Post Virtual pc
For all you oldies-lovers that don't feel like going tru a huge config process for playing a dos-based game: virtual pc!

Basically; you're "creating" a virtual HD on your physical HD, and then install an OS on that virtual HD WITHIN your main OS. (assuming winxp)

I've been doing it for a while now, have a virtual pc running win98SE in my WinXP, and i've been having some good fun with my dos-based games so far, w00t!

It's a microsoft product and can be tried out for free for some 40 days, so check it out:

sure thing. lol.

haha, sorry, I was utterly bored and saw I hadn't answered Derf's question. Don't know why, cos I knew the answer back then. :roll: Anyway, I'll carry on as an examplary mod and try not to dig up dead topics. :P
