| just wondering. I'm aware it's on top of DOS, but it's not 6.22, and most stuff I'd play is probably late 90s-early 2k stuff rather than mid-90s. vmware 10 might do given it does support hardware accelerated graphics in 9x hosts. not sure what DOSBox is like, or other virtualisation/emulation software (except that vpc2007 only emulates 2D gfx and vbox is garbage for 9x/ME). anyone else had any experience running older 9x based games in modern OSes? i use vista x64 (this machine has AMD-V, one of the first AMD processors to include it as a matter of fact) so hw virtualisation is possible  |

| I've used vmware and DOSBox. If the game in question can run on DOSBox, do that. Its much more stable and actually runs quite smooth. VMWare with a legit copy of Win98SE would work great, too. Heck, you could probably get away with WinXP for a lot of stuff.
My brother didn't want to deal with any of that, so he keeps a Pentium III PC with Win98SE sitting around that he does old games on. You can probably find an old Win 9x box around eBay/Craigslist for fairly cheap, too. |

| Well thats nice to know
ME would also probably work nicely for newer 9x games I guess thats dont require real mode, since it's basically an extension to 98SE. But I'll keep the 98SE VM going too (as well as a DOSBox install) 
And also, another quick comment, p3's are great for 98se |
