It just up and crashes right away.. I suspect that wine isn’t quite ‘under the covers’ work alike enough for Windows 3.0

386 eh? Wonder if this can (needlessly) run Win32s stuff….. or those Win386 Watcom runtime binaries. Otherwise there isn’t much use for 386 emulation vs. 286 for Win16 stuff.

Yeah the MAME 80386 engine is many things, speedy though it really isn’t. I found that re-generating a world in SimEarth slows to a crawl, I wonder if it’s 80387 emulation..

Chip’s Challenge runs fine, music and all. I did some stress testing with SimTower and it works well too. The VDM is kinda pokey on a Core2Duo though.

It can even run Program Manager… and launch programs. Problem is it launches them in a shared VDM ala Windows 9x, so things crash pretty quickly.

The latest update let’s me open files within Word for Windows 2.0 now! I’m so close to just dumping ‘modern’ office.

This new build appears to turn off Aero/themed windows for Win16 applications. Perhaps that was causing problems?

I just tried the 3.0 stuff and I have to maximize solitaire to play it.

I’ve always been of the opinion that Word 2 and Excel 3 were basically all anyone needed, at least I can put Excel 3 to the test this week!

nder if it’ll handle Chip’s Challenge or some of the other WEP stuff. xD
