Maybe I'm missing something or don't know how to use wine, but more than 50% of the time if I try to run an old windows program it doesn't work.
Wine tends to work better for W*ndows programs that already have a Linux port, because they depend on fewer m*crosoft-specific libraries... which is not very helpful most of the time, but it is the subject matter of the meme.
Also guess I should say my solution is to run a virtual Windows machine on my Ubuntu laptop
I' been wasting way to much time getting an oldish german game to run. This piece of junk won't even run on windows, not bare metal, not in an XP virtual machine. I guess I'll just try this every year from now it, to see if it runs with wine now.
Out of interest, which one is it?
