Wanted to get your guys's opinions on this, even though technically it may not be emulation. What is generally speaking, the best / easiest way to play some older PC games? I know DOSbox works for some, and obviously there is windows compatibility mode for others. One game in particular that I'm having issues with is Swarm Assault, an old RTS game by Mountain King Studios. Running Windows 10, no amount of compatibility settings gets it to play at a reasonable framerate. I'm currently playing through it using a Windows XP Virtual Machine and it's playable, but there's pretty frequent flickering of some of the sprites and seems to be no fix. In general, what do you guys do? Setup a Windows 98 Virtual Machine and just load up games inside of that? Any compatibility hacks to run natively? Or, would it be better/easier to scour Craigslist postings and get an old rig for cheap, maybe throw in a high end video card for it's time and call it a day? My 'want to old a run game' method list in order: • Try running natively first. You'd be surprised how compatible 7/8/10 can be with some older games. You might even be more surprised that some of them have proper widescreen support! (though it's far in the minority there) • If that doesn't work, try looking it up at PCGamingWiki and/or try patching it (if there is a patch available) b. If there's an unofficial fan patch you could try it, though beware of fan cruft on some of them. • If it's a 3d game you might want to try a glide wrapper (nGlide, dgVoodoo2) or a Direct3d 5-7 wrapper (dgVoodoo2, despite the name, does two apis now) • NUCLEAR OPTION: PCem. You would have to manually set up a new Windows 9x install, hard drive images, and slow performance depending on host (the fastest guest cpu is PMMX 300) • Get an authentic old win9x rig. This could be anything from the AXP/P4 down. VMs suck for Win9x btw. Poor video driver support and still no real speed control for te lot of them. You don't mention WHAT 'XP Virtual Machine'?
