[QUOTE="Coreforge, post: 799551, member: 36071"] The issue with wine and 64bit is that wine is not an emulator like the acronym says, it's just a translation layer that takes the windows syscalls and translates them to thr appropriate syscalls for the os it's running on. So you could run 64bit programs on 64bit wine, but there are some issues with it from what I've read. Another option would be Hangover by AndreRH on Github, but you'll have to build it first, and I'm not 100% sure if it'll work. A simpler option would be Qemu user space emulation as you don't need a full vm, but it should translate to 64bit so you can use 32bit wine. I'm not sure if pepakura is 64bit or not, but if it is, you should still be able to run it with wine. If none of these work, VMs are still an option like Fallen said.
