# Boxedwine
Boxedwine is an emulator that runs Windows applications. It achieves this by running a 32-bit version of Wine, and emulating the Linux kernel and CPU. It is written in C++ with SDL and is supported on multiple platforms.
Boxedwine is open source and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 (GPL).
## Features
- Runs 16/32-bit Windows programs
- Works on Windows, MacOSX, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Web
- Works on x86-64, i686, ARMv7 and ARMv8
- Can run multiple versions of Wine, from 1.8 to 5.0
- Tools and games using OpenGL or Direct3D are supported
## TODOs
- Networking does not work well
- Mac OpenGL does not work with frame buffers
- ARMv8 CPU core for Mac M1 and Raspberry Pi still has bugs
- Games after the year 2000 have limitted success at running
## Platforms being tested
- Emscripten (WASM)
- Linux 64-bit
- MacOSX (ARM)
- MacOSX (Intel)
- Raspberry Pi 4 32-bit
- Raspberry Pi 4 64-bit
- Windows 32-bit
- Windows 64-bit
