Game(s) running on Boxedwine for Windows but not on web (Touhou: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)
Hi, I've been experimenting a lot with this project in the last days. It seems like a pretty neat option for running games on Linux without the hassle of setting up Wine. However, what interests me the most is not the desktop version of Boxedwine, but in fact the web one. And, while general program incompatibilities due to Wine are to be expected, I'm experiencing some really strange inconsistencies between the desktop (Windows x64) version of Boxedwine, and the web one running with proper WASM (in the latest versions of both Firefox and Chromium).
There's one game in particular that I've tried on desktop Boxedwine and have seen it be very playable, and then not even being able to start on the web, and that's "Touhou: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" (from 2002). But I fear there might be a lot more software that I've tried on web Boxedwine with zero to insufficient success, that maybe will run fine on desktop, but that I've not yet been able to try. Yet, the fact that even just one software behaves differently between the emulator builds points to a probable fault in the emulator itself.
I tried this Touhou game with the following versions of the Wine filesystems downloaded directly from the desktop launcher, with both the Windows x64 and web build of Boxedwine taken from the zip of the latest workflow on your Jenkins server (master#70 as of now), and these are the results on Windows:
- 1.7: the game runs, but crashes after a random amount of seconds
- 1.8: game runs but gets very slowed during the action (when there are a lot of entities and particles)
- 5.0: the game runs and gameplay is very enjoyable, not as fast as I'd expect but still a solid speed and framerate
- 6.0: the game runs, but performs a bit worse compared to 5.0
Instead, as I said, the game fails to start on web with the exact same file systems and build version. The emulator throws an exception and crashes entirely. The bad behaviour is a bit different on different Wine versions, but overall the outcome is the same; for example, this is the console log when trying to run the game on 5.0, which on desktop just works but here does this:

It's curious to note that on Wine1.7.55-v8 (the file system from boxedwine.org) I don't get an emulator crash, but rather the program terminates with an error that, translated from japanese to english, roughly reads like the following:
Touhou action record
T&L HAL appears to be unavailable
HAL does not appear to be available.
Try making the back buffer unblockable.
The T&L HAL does not appear to be a usable HAL
It doesn't even look usable
Direct3D initialization failed, game cannot be played.
Anyways, the last thing I noticed about this game is that it doesn't work even on Boxedwine for Windows if I use Mesa graphics instead of the Default one. Specifically, the emulator crashes on there too, but I can't really understand if that's related to the web crashes. Perhaps software graphics instead of native are the problem, since I assume on Web native graphics can't be used? I ran the emulator under normal Wine on my Debian Linux system to generate a stack trace, since on Windows the emulator just crashes silently:

In case you need to test with this specific game to replicate, I am maintaining a page on my private server with a special UI to help myself with testing of Boxedwine web in general: https://hlb0.octt.eu.org/Misc/BoxedWine/. (I'm trying to collect as many different Wine filesystems and working apps on there so that I can rapidly verify is some things work or not, and I've done these tests on there.)
