Where would I go about looking for banner images in these relative form factors for visual novels in general? My lutris screen looks pretty ugly right now and I'd like to pretty it up some.

Per https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/22200, I have gone and made a DokuWiki that we as a community can build together. I, unfortunately, know very little about what specifically I'm doing with wiki software, particularly when it comes to making things look pretty.

For now, the to-do list looks like:

• make sure others can sign up and contribute
• initialize visualnovels namespace with placeholder content
• pull in / rewrite content suggested in https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/comment/92413

I look forward to working together with all of you!

Link does not contain any NSFW content at all, but tagging just in case, given that most of Visual Novel community relate it to +18 content, too.

Years ago, this file/folder database was created by someone who did work in collaboration with me, to track most of the visual novels that made it into the scene, mostly from Japanese P2P + Mikocon/2DJGAME and ScarletMoon chinese "BBS" site.

Just wanted to share this to let everyone know that this data was sorted by company name + using VNDB's API at same time.

**PS: **the site only shows text and filenames, as a reference to what we did manage to scrape from all the scene and keep a record of it, so it can be used as a reference for anyone that has any of those files (for example, if you happen to have a matching filename but want to know if does have different size than ours). Just to make clear there is no download links, while you can find for sure some, being shared at other known sites, or even at IA, since redump users have been working hard on that end to share dumps of old software in the recent years.

What realistic options do we have for making a copy of this wiki here on lemmy? Am I going to have to spin up a DokiWiki? Repurpose my WordPress blog to post some of these articles? I'm open to suggestions, too.

For me, Yume Miru Kusuri was my first visual novel. I don't even remember why I played it, but I liked it so much that I'm here forever now.

What steps, if any, do you guys take on the linux distribution of your choice to play visual novels?

I, personally, set the following in my .bashrc

alias vn='env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine start '

so I can just type vn gameExecutable.exe and usually just have the game work.

For the games I've had for a while, I have .desktop entries in my $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications directory with more specific commands as needed.

If you guys have any other tricks up your sleeves, please feel free to share them here.
