Alright, I got it to run on wine, here's how you do it:

DICLAIMER: This was only tested under Arch, but I assume it works with everything else, I use wine-staging 1.9.13, your maid eyes will look weird becuase you have to run the game in directx9 mode, if anyone here knows a way to run the game in OpenGL mode please let me know, because using -force-opengl crashes it for me.

First of all, you need to have the japanese locale working, to do that edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the following lines:

ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP

ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8

then run locale-gen

You need a new prefix to start from clean, so do:

export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/CM3D_Wine"

Since this is a x86 wine prefix you should also do:

export WINEARCH=win32

now you should get winetricks, and do:

winetricks directx9

winetricks allfonts

Now you have to do:

winecfg

And in the libraries tab make sure dnsapi.dll is set to built in, also in the first tab make sure your OS is set to windows 8 or 7.

Now mount both discs, and after you have them mounted cd to the root of the first one run:

LC_ALL="ja_JP" wine installer.exe

The characters might be invisible, but trust me, they work in game, so you just proceed normally with the installation.

Now get cm3d2_up_for_1_00-1_12.zip and run the update program in the same way (LC_ALL="ja_JP" wine update.exe)

Do the same for the latest x86 update, in this case cm3d2_up132.1_x86_sub.zip

Now install the HF patch, this is done in the same way you did everything else (LC_ALL="ja_JP" wine whatever.exe)

The patch might give you an error at the end but that's normal.

Now go to the game's folder, this is located in:

your_wine_prefix/drive_c/KISS/CM3D2

From there you run:

LC_ALL="ja_JP" wine CM3D2x86.exe -force-d3d9

And the game should run with all the patches and shit, your character's eyes will appear weird, but the game will be playable.

Whenever you want to run the game you just have to do:

export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/CM3D_Wine"

export WINEARCH=win32

cd $WINEPREFIX/KISS/CM3D2

LC_ALL="ja_JP" wine CM3D2x86.exe -force-d3d9

What I have not tested: Installing mods
