What are some of the games you're having trouble with? You could try Steam's Proton, which is based on Wine but has a lot more compatibility work done on top.

You could try Steam's Proton, which is based on Wine but has a lot more compatibility work done on top. You might even find your games in https://www.protondb.com/ https://www.protondb.com/ to see if someone else has tried them first.

- Schinken_ 3y agoI know "Peterson und Findus" Runs in VMware (Windows XP). Did it myself. Also "Kapitän Säbelzahns Piratenprüfung" und "Pferd und Pony: Mein Pferdehof" work in VMware but not in Virtual box. Also some games (I believe "Petersson und Findus" as well as "Autos bauen mit Willy Werkel") have 16 bit installers but 32 bit executables. So as long as you can install/extract the files in a VM, you can just copy over the installation and run it on Windows 10.

Used Lutris configured with Proton and that worked great. Had to change some resolution settings but otherwise pretty seamless. Also tried it on macOS with only wine, and that crashed during installation. Otherwise Windows XP VM works for pretty much all games.
