      Tried again from clean plate. Set the renderer in the registry. Don't know what you mean with desktop resolution my monitor is 1920:1080. i tried virtual destop with 1920:1080 but also fails. Yes its with LOD. Used cnc-ddraw 4.4.6. I also exchanged the startx with matchbox but it never started the game...
      I get the impression that there is a pluggy task and when it finished it calls game.exe and closes and this closing causes the quitting but i dont know how to check. Its different when callled vie D2SE.exe (here 1.13c) i think there is a wrap around the processes and it seems like one but thats just a guess

        @MumboJumbo I'm definitely starting Diablo 2 from its directory with wine game.exe -txt -direct. I think the -txt -direct options are there to inject the plugy code. I don't really know why it's not working for you.
        Maybe you could have a look at your error messages about ALSA. Are thy always there and your sound works otherwise with other games? Or you could start with a whole new wineprefix... Sometimes it helps me to fiddle with another game first and come back later with fresh ideas?

        I'm sorry I have no other ideas now. :(

          @ecto all good thx a lot for your help. I can run it from D2SE just one click more. But i tried sth different this time i created a new D2SE Mod copying my working one. Then i transferred your changes into my files. I needed to copy some missing files and search for a plugy (11.02) which could manipulate D2gfx(1.13c). Now the game starts via D2SE but I get the same error as before as soon as I open the charaktermenu diablo suddenly quits and i get this error on console:

          12143|0x6ab42e3: Unimplemented Opcode (C9) 66 3E 8B 4E 08 51 50 E9
          
          

          I think i need to uncheck all changes plugy makes to the charactermenu then it will open just like in the working one probably thats because the internal version of plugy(10) in D2SE doesn't know the command.... Hmm can't start plugy without D2SE but D2SE only can do Plugy 10 or so.....

            @ecto I hope I grabbed the right post to reply to.

            I was able to run some games in the Model 2 emulator through Wine via Box86 using a Raspberry Pi 4B. There is some emulator-ception going on with the layers of emulation, so the results weren't great.

            The configuration of everything is overwhelming to me at this beginner stage, so I am also having some issues with stability. Some games work, while others don't.

            Some sources say to do this or that to help with various performance issues, and I find that some of them just break Wine for me.

            I have seen it suggested to use an older version of the Model 2 emulator as well.

            Have you (or anyone else) had any success with decent performance of Model 2 on a Raspberry Pi?

            I am also known as "StormedBubbles"

              Hello,I am new here. And I am Taiwanese.
              I saw this topic several day but I am still confused that:
              1.I also have problem with 86box installation,"/home/pi/retropie-setup/tmp/build/box86/docs/license not found". I also added and empty LICENSE folder manually but it seemed not working. And after reboot, 86box folder all disappeared.
              2.I want to install x86 game but I don't know how to do. But I ever tried on Raspberry Pi OS,I succeeded installing a Wuxia game but when I ran this game for several seconds,screen freezed. I refered to Youtube video below.


              3.After I completed @George's program on Github,retropie showed main menu "PORT"."PORT" contained wine's 4 function but I don't know where I should put my game folder and run it.
              Thx for watching my stupid questions. :(

                Is it safe to remove mesa
                under the section
                rp-box86wine - supplementary
                mesa

                (Not Mesa-DRM)

                After testing wine and not using it anymore?
                It warns about other packages what need it might not work which hopefully it would just mean Wine.
                thanks

                    @Folly do you have shovel knight (linux or windows) working on your pie or age of Empires 1 w- w/o expansion?

                    My AOE 1 for Wine just fails to launch.

                    My Linux Shovel Knight launches and is super slow and then crashes.

                    My windows Shovel Knight for Wine shows a black screen but i can hear the sounds and and such and i think the game is working except no display, which sorts of kills the game lol :D

                        Hi @duglor,

                        Don't use Box86 and wine anymore on my pi4.
                        It's very nice that it can work but I found it too much of a hassle and too slow.
                        Perhaps I will try it once in the future again on my pi5 or pi6 again ;-)
                        So can't help you right now.

                                    Congrats. i got a slew of little minor indy windows games working that lend itself to arcade play.
