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!

I tried this program for the GOG version of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and it works wonderfully. I did have to make an adjustment to the Oddworld launcher for this program to work with it, specifically turning off "16 bit color" in the compatibility settings. Also, a Youtube video helped get the DxWnd settings correct for this game. I see the need for better ease of use, instructions, or whatever. The settings are a beast! But regardless, a HUGE thank you to the developers of DxWnd and all your hard work.

It works. You can play your old games again on new windows. The settings might be tricky, but you can get help from the forums.
