Oh I did not know about this! I just based my understanding from the official Microsoft documentation. Thanks!

Unfortunately, even this isn't perfect. For example, when running Tetris from WEP, the colors are off/weird (I'm guessing a color depth issue). It is, however, good enough to run just about any old crap I've given it.
