What's the output of

pacman -Qs wine
uname -a

Are you sure? In wine 1.7.38's programs/winecfg/appdefaults.c there's quite a selection:

} win_versions[] =
{
    { "win81",       "Windows 8.1",       6,  3, 0x2580,VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT, " ", 0, 0, "WinNT"},
    { "win8",        "Windows 8",         6,  2, 0x23F0,VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT, " ", 0, 0, "WinNT"},
    { "win2008r2",   "Windows 2008 R2",   6,  1, 0x1DB1,VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT, "Service Pack 1", 1, 0, "ServerNT"},

Re: emulating windows98 through wine[SOLVED]

At least when using winecfg (on x86-64), the oldest supported OS version is Windows XP. I remember seeing something about support for older systems being dropped, but I might have dreamt about it

Re: emulating windows98 through wine[SOLVED]

Which makes sense as you are using the 64bit version of wine/windows which never existed for earlier than XP. The options are still there though if you make a WIN32 prefix so you should look into that

PS: That's literally what the code snippet brebs posted hints at, if WIN64 only show options that have both versions ELSE show all the legacy 32bit variants.

Right on the money 'WINEARCH=win32 winecfg' shows all the options brebs highlighted before.
