  • Great little program to run old 32 bit software on a 64bit machine. Ease of use may be a little difficult for first time users, may take a little time to familiarise yourself with the software. The performance is fantastic and the graphics are excellent. There are lots of tweaks and enhancements for advanced users.
  • Grand thanks!
  • Please fix the Chinese game: "Blade & Sword", it cannot open windowed mode on windows10 using Dxwnd

    how could I get a copy of this game?
  • I was troubling with someold games. They was running in some kind of full screen but there was frame and it was laggy. Solved with this program in few tries.
  • This program is great for playing older pc games in a window, especially for streaming! Highly recommend! Newest version works better than I expected for Lego star wars complete saga!
