the way you run it is... run a retail copy of WC.EXE with the branch of dosbox3d then do wcnet startserver <port> on one machine and wcnet connect <ip addr> <port> then both machines just run wing commander as normal. and the first one can start the first mission and the other connects in and gets to play as spirit. You can play through the whole campaign this way

Now I almost regret never having really played WC back then. Suddenly having the ability to play a round or two in co-op sounds pretty amazing and it's the first time I've seen DOSBox used to augment a running program by peek- and poking around in its address space. I feel like this almost deserves its own post.
