thraxlol Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hey guys! Wondering if anyone out there has some advice for me on how to get old Windows games launching and running through Launchbox (most likely through a VM of some sort like exoDOS collection uses) @eXo might actually be the best person to assist My setup: Modern Win10 machine, 16GB RAM, GTX 1080 GPU, Z270X-Gaming K5 mobo, i7-7700K CPU. I used Launchbox configured with just about every handheld, console, MAME, and the latest eXoDOS collection, so I'm hoping I have the required tools already installed and just a bit of direction in how to setup/launch them with something not pre-configured by eXo The games (or at least a few) that I'm looking to get working are: That's pretty much it.. any help and advice people have got is much appreciated! Thanks Edited by Lordmonkus Links to roms and games are not permitted, there is no such thing as "abandonware". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) For post Windows 3.1 games, you could check out PCem. If you google for tutorials there are a couple really good sites with files you will need as well. I set it up a few weeks ago and it was pretty painless, but not something I wanted to keep on my cabinet. (Just didn't mesh well) I stopped at running Win 3.1 games since they fit in, start fast and boot directly into them using DOSBox Edited September 20, 2019 by Headrush69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Most of these games were Win95 - WinXP era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Please don't link to games unless they are official freeware, "abandonware" is not a real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
