Status of 16-bit software on WINE (Windows 95, Windows 98)

Post by VPa »

Hi everyone,

It seems that CD-ROMs for 16-bit Windows (95, 98) ceased to work at some point.

On thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22087 it was written that a virtual machine is needed to run 16-bit software (and it was about Linux).

However, I have been able to run 16-bit software on a 64-bit Linux installation, so if that is true it has not always been the case.

If there is any Wiki page or other documentation about this, please let me know. (I tried to search but maybe didn't have the right keywords.)

Thanks for any clarification on the issue.
