Can you follow the instructions here to manually install the game and then switch the same WINE prefix to the game executable after the installation is finished. That should guarantee that they're installed on the same WINE prefix.

Okay, try running env in a terminal and seeing what DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR is set to. For me it's DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR=/home/$USER/.cache/dotnet_bundle_extract but I'm betting that yours is more like /homemeDownloads/home/me/.cache/dotnet_bundle_extract whereas it should almost certainly be /home/$USER/.cache/dotnet_bundle_extract

And in the environment variables you might as well check DOTNET_ROOT and see if any Dotnet programs are in your PATH. For me those are DOTNET_ROOT=/usr/lib/dotnet and PATH=/home/$USER/.dotnet/tools

Here's a command to check them all quickly: echo $DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR && echo $DOTNET_ROOT && echo $PATH | grep /home/$USER/.dotnet/tools

I'm not sure if this is standard behaviour, but when I run Winetricks Select default prefix Run a commandline shell (for debugging) it opens a terminal window under my default username with the same environment variables as my OS, so I think it might matter what your OS environment variables are set to.

You can install Dotnet in Linux natively, that might be a better option than trying to use Mono. Try sudo apt search dotnet | grep installed to see if you already have some of it installed. I have all of the following packages installed locally on Pop!OS aspnetcore-runtime-6.0 dotnet-apphost-pack-6.0 dotnet-host dotnet-hostfxr-6.0 dotnet-runtime-6.0 dotnet-sdk-6.0 dotnet-targeting-pack6.0 dotnet-templates-6.0 dotnet6. You probably don't need all of those installed, I think just sudo apt install dotnet6 will install all of the other packages as dependencies when you install it.

I'm not really familiar with Game Slug but you said you're using Lutris? Is it possible to try installing it through Steam or Heroic Games Launcher? I'm more familiar with those. Also, can you tell me which game it is that you're trying to install? That might help.

Well for one thing, that's a really strange directory structure. The Z drive is referring to a WINE prefix, so I'd go into the prefix directory and determine the correct path that it should be pointing to, and then find out what its calling that incorrect path and fix it.

I just looked at the script you posted, can you try running echo $GAMEDIR in a terminal and see what it's defined as in your environment variables? If that's the cause of that odd path, then you can update it by running export GAMEDIR=/home/$USER/new/path/to/game

It looks like it's built with Electron which should run natively on mobile. Porting it as a mobile app wouldn't be very difficult.

Edit: Upon further investigation, it actually has a built-in mobile frontend. You'd just have to run an instance on a server and access it from your mobile device.
