Game works after installing d3dcompiler_46 using Protontricks

Tinker Steps:protontricks

protontricks 366280 d3dcompiler_46

Out of the box there is no video (just a black screen). One has to install d3dcompiler_46 using Protontricks to fix the video.

Example on how to using terminal install flatpak protonticks and d3dcompiler_46:

flatpak install flathub com.github.Matoking.protontricks
flatpak override --user --filesystem=/mnt/Games/SteamLibrary/ com.github.Matoking.protontricks
flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks 366280 d3dcompiler_46

Replace the filesystem path with the path to your own steamlibrary

To Solve Black Screen look for a copy of the D3Dcompiler_46.dll inside your computer (i.e. inside Metal Slug 3 or X) and copy it in the root folder of the game (../steamapps/common/TWINKLE STAR SPRITES)

credit to user Nothor for givin me the idea on his report of metal slug...
