Spine emulator for Linux
Description
Spine emulator is repository contains sources of a Flatpak package for spinedemo.
Spinedemo is a demo version of spine which is a Wine-like PS4 emulator for Linux that is being developed in private (see also Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android version).
The experimental version is now aviable on the link button below.
Running
Dump the game on your PS4 and copy the resulting files to your PC.
To run flatpak version:
flatpak run –filesystem={dump directory}:ro org.devofspine.SpineDemo {path to eboot.bin}
To run binary version:
spinedemo {path to eboot.bin}
Installation
Default version is packaged using Flatpak (https://flatpak.org).
flatpak –user install flatpak/spinedemo.flatpak
Alternative version was built on Fedora 29 and statically linked.
It requires only OpenGL and SDL2. It is provided in the static directory.
This was done because version built with flatpak runtime doesn’t seem to work
with Nvidia drivers.
Supported games (md5 of executable, other dumps may also work):
- Mega Man Legacy Collection
- 6911087c37fde29034c1d9ef2950684a eboot.bin (ELF)
- 38c82774d44373cf24f84401eec97623 eboot.bin (SELF)

- 6cf309f131434bcff7d8737664b45c8e eboot.bin (SELF)
Releases are currently tested on:
- desktop computer with Nvidia GTX970, Fedora 29
binary version works, flatpak doesn’t - laptop running Fedora 29 under VMware Fusion
both versions work
