• Popularity of DOS/4GW made Win95 game compat easier, but with higher stakes

  Absolutely check out PCem for a closer to hardware emulation than dosbox, https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Anyone get Sid Meier's SimGolf Working?

  One option is to try PCEm https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ which is a emulator for old computers that runs on Windows and Linux, I actually learned about it via this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9HP9W88Wew of a guy playing Sim Golf on his Windows PC using PCEm, this should be similar on Linux but I'm not sure if the SteamDeck will have enough power but maybe worth a try.

• Is there anyway to port old abandonware Windows 95/98 game to Apple Silicon?

  For hardcore mode, compile PCEm - I think brew has most of the dependencies available ... https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ - have fun! Source: 12 months ago

• Is VirtualBox still really bad with Windows 9x?

  You use 86box or PCem which are not virtualizers but hardware emulators so you will need a really fast CPU (especially in single thread). The advantage is that Windows 98 will be running on period appropriate hardware, since all of it is being emulated real-time. Source: 12 months ago

• Intel Explores Transition to 64-Bit-Only X86S Architecture

  QEMU [0] emulates many systems, including the 32-bit Intel architecture. For retro gaming specifically I can recommend PCem [1], which also emulates a wide range of sound and graphics cards, from IBM MDA to 3dfx Voodoo 2.

• Barbie Secret Agent game for Mac

  Also, if your sister has an Intel Mac instead of an M1 Mac, I highly suggest VirtualBox and setting up something like Windows XP on that instead of Windows 11-- the steps will be pretty similar, and VirtualBox is free. Source: 6 months ago

• Is virtualbox.org down?

  I am unable to reach any page within the virtualbox.org domain including forums, but I can't find any post online about others having this issue. Is there a known problem at virtualbox.org or should I look locally? I usually get the error 502 - Bad Gateway. Source: 6 months ago

• Multipass: Ubuntu Virtual Machines Made Easy

  Some of these tools include Oracle VM VirtualBox (that I've used since before the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle), VMWare Workstation Player, and QEMU, but last year, I found out about Multipass. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Can I use a Mac?

  You can use a Mac, then use Parallels or Virtual Box for any virtual machines you might need(I prefer Parallels). There are Educational versions of Windows amongst other Microsoft products available to you through NJIT. Source: 11 months ago

• Will anyone continue on debian 11?

  I thought Debian doesn't have VB packages? Or are you the talking about the ones from http://virtualbox.org web site? Source: 12 months ago
