Status: verified · last checked 2026-08-10

Second-hand reports, not a compatibility guarantee — nobody here retested this. Read the caution before relying on it.

Works, but installing it is the hard part: Native Access 2.x needs Wine work, and libraries often have to be mounted and installed by hand.

Caveats and fixes

Native Access 1.x legacy installer is the easier route; set Windows 10 in winecfg or the installer hangs on an ISO driver.
'Error while mounting disk image' means mounting the library .iso yourself with udisksctl ... -o unhide.
VST3 patch loading was slow in REAPER until yabridge 5.0.5 (2023-05-07).
Render lag reported on the wine10-embedding branch (#469).
