help with amplitube in manjaro

[aident]

Ive read on line that amplitube 4 works with wine, but ive had no such luck. when i try to boot it up it says ive ampltube has a serious error. i was wondering if anybody else had a similar issue.

Sounds like you need a newer wine version or/and the wineasio package from
aur or wherever Arch things are stored. Try installing just wineasio,
After installing it,
you must run 2 commands:

wine64 regsvr32 wineasio.dll

wine regsvr32 wineasio.dll

Success or failure will be reported in the terminal output.
With success, try A4 again.

I'm using wine-stable 5.0 from the wineHQ repository, but that's in Ubuntu, not Arch.
With antywine version 4 and newer, you might not need any extra Microsoft .dll files as 'over-rides.
Over-rides are handled using winecfg config panel, the libraries tab.

1. Copy .dll into .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 folder
2. type name of that .dll without it's extension, into the list area,
and click the 'apply' button.

If after the regsvr commands above, you still have no luck, install
mfc42.dll and mfc42u.dll both 32 an 64 bit versions, easily found
in google searches, or your own real windows folder. The 32 bit goes in

/home/you/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64

64 bit goes in

/home/you/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

These mfc42's usually don't replace anything, but are proven good supplements.

(personally, I rename an existing wine dll that is to be 'over-ridden' like d2d1.dllDEFAULT
so it's easy to find and revert in a filemanager gui if needed.)

The following windows .dlls may also be of use/need, but current wine is much better than
even a year ago.

d2d1.dll
mfc140.dll

ucrtbase.dll
gdiplus.dll
mfc90.dll

d3d10core.dll
d3dx9_41.dll
api-ms-win-crt-multibyte.dll
msvcm80.dll
mfc90.dll
propsys.dll
sxs.dll

I can run the standalone A4, as well as the plugin in reaper, at the same time.
Once the details line up, it's very stable. What daws or standalone are you using?

I think Arch has a good audio help page somewhere, that mentions wine use.

im using the latest version of reaper in wine(latest version), with wine asio (latest). I can run other vsts in reaper (stl tonehub, various amp sims, cab loaders, delays, etc.) with no problem other then 1 or 2 xruns here and there. I will try your method and ill let you know if it works.

i tried what you said an whenever i try to boot up the application it still says "amplitube.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close", i also get the same error message whenever carla tries to scan it, and reaper doesnt even acknowledge its existence.
this is the error it spits out

What happens when trying the plugin in
linux Reaper, or Carla with vst-bridge enabled?

Check if winbind and libgnutls are installed, they were recommended for use
in Ubuntu Studio/wine to aid win apps to communicate

If you have an expendable external drive, installing Ubuntu Studio 19.10 or 20.04,
with wine-staging 5.x stable from the wineHQ repository might help clear things up.

There are some Arch users at the Reaper-linux forum and a 'sticky' topic for running win apps:

https://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=52

and a manjaro/linvst topic started:

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=240510

Sometimes a linvst 'wrapped' plugin works in linux Reaper, when it fails in wine/windows Reaper.
