I'm still using dosbox right now until I've finished building my DOS PC on which I will be running native DOS 6.22 and maybe an extra WIN95 boot option for file transfer from my other system

DOSBox would be my 1st choice here for my WinXP and Win2K machines, then Win98 DOS on another machine as 2nd choice. VDM Sound would be 3rd.

I prefer playing the DOS games in my real DOS included with Win98!
But I have an inbuilt sound card and it is games are unable to detect it, so I guess DosBox is the best out here. I have not been able to use that other tool, tried it sometimes, but I could not get it to work!

I choose DOSBox... and i belive that there are some games that don' t run on just any DOS system; i remember playing Crazy Cars III in my old 386. then one day i upgraded it to Pentium and "bye bye" Crazy Cars III. I only had the chance to play it again with DOSBox, so, for me: DOSBox rules :Brain:

I have finally created fully working system for ruuning old games under WinXP.
VDMSound and DosBOX are present. But few games doesn't work with them, or rather slow.
Solution to that is creating a Virtual PC (I used Microsoft Virtual PC). It is very simple, but you have to install all the additional software yourself. Like an OS or drivers. But that's not the big problem
Here is configuration of PC:
Pentium 200MHZ (or similiar)
RAM: Variable
Video: S3Trio 8Mb
Sound: SoundBlaster16 Awe32
I've succesfully installed and configured 3 PC's
1. WIN98SE
2. WIN95
3. Native DOS 7.0
Everything works smoothly. I finally ran the games which are Windows95 compatible and refuses to work under WinXP. (Magic The Gathering)
Of course there are few drawbacks :
1. Microsoft Virtual PC is shareware (but there is 45 days trial to download (16 Mb))
2. Requires a little of Dos knowledge (installing drivers, MSCDEX)
3. Doesn't support physical USB port :not_ok: (though COMs are working fine) My joystick wasn't too happy about that .
That's all I can think about right now.
So the best configuration is following:
Try to run a game using these emlators.
1. VDMSound
2. DosBOX 0.63(without any tweaking)
3. Virtual PC (one of systems required).
It is almost 98%, that everything will work ..
