I have a modern Windows 7 64 pro computer and have some old games from the Windows 98 era. On my last computer (also running Windows 64 pro), I found that the compatibility mode option was pretty good (even better than XP, for some reason), but MechWarrior 3 would still crash (and have some physics issues since my hardware was so fast). Last night, I installed Virtualbox and then installed Windows 98se from an install disk.
After that, I downloaded the unofficial Windows 98se service pack 3 and SciTech Display Doctor 7 (to fix the underwhelming Virtualbox vga driver). Due to the limitations of the Virtualbox graphics for such an old operating system, the game does not run well and does not allow for full graphics options since Virtualbox does not emulate a real card.
Question Time: Is there a program that can either emulate an old graphics card that I can use with Virtualbox OR is VMware better for what I am trying to do?
I have other old games too, but MechWarrior 3 is an old favorite and the one I use to test compatibility.
Thanks!
