Thumbs up

I have the original CD of games written for DOS, Win3, and Win9x. How do I get them to work with DOSBox? VDMSound? etc. I'm having a problem running Shadows over Riva on my XP laptop. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

You can have only DOS games to run in DOSBox.

Mount D drive as your CD rom. (read readme text in DOSBox)

Some Win games might run with VDMSound, but for rest you have either to use Win9X or emulators such as VirtualPC. (you still need win98 cd to install it)
