256, 16bit color modes like VMware

Post by Bladeforce »

Hi, I love using Wine but have one question. Would it be possible to implement, like vmware does, an option to change the screen depth to 8 or 16bit depth. This would be great for a lot of older games that require this screen depth. Using the nested screens is either problematic or just worthless, thanks
