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 ...

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
Image

(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
