Appimages on Linux For Windows Games

Posted on 2023-03-05, 20:57

in Windows
I have made nearly 500 appimages on Linux, fully running from the 1997 to 2005 era (roughly) These appimages incorporate the windows installation, the wine version that works for the game and the game itself (including the iso, which auto mounts, if needed) so should be bullet proof as regards …

Re: Converting cue/bin to iso, how to?

so the only way is to burn it right? With Windows there are some virtual disc software that can mount BIN/CUE in its entirety, so you can access the image's data content as well as audio tracks (by software/game or media player). I think WinCDEmu can do that. With Linux (WSL probably also counts) I …

"No emulator for the foreseeable future will be able to handle graphics today or yesterday in a playable state so passthru and/or wrappers need to be more common in virtual machines with no flakiness or crazy configuration to enable" I don my hat to the developers of dxvk translating dx9, 10, 11 and …

As fun and cool as all these approaches are, particularly kjliew's passthrough solution, it does make me wonder if most of these older games don't already run flawlessly under Wine these days. Even if you're not running Linux as your host system, you could run Wine in a 3D-accelerated Linux guest …
