Boxedwine

Boxedwine is an emulator that runs Windows applications. It achieves this by running a 32-bit version of Wine, and emulating the Linux kernel and CPU. It is written in C++ with SDL and is supported on multiple platforms.

Boxedwine is open source and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 (GPL).

Features

  • Runs 16/32-bit Windows programs
  • Works on Windows, MacOSX, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Web
  • Works on x86-64, i686, ARMv7 and ARMv8
  • Can run multiple versions of Wine, from 1.8 to 5.0
  • Tools and games using OpenGL or Direct3D are supported

TODOs

  • Networking does not work well
  • Mac OpenGL does not work with frame buffers
  • ARMv8 CPU core for Mac M1 and Raspberry Pi still has bugs
  • Games after the year 2000 have limitted success at running

Platforms being tested

  • Emscripten (WASM)
  • Linux 64-bit
  • MacOSX (ARM)
  • MacOSX (Intel)
  • Raspberry Pi 4 32-bit
  • Raspberry Pi 4 64-bit
  • Windows 32-bit
  • Windows 64-bit
