Make run a game coming from a .rar folder

[Sylliaa]

Hello there !

i have a few games saved from my Windows, each game in a .rar folder.
On windows, after formatting my pc i only had to copy the content of the folder on my games folder, and run it.

i am trying to do the same here on linux.
is there something specific to do ? i am starter on wine, and the only game i install with a "normal way" was hearthstone, with lutris+wine (and it works fine)

Thank you for answers, have a nice day and spend nice holiday times

You have to install every game again on linux over wine. Here is the explanation: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#I_have_lots ... in_Wine.3F

It is recommended to use a separated Wineprefix for every application: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Wineprefixes

I tend to use PlayOnLinux and Winetricks to make my life easier but they are just wrappers/helpers of wine that allows you to make this transparently with a GUI but you should be able to do this just by using wine in a terminal o ever by double clicking on EXEs files.
