 'library tab' than type in *d3d9 in the 'New override for library' bar. then select 'Add'. Do the rest for other dlls (Eg. *mmhack, *mmeffect, *mmdxshow) and make sure all of them are set to (Native then builtin) override mode. After finish, click apply.
15. Next go to Application tab and change Windows version to Windows 7 then click apply. (not sure about this step, you could try running on XP and see whether theres much difference.)
16. Exit from your Wine Configuration window then go to your Display tab. Set everything as following : GLSL Support=enable, Direct Draw Renderer=opengl (I got error when set this up to gdi, not sure about you) Video Memory Size=4096, Offscreen randering mode=fbo, Rander target mode lock=readtex, Multisampling=default, Strict Draw Ordering=default.
17. Done, enjoy MMD on gnu linux.
