This subpage is for the installion of the netplay pack under linux.

Our netplay pack uses a custom mednafen build, for additional quality of life additions and changes to the netplay experience, so you will have to build from source yourself. If you are on Ubuntu, you can compile our custom mednafen build with this script, as well as download the pack and unpack everything into ~/.diginetplay automatically, and give you .sh scripts to open the game and anything else offered in the netplay pack (Ex: Watching Replays) at ~/Desktop/Digimon Tamers - Netplay Evolution.

echo Installation complete! Script files to play the game should be in a folder on your desktop named Digimon Tamers - Netplay Evolution, and the game files stored at ~/.diginetplay, including your replays folder.

For other distros, check with the mednafen releases page for which dependencies you need installed, and change the script as needed to get the right packages with your system's package manager. Once you have built mednafen, you should be able to run ~/.diginetplay/batevomednafen/src/mednafen (or ~/.diginetplay/mednafen if the file has been moved already), and get the output Starting Mednafen BatEvoNetplayV3.0 on the first line of output. The script does not install mednafen to /usr/bin or anywhere else your system would usually check for executables, in case you already have vanilla mednafen installed, but you can install it there if you'd like. You'll just need to modify the .sh files on your Desktop accordingly. Likewise, your mednafen base directory doesn't need to be ~/.diginetplay, nor do you need to store your game files in there.

If mednafen says Error opening sound device., then open mednafen.cfg in ~/.diginetplay, and find the line with sound.driver, and change it from default to sdl.
