Yes, I can find them when searching or browsing to them from the normal file explorer, but the file explorer window that Openerct2 opens is different and isn't allowing me to pick from the whole SSD. Where does Openrct2 want to files to be? clearly it doesn't like where they currently are for some reason.

Thanks, but sadly this did not work either owner@owner-fast:~$ set-rct2 "/home/owner/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Infogrames/RollerCoaster Tycoon 2" set-rct2: command not found owner@owner-fast:~$ openrct2 set-rct2 "/home/owner/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Infogrames/RollerCoaster Tycoon 2" openrct2: command not found As Openrct2 has a Linux version I assume getting the game to run on Linux is possible? Its weird that if I start Openrct2 via the menu icon it prompts me to pick the install location by browsing to the location on my SSD, but it won't let me access the whole SSD to get to the location. As you see from the file path its in my home/owner/.wine folder but there is nothing shown in this folder other than .var and .local I had to show hidden files just to be able to see them. Its the same deal if I pick other locations. It never shows me the .wine folder anywhere I look. This is so confusing. Thank for trying to help

Ok well as this isn't working I installed the game via WINE, but openrct2 wont let me browse to the folder where WINE installed it. I have unhidden the files and it just wont let me browse to the location. I tried setting the location via the terminal but it just gives an error. set-rct2 /home/owner/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Infogrames/RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' How is this meant to work on Linux?

https://openrct2.org/quickstart/extract-rct2-files/linux I simply don't understand how to get the file paths needed to extract the game files from the retail CD on Linux Mint. The instructions say Retail CD version If you have the retail installer, you'll need unshield to extract it. There may be a package available for your distribution, or build from source (grab the source from the link, then run cmake . && make). Once you have unshield, run the following commands, replacing PATH-TO-EXTRACT-FILES-TO and INSTALLER-LOCATION appropriately. unshield -g Minimum -d "PATH-TO-EXTRACT-FILES-TO" x "INSTALLER-LOCATION/data1.hdr" cp -R "$INSTALLDIR/Data/" "$EXTRACTDIR/Minimum/Data" mv "$EXTRACTDIR/Minimum" "$EXTRACTDIR/RCT2" I have unshield installed and when I tried putting what I thought the file paths were into the terminal it only extracted 117MB of data to the folder then gave me an error. I have looked for a video tutorial and searched for info, but I'm stumped. Does this even work on Linux or should I just give up? There is also no mention on how to extract the expansion pack files either. I can download Open RCT2 from the Linux mint software manager, so I assume it works on Linux, but I haven't got that far yet, as I can't figure out how to get the files extracted from the CD. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks :)
