This wine version fix some bugs like: like 42570 dinput/tests/mouse intermittently fails in Acquire() and GetDeviceData()

When I first read ARM, I thought they implemented some recompilation facility that would allow running Windows programs on ARM.
But well, WINElib...

Anybody knows how I can (properly) run StarCraft (1) on an RPi?

Those are only input calls right?

You can pump wine through qemu for emulation if you use a patched version of qemu: https://wiki.winehq.org/ARM#Running_...6_Applications

It's not officially supported and performance is going to be pretty garbage on a rasp-pi but it should work well enough to get some older games like StarCraft running.

I personally haven't tried it, but I've seen RetroPi guides for Stratagus and videos of Starcraft using ExaGear emulation.
