SimCity 2000 16-bit Installer via Wine!
I'm excited for some SimCity 2000!
This is the SC2k installer running on Wine on my Linux Mint laptop. It's from the Windows 95 version of the game, which uses a 32-bit exe for the game but a 16-bit exe for the installer.
It's a 16-bit app running in a 32-bit Wine process proxied through Wine's upgraded 64-bit WoW64 stack.
It can't be installed with the installer on Windows anymore because 64-bit Windows has removed all 16-bit support and Windows 11 is 64-bit only!
The game also runs great minus the MIDI music, still working on that in my prefix.

I managed to get Horizon (Xbox 360 save editor) working on Linux Mint with Wine Staging and .NET 3.5. It launches and works correctly. If anyone wants the commands or a full guide, I can share them.

LeShade - ReShade on Linux
Hi! This another post (probably the last one) about LeShade, a ReShade "Manager" for Linux.
What is this about?
This is a GUI app that install ReShade on games that uses proton or wine. It does work essentially the same as ReShade Installer on Windows.
What features does it have?
- Common APIs support (DX9, DX10, DX11, DX12, OpenGL, Vulkan)
- Direct3D 8.x support
- ReShade with addon and non-addon versions
- ReShade with release versions support
- Uninstalling ReShade per game basis from previous installations
- Many shaders repositories
- RenoDX support (snapshot releases)
Why post this again?
This is not the same post. I have did a major update with help of community. Now, since LeShade 2.4.4, you can install ReShade on games that runs natively on Vulkan.
You can check that being real on this video: YouTube video about the major update
Where I download this?
You can can check the GITHUB REPO that contains the latest releases on .AppImage and .flatpak. Also, it does have instruction to download on AUR (Arch Linux), GURU (Gentoo) and CORP (Fedora).
Compatibility list
I have an wiki page and contribution.md that list games tested by the uses and their notes. you can contribute too <3
- Access the wiki list.
- Access the
compatility.md
Also, this project was made exclusively by human hand, no IA code, no vibe code. It's a FOSS that was build by me and ReShade community.
Thanks:
- Thanks for everyone that contributed to the project <3
- Thanks to Tjandra that helped-me a lot with Vulkan support.

I got tired of logging in and out of the Epic Games Launcher, so I built a CLI tool to swap accounts instantly.
If you use multiple Epic accounts (e.g., a main and an alt for Rocket League) via Wine/Proton, you know the login dance is painfully slow and sometimes breaks your launcher state. I didn't really want to have multiple prefixes sitting on my machine just for different accounts either.
I built EGSwitcher to fix this. It simply swaps the local EGS authentication tokens and config files in Wine/Proton.
The best part: It does not touch your passwords. It just tricks the launcher into thinking it's already logged in.
Features:
- Instant Swapping:
egs load AltAccountand you're done. - Data Loss Protection: If it detects you are logged into an unrecognised account, it pauses and asks to claim it before overwriting.
- Portable: It's a single Bash file. Drop it anywhere and it bootstraps itself. No install scripts, no building from source.
If you want to try it, you just need rsync, wine, and to point it to your prefix: egs config pfx
Take a look at it on GitHub

Wine Wow64
When I use wine wow64, do I need to use only 64bit dlls of dxvk or can I use both 64 and 32bit dlls from dxvk?

Assetto Corsa with Sikarugir
Need some help trying to configure this... I have Steam (Winetricks) downloaded and I also have Assetto Corsa installed, however whenever I try to play it, it "launches" momentarily before closing a second later. I have installed .NET452 into the bottle and I can open AC Content Manager normally, however I cannot open the actual game itself.
EDIT: Got it to finally work. Along with AC CM

Running Windows games on Linux using Wine and DXVK in a sandbox
I don't usually play games nowadays, but on the wave of nostalgia I tried to run my childhood Windows games on Linux. This tutorial is the result of my findings.
A requirement for me is to run games isolated from my Linux host, mostly to protect my files from accidental damage.
I used flatpak to avoid installing 32-bit Wine deps. If you're using a distro that provides a WoW64 build of Wine you can avoid using flatpak and just use bwrap(bubblewrap) for sandboxing, but that left as an exercise for the reader.
Note that I prefer to use command-line tools, this is why I completely ignored all popular game launchers for Linux.

Trackmania 2020 on Mac M4
Hi everyone,
I have a Mac M4 and I'm trying to run Trackmania 2020 through Ubisoft Connect. I want to stick to a free, CLI-based solution (Homebrew/Wine) and avoid paid options like CrossOver or slow cloud gaming.
What I've tried:
- Installed wine-stable via Homebrew.
- Ran UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe, but I keep getting the "Fatal Error" crash.
- Tried flags like --disable-gpu and --no-sandbox, but no luck.
The issue:
It seems wine-stable (x86_64) via Rosetta isn't playing nice with the M4 architecture and Ubisoft's renderer.
Questions:
- Is there a specific build on Homebrew that works flawlessly on M4?
- Are there any specific winetricks or environment variables (like WINE_MSYNC=1) I should use for the M4 chip?
- Any free alternatives to standard Wine that handle DX11/DX12 better on this specific chip?
Thanks for the help!

DXVK/VK3D from package manager vs. DXVK/VK3D Wine version
I'm using an NVIDIA GPU and noticed that I have installed the nvidia-driver package but not DXVK and VK3D. But I use DXVK and VK3D from Winetricks. Does this matter? Should I install both packages from the package manager as well?

Win vs Linux | The Crew Motorfest | 1080p Medium | RX6600 Xeon2630v4
I had a lot of tearing on Windows(vsync OFF), but the capture didn't show it. Stuttering were more visible on Windows too. Overall it ran a little more stable on Linux, but with NTsync + Wayland native.

Hoping someone can help me: Septerra Core/Intel Macbook
I purchased Septerra Core for the hell of nostalgia from gog. Quickly learned about Porting Kit and Wine. Super excited as everything was running smoothly so far, until launch and the game only produces a black screen—no sound, no other visuals. For reference, this is my macbook:
2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, OS Ventura
I understand the game is a 32bit and the port should be a 32x64 crossover for mac to even run the visuals. I kinda lost beyond that. If anyone can help at all, I'd be super grateful.
Secondly, if you suggest playing this game differently via other avenues, open to that as well. (I paid $2.79 for the game).

Setting/changing refresh rate using Wine's "Emulate Virtual Desktop" option
Hi folks!
I've been having a small issue trying some specific settings to run a game. Basically I need to run it through Wine's emulate virtual desktop option, but doing that makes it so the game only sees 60hz as the max refresh rate in its display options. When running it normally with Wine, 100hz shows up just fine. Is there any way to have it see the same display options? I've tried some regedit commands that AI suggested but no dice. Thanks!
PS: I "need" to use virtual desktop because it makes the game work better with alt+tab.
