How to run an old windows application?

#1 Post by darksash »

Hello again all...

I'm getting a little bit nostalgic for an old windows 95 RTS game, Star General. Is there a way to use wine or an emulator to run the program on linux? I'm running puppy 2.17.

you may need 3d drivers if not then install wine from sfs or dotpet then run wineconf then run wine /path_to_program/program_name

if you have an nvidia card then NOP 2.17 already has the drivers for it as of today 3d drivers for other cards have been compiled as far as i know they will probably be compiled for the upcoming commuity edition of puppy linux
