Hoping to see some kind of solution to this as I love playing old classics, but also want to be able to do so sometimes while doing other stuff on my computer. Also, if you have multiple displays it assigns itself to a random display every time it gets reopened from the dock, which wouldn''t be an issue if it could run in windowed mode instead of full screen. For running Panzer General 2 in windowed mode you will need to use a tool as explained in this guide. Take for instance Star Wars Rebellion: It really messes up your displays due to the low resolution, especially if you have to minimise the game. The proper syntax for Empire at War is apparently '- windowed 1370 x 738' (with a white space before 'windowed'). All of this would be fixed with a 'windowed mode' feature. Most of the classics have terrible resolutions and make it difficult to 'just minimise' a game, or if you want to use your computer for streams or something else while playing.

I also searched the forums for existing topics, but didn''t find any so please let me know if any existing threads exist on this topic.īottom line is: With so many good old classics getting popular on PortingKit, it is very surprising to me that there isn''t a distinct feature launch games in windowed mode, which you actually can in wine. I am new to the forums, but have been using PortingKit for a while.
