What is WSL2: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/wsl/wsl2-about How to install WSL2: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/wsl/wsl2-install How to install a GUI inside WSL2: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/linux-desktop-windows-subsystem/ The goal would be to play Windows-only games using libTAS. WSL automatically mounts the disks in /mnt, where each folder's name is a Windows drive letter (C:\ will be mounted on /mnt/c/, D:\ on /mnt/d/, etc.). You can run Windows apps inside WSL the same way you would run a Linux program, the GUI will run on your Windows, but console output goes inside WSL. --- So I downloaded the lastest libTAS 32 bit and tried to run the Windows version of the Undertale demo with libTAS, but (of course) it didn't worked. When trying to run the game, this is the error I get: (Game path is D:\Jeux\UndertaleDemo\UndertaleDemo.exe) So I'm wondering 2 things: - What would happen if we remove the 'file' command check when running the game (we need an option to manually select the game version, 32 or 64 bits) - Would it be possible to make libTAS work here, and if yes, what are the requirements to have libTAS working here?

This will likely never work. The processes you launch are not part of the Linux VM nor handled by the Linux userspace.

You'll need to use WINE in order for this to work, and then only for games which are compatible with WINE.

You will actually need Undertale linux version. Even if wine does work, it has desync problems. So just find the linux verion of undertale and it should work.
