Is it possible to use Reloaded via command prompt with no GUI?

[MildRain479]

I'm using winlator to try and run P5R with mods on my handheld Android device. However, all current versions of wine on Android are unable to use the .NET framework needed for Reloaded's GUI. I can get around this by using the windows terminal in Wine. However, I cant find any documentation on if this is even possible. I know its an extremely niche request and need, but I just wanted to know if its possible.

Assuming only the GUI is broken and not .NET itself, it's technically possible, albeit probably pretty hard/inconvenient.

The loader itself also runs on .NET, so you'd need to grab .NET 9 desktop, and install into WINEPREFIX.

Then you should chuck a copy of the game on a PC, add it, and Deploy ASI Loader.

Then you'd need to copy the .dll and .asi file from game folder to your phone.

Then, copy the mod loader config from AppData (LoaderConfig.json), chuck that on your phone, and fix the file paths in a text editor.

Then copy the game entry/folder from the Apps folder of Reloaded. Once on your phone, open the .json and then fix the file path.

And lastly, you would need to set WINEDLLOVERRIDES when booting your game, so Wine would load ASI Loader which in turn would load Reloaded.

So it's possible in theory, but in practice, it'd be an awful experience setting it up.

Talking with the lead dev of GameNative, installing Mono(a .NET emulation for wine) should have fixed it, but no dice. Do you have any idea why?

Mono and CoreCLR (.NET Core nowadays just .NET) are different implementations of .NET.
Usually in context of Wine, you'd use Mono to run legacy .NET applications that target .NET Framework.

Fore CoreCLR, you really ought to run the runtime installer in your WINEPREFIX.

That does normally work on Wine itself just fine. Not sure how the Wine on Android stuff is necessarily set up.
