Win32s games and its funky ways of making them work ... so back in 2009, we had a user here with the same problem like I now have ...
Trying to figure it out ,how to make this game work ?
It has Win95 compatibility but it needs a patch , even spits info about it ... so there must be some way to find this thing ...
So what about other means ... since i am now away from my PCs , tried the emu environment :

Dosbox 0.74 with Win3.11 ... Problems with Setting Permanent Virtual Memory this game needs , writes it had 0kb free space ??? and spits error 21 aka low virtual mem
Dosbox-X with Win3.11 ... you get Divide by Zero problems when you install Win32s this game crashes the EMU

By the way can someone post the links to the RIP , maybe it will work ? and then i will re-add missing files to make it a full version from the CD...

Yeah, if your asking ... i am trying to make problematic to run games from CyberFLix playable :

Dust: A Tale of the Wired West - it works fine in DosBox with Win3.11, does not need VIrtual Mem to work
Titanic: Adventure Out of Time - GOG used Fan fixes to make this game playable

now that is left is :
Jump Raven 1994
Lunicus 1994
Skull Cracker 1996

or try the Macintosh version

Have you tried the Win3xo version from collection of Win3.x games emulated and made to run on modern o/s - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/lunicus-3mb
Here's the front-end with emulator - http://www.legendsworld.net/site/downlo ... mirror=489
version 2.0 of collection - https://archive.org/details/eXoWin3x

I also read the game will run with ykhwong's enhanced version of DOSBox - https://github.com/ykhwong/dosbox-svn-daum
and here is a Win95 patch - https://archive.org/details/LUNI95_ZIP

doh... forgot about daum dosbox ... but its weird Dosbox-X runs Win95\win98 games in perfect speed ... but only win3.11 has problems with setting the Virtual Ram in it , guess its not compatible with Win32s when Win3.11 wanted to escape the 16bit and be a 32bit system with 720p\1080p resolution support ...

Thanks for the Help ... now to test it when i find time ...

Wow , so that project has all win 3 to win3.11 to Win3.11 Win32S , from 1990 to 1999 (till 1996 commercial games came , after that only few dev hell games and educational till 1999)... 1142 games (and edu software) all working

So my job is done ,

eXoWin3x as in the people behind eXoDOS?

yeah , 8 dosbox versions used to make all Win3 , Win3.11 and Win3.11 Win32s games work in better then perfect speed ... with magic of dosbox emulation as , Save your game , at any time , at any place ... 1142 software , games , programs , edutainment , shareware ... from German, English , American ,European regions ... all ... even Erotic Games ... from 1989 to 1999 ... the only thing they miss is the Japan region , that had its own Win3.11 (LGR showed it when he tried to play a Japan Exclusive version of SIMTOWER , that has some exclusive map packs)

The whole pack is 330 GIGs (got it all) it works in LaunchBox ... so you get a nice cover ONE click menu to play your games ... games are Ziped ,each has True 1:1 dumped Clones for max compatibility from CDs to Floppy Discs , with custom disc changing and much much more ... you get Reviews , Pictures , FULLY SCANNED PDF manuals , BOX Covers for all media and Extras ... all in those 330 gigs


(853 titles left on my side from those 1142 , since i deleted few that i played ... and some extracted from this to make a ONE CLICK exe compressed with UHA or 7Z for max compression , since i know how to repack those)

those 2001 , 2003 titles are well redumps ... they only miss Japan and Chinesee region games from Us or OldGameRu ... and you got the full set , like in dosbox
