Do you guys have advice for running old pc game on a new machines.

dfend our just get the game from gog. and i can whip that game like I own it.

DosBox for most things pre 2000, WinXP on VirtualBox for anything else. If it can't run on either of those it probably uses some black magic fuckery (I'm looking at you MW3) and can't be properly emulated anyway.

Install gentoo.

Srsly.
A lot of shit just works with wine.

Just get the game on GOG, 9 out of 10 times the game runs perfectly out of the box and for the part where shits not working you can bet your ass somebody already has a solution on the forums.

For the games I want to play gog users still have problems with Zeus from what I can see by their comments. And gog doesnt even have fate of the dragon.

GOG with old games is just games wrapped in DOSBOX configured for that game, so even if they havent released it, a solution may already exist

get a dosbox GUI, someone said "dfend"

consult the forums vogons.org

some late mid 90s windows games that wont run can be made playable wirthout virtual machines with some hardware emulators/drivers like:

ScummVM
Sven Glide Wrapper

what else?

i guess best option is to buy an old pentium 133 and run it inside a oil tank to hold off rust until the sun dies

Although a meme to hate on W10, my compatibility with older stuff only went up by going from 7 to 8 and 8 to 10.

If something acts up, compatibility mode always has worked. What game is having issues with animation stutter anyway?
