News:

  • New shell option for bottles-cli allowing launchers like itch.io working with Bottles

How to use with itch.io:

  1. make a new Gaming bottle named itchio or whatever you want
  2. create ~/.local/bin/wine with content:
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run --command='bottles-cli' com.usebottles.bottles shell -b itchio -i "$@"

changing itchio with your bottle name (the Path key in your bottle.yml)

  1. make it executable chmod +x ~/.local/bin/wine
  2. make a Games/ path in the bottle's drive_c/ and choose it when installing games from itch.io
  3. enjoy and report bugs.

If you already have a wine executable in your system and can't uninstall, launch itch.io with PATH=~/.local/bin env var
