Which OS for Emulating Mid-90's Games

[TheELF]

Generally games didn't require 3d acceleration before dx7, so I'd imagine a VM can do software graphics for all the older games.

Vm will show up as an 480x400 VGA with 16 colors ,even games that are that old won't work on that.

You will have to run a tool like scitech display doctor which will give you some basic resolutions and will alow you to play some games.
Performance will be horible though.

Why not just run DosBox?

I've tried dosbox and my pentium II PC running DOS and the native solution was clearly better for one of my favorite games (Grand Prix 2), dosbox wouldn't run it at the correct speed with all the graphics on max (SVGA), also I have a few small problems on dosbox even with basic games,

VMWare doesn't provide SVGA?
There isn't some hardware emulated that does SVGA at least?

Try to build a PC using graphics cards and motherboards that have Win9X drivers might be the only real way to get 100% compatibility.

Wow, great find. I don't have much time today but I will try this out tomorrow with the test games I have on hand.
