I checked on the wine github, and apparently it is erroring out in an XAudio2 call. Mentions a movq instruction/ref to xaudio2_9.
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%
Attempted to install VC2015 runtimes, and install faudio.
So, apparently it doesn't matter WHAT Proton version you run, the XAudio2 bug is going to make the game unusable until fixed.
Everything works incredibly-well! Right down to the controller support! Makes a wonderful addition to the number of arcade ports and arcade-styled games to play in Proton!
Needs to start, and then quit before FMVs will play, but this old high school favorite of mine works FAR better than in the Windows version (which needed numerous patches just to start). Also, via my Hori Fighting Commander, the game plays just as if it was on the original PS1.
Even the fan patches provided in the discussions have made it even nicer.
Not a single issue with the initial testing. Game worked pretty well, controller support and all. No issues with latency or game speed.
Game worked right out of the box, controller support and all! Been playing a lot of the Blue Sphere bonus levels to unlock things.
Enabled heat shimmering effects in config.
To restore EAX audio, download prebuilt dsoal dlls and place into game folder. Then use "protontricks 207320 dsound openal" to enable the needed overrides, and the EAX2 option should no longer be greyed out. EAX confirmed working in any cavern type area.
