Advice for running abandonware DOS games under XP Sunday, January 30, 2005 at 10:10 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Trogdor (5 messages posted) If you're trying to run a really old DOS game under XP, there is a simple solution: dosbox.sourceforge.net This is an open source project that is distributed free of charge, and has no spyware. It runs DOS in an emulated window, and has nice features for emulating hardware such as old displays, soundcards, mouse drivers, etc. You can download it by following the above link, clicking the Download menu, and then clicking the Windows install. See the website for more info. This tool is great for running games like the early Ultimas, Goblins, Out of this World, etc. TROGDOR Responses to this message: re: Advice for running abandonware DOS games under XP (phantom: Sunday, January 30, 2005 at 1:36 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Advice for running abandonware DOS games under XP (Trogdor: Sun, Jan 30, 2005, 10:10 am) re: Advice for running abandonware DOS games under XP (phantom: Sun, Jan 30, 2005, 1:36 pm) re: Advice for running abandonware DOS games under XP (Matthew D.
