The problem here is that this software is not meant to run games. You can use Virtualization software like VMWare or VirtualBox to run Windows 3.11, 95, 98, XP or even some versions of Mac if you do some editing and manually configing. DOSBox can be used to emulate Windows 3.11 and DOS Based versions of 95, but not successfully when it comes to games. Whereas, 16bit applications are written using just as old technology, it just inherently can not run because Modern OS does not have any instruction on 16bit applications. It's very much more complicated because use the same statement but supplement graphical with sound, or net code, etc etc etc. It's that it is written using 10, 15, 20 year old graphical calls that most OSes don't work with anymore. Anyways, It's not the 32bit portion of the application that has problems. Some servers experiment with 64GB and 128GB, but that is not the scope of this. Most motherboards are still at a 32GB RAM limit. 64bit can theoretically use an unlimited amount. There are some other limitations but this is the primary limitation. The primary difference being that 32bit OSes can only read and utilize up to 3GB of RAM. There are two flavors of OS, 32bit and 64bit. Those are the ones that can not be run on any modern OS. 16bit applications are the primary from the Windows 95 and 98 era. This is very long and arduous, so bear with me. I usually get an error when trying to run these games regarding 32 bit application can't be run or something hence why I was looking for Emulation. I checked the sticky on the page for any mention of Windows emulators but couldn't find anything. I've used DosBox for all of the MSDOS based games I have but there are still some old games in my catalogue that require windows 95/98 or XP and I just wondered if there was any emulators out there like DosBox that could emulate the correct environment for these games. New to LaunchBox and this Forum (both seem awesome!)
