Those cases would specifically be games that are locked to software rendering like, for example, Rocket Jockey or Lifeforce Tenka. DOSBox-X includes that feature as well but 1) I don't like X very much and 2) performance between the two favors Daum heavily in cases where you would want to use DOSBox for 9x games. I recommend DOSBox Daum if you decide to go that route as it makes things easier with virtual IDE mounting. You can actually run W95 in DOSBox as well, though this is more complicated. I would also highly recommend setting up your virtual hard drives to be dynamically sizing - this means that in the emulated environment you could have say a 32GB HDD, but it wouldn't actually occupy 32GB on your host PC, it will only use as much space as is actually occupied with data on the virtual hard drive which is very useful for avoiding wasted HDD space. The reason being is this will allow you to tell the emulated Windows environment to shut down and it will automatically close itself out afterwards - with W95 or even with W98 if using an older mobo when you tell it to shutdown it'll then say "It's now safe to turn off your computer" and you'll have to change to windowed mode and then close the window. Thanks for everyone who want to help me in my situation.įor most 9x stuff I would recommend PCem setup with W98 SE, specifically with a FIC-VA or later motherboard. Maybe someone has a guide or a video for how to run old PC games for windows 95 and higher or down on LaunchBox.Īnd sorry for my question I just start LaunchBox Today for the first time in my life and I don't have experience with emulator. So I want to ask do make something wrong because I thing I do not add a emulator to it or maybe I done some thing by the import wrong. So I check if the game was in the database of LaunchBox and yes it is and even on EMO Movies since LaunchBox ask me if I want to download metadata and images for it.Īnd I try two ways first I install it manual from my PC by click on tools and import.Īnd the the second way was create a short cut and then just drag and drop the short cut in to LaunchBox.īut when I start it, it first runs good, the intro is playing with sound but then when the intro is done you should enter the Main Menu of the Game but in my case it crash or something else and I get this message:Īnd After I close it this message also come's up: So as you can read in the title I want to try to run some old game I still have the original CD from 2000 and up for Windows 95 and higher.Īnd a game I tried to run is Venom Codename Outbreak by GSC Game Worldand I think I do something wrong so maybe someone can help me I would really appreciate it! I am new to LaunchBox and the community and I would like to ask for some help.
