Hello All!

I recently installed linux on my netbook (peppermintos for those who are interested) and was wondering if there was a version of Cavestory+ that I could play. I own the game on steam, and I've played through the game many times! If anyone has any knowledge of what I can do, please do tell!

Thank you!

As far as I know the Humble Indie Bundle release came with bins for all three major platforms. Not sure if they're available for download anywhere else, all I know is that there were a lot of complaints on the forum about it not working very well.

Try and open steam and run the game unless you tried that. But I think it should work because I think it plays through steam so you wouldn't need to install it.

Aha, that wouldn't quite work. There isn't a steam for Linux as of yet, nor does the game play out of steam. But thank you for the help =]

That's my problem ya see, I don't have that HIB, so I can't even try for it to work.

Its np. And I have another idea. Try and look up cavestory.bin on one of the download websites. If not download the game and get rid of the exe file extention and replace it with bin

It's probably not a good idea to try to give advice on things you don't know anything about

[DERP]

Well I can atleast try, don't you think and my ideas are harmless. Its not like im gonna kill his computer or anything. And I've had experience with this kind of thing before so don't go posting things like that without some bk. (Not being bossy)

Thanks for the edit Noxid, I didn't understand how to do that, but I think I understand now.

So besides for the HIB, there isn't really a good way, and the linux variation from that wasn't very good?

Well, thanks anyways, haha, I can always play it on my desktop =]

Yeah, if you can play it on windows or Mac OS that would be better.

Since linux is case-sensitive there are a few problems arising from the naming of files that aren't apparent in windows. Just renaming a few files should fix any issues.

The below quoted instructions should fix most bugs with CS+ Linux:

I need to put this on the site at some point. It's been brought up often enough.

Scratch that, I redownloaded the HiB Linux version just now and the bugs were fixed.
