Win9x emulator for WinXP?

[aGorm]

Fuunny... cause I have tryed every patch, evey config set up, infact... everything short of installing Virtual PC for the last 5 years... Dos box was working except it gave no sound (for some CRAzzyyy reason)

Of course what your forgetting is that not all PC's are the same.

(To be fair to you though... you wern't to know that I had done all that. You know when you get asked to fix everyones computers and its always somthing realy basic that needs doing, and then on your own machine you get that problem that only you and 2 other people have ever had... and no one actully knows the solution. And then it turns out to be somthing realy obsure and you only find out 1) when the company that provided the product no longer exists or 2) the hardwear thats broken will set you back £200 becasue its just fallen out of the warenty. I suffer badly from that. Maybe computers just know I hate them...)

Anyway, yes I know for lots of people it does, but It dont on mine.

Funny, cause I installed MSVPC the other day purly to play MOOII... Doing it on very hard. Sometimes Bad graphics do = good gameplay. (I say Bad there actully amazing for the era)

Then play the windows version or does it run too fast?
I used to play the DOS version on a selfmade DOS7.11 on MSVP without problems too.

About DOSbox and sound: you have to configure dosbox properly before and setup your games right, never had an issue with it.

DOSBox is an emulator. It makes sure all the PCs are the same. That's its job :P

I'm guessing you either have an illegal copy or just didn't try enough options in MoO2's setsound.exe (hint: soundblaster, irq 7, dma 1, port 220).

No, think you missunderstand, I tryed every option. EVERY. DosBox obviosly just did not like my sound card for no oparent reason. Yes, that sounds daft, but seriosly thats the way it is. It works fine in dos box with sound on my brothers PC, Its littraly mine.

And the windows version does not run in XP native (or with any of the compatiblity stuff) HOWEVER, it did. At one point. Befor I got a newer PC. Like I said all PC's are differnt.

Anyway, I'm not sure why we are haveing some sort of arument anyway, cause I got it to work on MSVPC. Plus handily it means I can boot 98 at any time to check out things in old IE. Handy.

So it's alright then. The windows version does run here but way too fast. :(

Ive experienced that to. My mom wanted to run an old DOS game (The 7th Guest) but I could not get it to work with DOSBox. Whatever sound option I chose, the sound would not work and the game would crash. The sound card was a Creative Labs soundblaster card, so I know that was not the problem.
