Virtual PC Console

Sup all... was getting an itch of playing Jane's USAF... but the game doesnt run well in vista nor in XP... so I was looking around the net, and the hopes are really bad... there is no solution at all... only play the game in one of the old windows, or Emulator...

I am trying the emulator one... but the Virtual PC Console isnt really running well... they detect generic devices and i dunno where to find the drivers to get the USAF running for windows 98...
 
Does that game use 3D acceleration? Virtual PC doesn't support that at all.

You could try VMWare instead, which is supposed to allow it, but I had some trouble getting sound working in that.
 
hm... windows 2000... that sounds like a good idea... but I still with out understand why the backward compatibility is so bad with this game... and a planes one... that is so bad... considering how short the list of good flight sims are...
 
getting games to work on windows 2000 was always hit or miss. I advise just looking for a cheapo win98 box... try curbside 🙂
 
Ugh - this a bummer to hear. I have a copy of USAF I've been waiting to install after I finish a current campaign in IL2. Please post if you ever find a solution!
 
I never really had any trouble with games on 2000, but I really didn't play all that many games compared to some so maybe thats why.

It'd really be cool if some one made a "windows 98 box" like dosbox at this point, with say some kind of glide emulation maybe. Hell, I'd pay for that.

Its true an old windows98 machine is cheap...but I don't really have endless space to store an old crappy machine and who wants to monkey around with another junk PC everytime you want to play an old PC game for a half an hour?
 
VMWare has some sort of basic 3d emulation that might work.
That or Linux (say Ubuntu) with WINE might work.
