![]() If you are using Windows XP or newer, or any non-Windows operating system, it is highly recommended that you use DOSBox. Windows Vista introduced a new graphics system that is incompatible with NTVDM, so only DOS games that run in text-mode are playable in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7.īeOS/Haiku, Linux, Mac OS X, and 64-bit versions of Windows don't support DOS software at all. ![]() A Sound Blaster emulator called VDMSound can resolve the audio issues on some games under NTVDM. NT-based operating systems run many DOS games very well, while some games lack sound or play too quickly. Windows NT-based operating systems ( NT, 2000, XP, 2003) include a Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) called NTVDM that allows DOS games to be played, and the version of NTVDM that comes with Windows XP even emulates a Sound Blaster 2.0. If you are using any of these operating systems, or a DOS operating system ( MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS), you should have little trouble getting DOS games to run, though you may require a slowdown utility if a game runs too quickly. Win16 runs on top of DOS (you must have a copy of DOS in order to have Windows 1.0 through 3.11), and Windows 95/98/Me have a DOS prompt and can boot into DOS Mode. How this is accomplished depends on what operating system your computer is running. DOS software can be run on any x86 computer, as well as many non-x86 platforms.
