Available for providing help running old games on Linux. More so than newer ones, (though I can try, have you seen some of this stuff they churn out lately?) Thank goodness, stuff like wine and proton have done a lot more heavy lifting as of late eh?

@GamingWolf One of the things that won me over to Linux initially was the ability to run Win16 games through Wine, though there's a compatibility layer for modern Windows that I've discovered as well
@rootcompute Wait. This is the first I'm hearing of this, maybe cause I haven't run 16 bit windows games in a long time. That just works?

@GamingWolf If you mean Linux, I think it has to be an older version of Wine? I got them working using the PlayonLinux frontend

If you mean Windows, this: https://github.com/otya128/winevdm

GitHub - otya128/winevdm: 16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on 64-bit Windows

@rootcompute Yes I did mean Linux, pardon. I am just finding out about them making 16bit stuff work through wow64

Like literally recently. Woah.
