Boxedwine Emulator Test

This post tests the Boxedwine emulator component for running Windows applications in the browser.

Running an app with a separate zip file

If your app is in a separate zip file (like ski32.zip), specify both the app name and program:

<div data-component="boxedwine-emulator" 
     data-app="ski32" 
     data-program="ski32.exe" 
     data-width="800" 
     data-height="600">
</div>

Running an app from boxedwine.zip with a batch file

If your app is already installed in boxedwine.zip and you're using a batch file to launch it:

<div data-component="boxedwine-emulator" 
     data-program="run.bat" 
     data-width="800" 
     data-height="600">
</div>

Example: MASH

For the MASH application running directly from the boxedwine.zip filesystem:

Initializing...

The emulator will:

  1. Load BrowserFS and JSZip
  2. Download the boxedwine.zip filesystem
  3. Download the mash.zip app if specified
  4. Initialize Boxedwine with the specified program
  5. Display the Windows application in the canvas
