Running Matrix games under Linux & Wine/dosemu

Just wondering if anyone has tried to run any Matrix games under Linux and Wine/dosemu? I managed to get SPWAW working under the CVS version of Winex using --winver nt40.

I can get Pacific War to run under dosemu. Does PW support the mouse, as the program doesn't register mouse clicks.

Thanks
(Hope this is the right place to ask this)

Scratch that; Pacific War doesn't run under dosemu and Linux. It gets so far and then it dies. SPWAW runs very intermittently. After it plays the video, often it will just die

Steel Panthers WaW runs on Linux no problem.

Check out my webpage:

Probably, your "runs very intermitently" is caused by the version of Wine that you are using. Use a Wine version from the ones that I reccommned at my webpage
