Hi Willem, Yeah, unfortunately you are right. Using emulators work to a point, but they always have problems too. The issue with Shades of Doom crashing on wine is a prime example. I've seen similar issues with other accessible games under wine and its certainly frustrating.
And the issue isn't just wine either. I use an Atari 2600 emulator called Stella and not every single Atari 2600 game will operate correctly with Stella. I've had weird things happen like the graphics appear screwed up on screen, games freeze for no reason in the middle of game play, and things like that. If that happens with a rather simpl game like Pacman how can we expect modern games to fair any better as we try to maintain playing/using them on more modern PCs via emulation.
