Ventura:

❯ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 0000000000010000-0000000000110000
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/Users/stan/.wine32' is a 64-bit installation.

So, I guess win32 prefix is no longer supported...

$ brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover
==> Caveats
wine-crossover supports running 32-bit & 64-bit windows binaries.

wine-crossover does not support creating a 32-bit wine prefix.

To enable noflicker set the following registry key in your prefix:
[HKCU\Software\Wine\Mac Driver]
"ForceOpenGLBackingStore"="y"

[...]

@doole what we can do about it? Currently, I’m using VMware, but I wanted to make wine works. It’s silly for Apple to just do everything to break compatibility by pushing useless Rosetta on their M1 chips

I have the same problem. Worked fine for me few months back, but now the win32 arch is not runnable on my MacOs M1 as well.
