Windows 7 16-bit/DOS support

Post#1 » Sun Feb 28, 2021 4:37 pm

Hey,

After having played some 16-bit DOS games on my old Windows 7 tower, I happened to chance upon this link:
http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/ntvdmx64.html
It provides a version of NTVDM for 64-bit processors (NTVDMx64). I tried to install it once, didn't get it, then tried again with compatibility mode set to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)," and I ran it with "Run as administrator." After the install and recommended reboot, my 64-bit CPU can natively play my DOS games. This is an unofficial patch, so download at discretion. This might work on Windows 10?

Give this a try if you want to avoid DOSBOX.

It played SKUNNY KART at full speed.

Oh nice! I gave up on DOSBox ages ago, never got it to run anything. Will give this a go next time I feel up to the challenge.
