Run New Super Ultimate Injector with Wine

nsui-via-wine.md

Installation

Prerequisites

• Winbind (e.g. sudo apt install winbind)
• Wine
• Winetricks

Install NSUI

1. Download NSUI from https://gbatemp.net/threads/discussion-new-super-ultimate-injector-nsui.500376/

2. Create a new Wine prefix and install .NET 4.6

   export WINEARCH=win32
   export WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui
   winetricks -q dotnet46
   

   ⓘ If dotnet46 installation fails, try dotnet48 instead:

   winetricks -q dotnet48
   

   ⚠️ .NET 4.6 or greater is required for the image download feature to work

3. Apply a registry fix to force .NET to use TLS 1.2

   echo 'Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
   "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
   "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001' > sslfix.reg
   wine regedit sslfix.reg
   rm sslfix.reg
   

4. Extract NSUI to Wine prefix

   unzip Release_beta27.zip
   mv Release $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/NSUI
   

5. Change the language, e.g.

   sed -i.bak 's/language=.*/language=en/' $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/NSUI/config.ini
   

   Available languages are: de, en, es, ru

Create desktop entry

1. (Optional) Extract application icon

   cd ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui/drive_c/NSUI/
   7z x New\ Super\ Ultimate\ Injector\ for\ 3DS.exe .rsrc/ICON -aoa
   cd -
   

2. Create the desktop entry

   echo "[Desktop Entry]
   Type=Application
   Name=New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS
   Exec=env WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui wine \"/home/$USER/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui/drive_c/NSUI/New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS.exe\"
   Icon=/home/$USER/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui/drive_c/NSUI/.rsrc/ICON/5.ico
   Terminal=false" > ~/.local/share/applications/nsui.desktop
   

Open NSUI

Open with the desktop entry, or:

export WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui; wine $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/NSUI/New\ Super\ Ultimate\ Injector\ for\ 3DS.exe

Troubleshooting

The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

Make sure you're using .NET 4.6 or greater. See here for more information:

• New Super Ultimate Injector SSL error fix

Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

Install Wine Gecko (this should not be needed on newer versions of Wine (6+?) as Wine will automatically prompt you to install Gecko as needed)

wget http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.1/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86.msi
wget http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.1/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui wine msiexec /i wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86.msi
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/nsui wine msiexec /i wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi

Followed these instructions to a tee and the program is in a mostly functional state, except for creating the virtual console banner, which does not display anything in the preview despite entering text. I thought that it might've been a font rendering issue, but even after installing allfonts into the prefix the issue remains. It probably goes beyond a simple display issue, even the exported .cia has an empty banner.
Using wine 9.3 and installed dotnet48

This fixes the empty banner:

winetricks -q gdiplus
