Virtual Windows 98 Second Edition being a bit troublesome
Posted: 30. May 2011, 21:04
Hey, new here.
I'm trying to run Windows 98 SE inside a virtual box to, believe it or not, play a single game (Since Microsoft removed 16bit support in 64bit Win7) and I'm having a bit of trouble. There's no drivers for the emulated hardware, despite the fact Virtualbox is emulating older hardware (It's probably not as old as I think it is). I have tried virtualizing a install of XP and installing the Virtualbox drivers for that but alas I get a error when trying to use the D3D7 test in dxdiag which leads me to believe D3D6 isn't working either, and on top of that the emulated sound card has no drivers for XP.
Any tips on what to do so I can play my game? Help would be greatly appreciated.
