3d games in dos box


Arcade

Recommended Posts

Yes, I've been playing Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall recently. Some games may have issues over others, and you may need to change around settings here and there. If you don't have a special conf file for the game (the exodos cxollection has specialized conf files for example), then looking online for the settings should help. Some versions of DOSBox may be better for it too, like DosBox-x or DOSBox LFN which are based on the more up-to-date SVN builds of DOSBox.

ok nice one what about windows based games like old windows 95 and 98 3d games

It depends on the game - some early Windows games had both 95 and DOS support (Quake is an example of this), so for the ones that still supported DOS, you can play them through DOSBox from the get-go. Where you'll run into trouble is with 16-bit PC games. For those you'd have to do something like either install an appropriate version of Windows through DOSBox or setup a virtual environment with something like VirtualBox. That's doable but a bit of a pain. I've got a few games like Burn:Cycle and Dark Seed II setup to do this but it really is a hassle. Mid 90's stuff started moving to 32-bit and those are typically still playable in current Windows, though sometimes requiring a bit of tweaking or run through compatibility mode.
