    Seems to run a lot faster than the previous proof-of-concept I've found (https://www.boxedwine.org/app). Then again, that website runs an entire Linux VM to support Wine.

      This is so cool & I'm really amazed by it but I couldn't help laugh at the readme

        Funny project...

        Tried to run SHELL from QBASIC, but it crashes:

          D:\qbasic.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
          
          Reason:  illegal instruction
          Address: 0x00002fee

          Tried it with REVERSI.EXE from Windows 3.0 from https://winworldpc.com/download/c2bbc28f-177a-c2b2-5311-c3a4... DISK02.IMG

          (you have to first uncompress it, for example with 7zip).

              $ sha256sum REVERSI.EXE
              a9e319c8f479d1568beec03858fdbb27c71747b2bbed6cd7c9f5e2daa23b40e9  REVERSI.EXE
          
          Result:

          The game starts, it begins rendering the board, but then hangs.

            Really doesn't surprise me, to be honest:

              so which one, the coding by hand part?

            Pretty cool. The pipes program doesn't seem to have color. Thoughts on making programs launch from a URL parameter? IE Launching a screensaver or game?

              Please let me plan Sim Theme Park. I can't seem to run it on Crossover on my mac.

                Checkout retrowin32 for something similar but written in Rust and not specifically targeting the web: https://github.com/evmar/retrowin32

                  Not enough Shell32 to run Winfile or Notepad.

                  Also the command prompt won't list directories for some reason.

                    Aww. The FreeCell cheats don't work, except for -1 and -2 :)
