I have focused most of my effort getting games before the year 2010 to run, so anything after that might have more issues. Self modifying code and JITs are the hardest to run, so Java and DotNet do not run, but currently simple DotNet games with Mono do (see the demo Solitaire).

If you have a game or app that was released before 2010 and it runs on Wine, but does not work with Boxedwine, let me know. You can file an issue here: https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/issues

Web Version

If you want to test out the Web version of Boxedwine, please test your app or game with the Mac, Windows or Linux version first. If that works then move on to

To see 25R1 running an example: http://boxedwine.org/v/25R1/test.html

Linux

This runs well on Linux, my automation tests run on Asahi Linux on Mac Mini (ARM64) and on Linux Mint (x64). You can compile this yourself pretty easily. See https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/blob/master/docs/How-To-Build-Boxedwine.md

Things that work

• DirectDraw, Direct3D and OpenGL all work pretty well.
• 16-bit Windows apps and installers
• Copy/Paste
• Networking works alright, but is not perfect
• Vulkan is a work in progress. vkQuake runs well and some games work with the DXVK option

Things that don't work and are on my radar

• DotNet 8
• Java
• Hardware OpenGL on Mac only works on a few OpenGL games, for the most part the software OpenGL LLVM Pipe is used
• Joystick
• Surround Sound
• Mounting ISO's
• Steam doesn't launch
