Emulating Win32

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • winevdm

    16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on 64-bit Windows

  • winevdm came to mind as a rather different Windows API + CPU emulator project - it glues WinAPI thunking to MAME's x86 emulator to run Win16 apps on 32-bit Windows, which can also run such apps through its own WoW32, and 64-bit Windows, which drops 16-bit support. Should work on ARM64 Windows too.

    The closed Github issues are a trip. https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3A...

    In the words of its own README:

  • homebrew-wine

  • Try `gcenx` distribution of wine with crossover patches (https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
