Executing host binaries from within Wine

Post by Bladeforce »

Hi, Im currently running a windows application style launcher but I'm having a problem in that I cant set the command shortcut to launch a linux specific binary. It just seems to take note of windows .exe files stored within the wine prefix.
For example if i put "snes9x" in a snes9x folder on the C drive within the wineprefix and type

"C:\snes9x\snes9x.exe"

The shortcut will work fine but i would prefer it if it would launch the linux binary natively

I've tried "/usr/games/snes9x-gtk" and "\usr\games\snes9x-gtk" but nothing.

Is there any way of doing this?

Many thanks
