1 - Protontricks : Install directshow d3dx9_42 d3dx9_43 & xact 2 - Download Wmvcore.dll & WMASF.dll and place them in the game's folder (with the .exe) 3 - Install k-lite-mega-codec-pack (I did through explorer)
Game won't work on either official Proton or Glorious Eggroll (unlike what's said below)
I've been able to launch the game through Lutris (Wine Steam) though. Enable Esync & Reduse PulseAudio Latency through Lutris' options to fix audio glitches.
Controller needs to be set manually through settings
Won't work on newer versions of Proton. You need to install directshow through Protontricks to get the cutscenes to play
Aside from cutscenes, no issues so far with Monster Rancher 1. Tested through GloriousEggroll Proton-6.21-GE-2
Introduction cutscene shows a black screen.
Crashes at launch, after the Xseed & Marvelous logos
Tried with 6.3-6, Experimental, 4.11-13 & 6.16 GE-1
Still won't launch 2020-05-19
Game still doesn't launch with Proton 5.0-7 or Proton-5.8-GE-2-MF from GloriousEggroll. I tried miscellanous EAC bypass, none of them let me launch the game.
Crashes at launch on Patch #4
Tried with Proton 5.0.10, 5.13.5 and both Glorious Eggroll 5.9 & 6.0GE-1. Crashes at loading screen, before accessing game menu.
Looks like the bitmap file associated with the save gets corrupted, making the game crash on load/save.
Crash when loading/saving game
Game launched in Windows 7 mode (doesn't work otherwise). Tried with multiple new games.
