Extremely useful for games that only run in full screen. There are many tweaks you can apply to them, such as hooking XInput or mapping a X360 controller to specific keys, force screen size and several other things

Wine on Linux/Mac (and possibly Windows with WSL) can do it too. Pretty useful when a game misbehaves with alt-tabbing (looking at you, A Vampyre Story)

    Windows with WSL

    So, use Wine on top of Linux (for Windows), on top of Windows... Where's that Xzibit meme?

    What, have you never done something that would make your psychiatrist consider you a lost cause? Never had the joys of running some obscure disc you have on Win3.1 on DOSBox-X on Windows Vista on Virtual Box on Linux Mint? Nor have you played some SNES game on a SNES Station on the PS2 mode of a PS3 with a system mod that doesn't allow homebrews? Or even open 5 different virtual machines at once in a 10 y.o. and partially damaged laptop running on a mechanical hard drive with the heavy Ubuntu? 😬

    Fuck off if you still use gas chamber OS for playing games.

    The top issue on the related GitHub flags this website as a sketchy impersonator site trying to MITM prospective users: https://github.com/DxWnd/DxWnd.reloaded/issues/10

    The fact that you are randomly promoting this site makes me wary of your account too.
