Summary: 16-bit games - many don't work in Wine. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.42 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: turbolad995@hotmail.co.uk
As I have not found a bug report for this already I've decided to create one myself.
Many 16-bit games, especially the old Windows 3.1 games like "whack-a-mole", "Bricklayer" and many others I've tried simply don't work at all in Wine. Since there's too many 16-bit games to list, it makes sense to write one bug report covering the same problem i.e. problems running 16-bit games.
Try some yourself from here: http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/games/win16.htm
Here I've found that the 32-bit version of tetris works in Wine, but the 16-bit version does NOT work at all (try it yourself from this link, you get to download both the 32-bit and 16-bit versions respectively, at the bottom of that page): http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/games/tetrisjr.htm
I'm pleased to say that the Ballistic (Paddle) game appears to work: http://www.classicdosgames.com/genre/paddle.html
This bug report may appear trivial and not important, but playing old Windows games appeals to some people. These games will NOT work in dosbox. Also consider that 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows won't even run 16-bit programs and games, whereas Wine can sometimes get them working, as in the case of the Ballistic game.

Confirming. In wine-1.2-rc4-48-g58a6988, the game exits immediately (no terminal output).

I was trying to avoid posting many bug reports covering (what appears to be) the same problem.

--- Comment #7 from Stephan Sokolow from_wine_bugzilla@ssokolow.com --- I didn't have time to do any bisecting but I did a bit of testing using various builds of older versions downloaded off the PlayOnLinux servers.
With the BrickLayer 1.5 shareware release... http://www.download-central.ws/Win16/Tetris/Bricklayer/
...it works on Lubuntu 14.04 amd64 under a fresh 32-bit prefix with Wine 1.2.3 but crashes on startup under 1.3.24 and every later version I tried, up to and including the 1.7.25 build provided by the Ubuntu Wine PPA.
Note: As a 16-bit app on a 64-bit kernel, it does require "echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16"

After following the +all log I found that the last thing that happen before a silent crash is a call to FreeResource16. So ignoring the function makes the game starts and run without any problem.
