Q:

Can You Run Paint Tool Sai on linux?

I tried using play on linux but it did not work
I used versions 1.1.0, 1.20 and 1.2.5.
I used wine 3.1 and wine 1.5.5 Sai.
When I used PlayOnLinux it did not have launcher.
When I used wine It would not launch.

A:

I have just tried this with PlayOnLinux using WindowsXP wine config and version 2.12 staging; it is working.
Here's a step by step guide:

Open PlayOnLinux and select 'Install a Program' on the left.

Select 'Install a non-listed program'.

Select 'Install a program in a new virtual drive'.

Tick both 'Use another version of Wine', and 'Configure Wine'.

When asked to choose a version of Wine, select '2.12-staging'.

In the next screen select '32 bits windows installation'.

In the next screen Wine will configure for a few moments and then the settings screen will open,under the 'Applications' tab change the 'Windows Version' to 'Windows XP', then click OK. 

You will then be asked to select the installer, I used the trial from the PTS website version 1.2.5.
Run the installer once it opens, when it is finished click OK and it will close.

You will then be asked to add a shortcut, select sai.exe and click Next.

Sometimes it takes a few seconds and it will return to the same screen, select 'I don't want to add another shortcut.' and click Next.

Draw a masterpiece.

I haven't tested it but according to this page on the WineDB the pen pressure does not work, to fix it it suggests "if you want pen pressure you have to open the misc.ini file in the installation folder, find the line TabletMouseSimulation = 0 and replace the 0 by a 1 and that's about it no dependencies either"
