DOS emulator for XP ?

[hansen_dk]

I just found my old disks with Transport Tycoon, and ****! I WANNA PLAY IT! But, here comes surprise.. It crashes after few minutes of playing..

And i have been searching, and searching, and searching! So what did I find ? Nothing usefull..

Is it me who is untalented, or is there no DOS emulators for windows XP wich works properly with old games, such as Transport Tycoon ?

If you know of any, or can help me run this game somehow, pleeeaaassee send me a message, a reply, a letter, anything, just contact me

I hope I get lots of smart answers to this

Take Care..

Have you tried making a shorcut and setting the shortcut to "Run in Windows 98 Compatiblity Mode"?

[hansen_dk]

yeah, I tried all of the compatibility modes, its all the same

Hoping for a emulator or something..

But thx for trying anyway man!

Ok! I figured you probably had already...anyhow, I found a neat little site that has some useful information. it's called Dosgames.com This links to a section of the site with helpful hints pertaining to XP.

thanks for the link, gonna try it out ASAP..

Yeah allright, so I tried it out.. Still the same problem, though I can play like 15 minutes or so now, but still, it sucks, I wanna play the game..

Guess I just have to use vm ware to setup a virtual MS-DOS machine, that could work I think.. (?)

I used DOSBox for Ultimate DOOM under Windows XP. I've also used VDMSound in the past to play WarCraft 2 with sound under Windows 2000 (also works in XP).

And if this is ok: Transport Tycoon Deluxe on Home of the Underdogs. (Windows version, works under XP with TTDPATCH).

I tried out dosbox, and TTD.. None of it works..

But, I found another solution!

I went upstairs, and found my old PII 350 mhz!

So now I'm gaming TT on win98

Anyways, Im still looking for a solution, cuz I WANT TO PLAY on my winxp machine.

Thanks guys.
