<h3 id="multiarch">Multiarch</h3>
<p>
Most Windows applications (especially older ones) are built for the 32-bit<br />
microprocessor architecture (i386). To execute 32-bit applications,<br />
the underlying operating system needs to support this architecture.<br />
To enable the installation of software packages for the i386 architecture,<br />
execute the following command:
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
</code></pre>

<h3 id="install">Installation</h3>
<h4 id="install_drivers">Drivers</h4>
<p>
Some 32-bit applications, like games, require graphics acceleration.
</p>
<p>
If the proprietary Nvidia driver is used,<br />
install the libraries for the i386 architecture:
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386
</code></pre>
<p>
If the generic GL library is used,<br />
install the library for the i386 architecture:
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo apt install libgl1:i386
</code></pre>
<h4 id="install_wine">Wine</h4>
<p>
The following command installs 32-bit and 64-bit variants of <code>wine</code>:
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo apt install wine wine32:i386 wine64
</code></pre>
<h4 id="install_mono">Mono</h4>
<p>
Download <code>wine-mono</code> for .NET applications:
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">MONO_VERSION='9.4.0'
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/mono
sudo wget -O "/usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-${MONO_VERSION}-x86.msi" \
  "https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/${MONO_VERSION}/wine-mono-${MONO_VERSION}-x86.msi"
</code></pre>
<h4 id="install_winetricks">Winetricks</h4>
<p>
Winetricks is used to easily install Windows-native DLLs.
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo apt install winetricks
</code></pre>
<p>
Sometimes, native DirectX DLLs improve graphics quality and rendering speed.<br />
DXVK translates Direct3D 8/9/10/11 calls to Vulkan.<br />
VKD3D uses Vulkan for Direct3D 12.
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">winetricks d3dx9 d3dx10 dxvk vkd3d
</code></pre>

<h3 id="exec">Execution</h3>
<p>
To execute a 32-bit Windows application, change to the application directory<br />
and call <code>wine</code> with the Windows executable as parameter:
</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">cd '/mnt/ntfs/games/My Game'
wine MyGame.exe
</code></pre>
