Bunch of scripts to assist in running WACCA on linux WARNING: I made these scripts for personal use. Use with your own discretion. ANOTHER WARNING: The data for WACCA S (1.50) from archive.org is corrupted. The game will not work with this version.

Requirements

vhditools (Build from git, otherwise vhdimount will complain about missing VHDI subsystem)
umu-launcher
fsdecrypt
aria2c
udisks2
MercuryModder (Optional: only required for injecting charts into the game)
metra (Optional: Only required for injecting english translations into the game)
mangohud (Optional: Only required if you want to have a FPS counter)

Configuration

Configuration is done with the .config file, an example can be found in .config.example

Folder structure
