She used a Win95 or something graphically similar, I don't remember, but it was in Japanese, and she had a system that virtualized everything, every program she had, ran in a virtual "capsule", because if the program crashed, the system wouldn't would be compromised. Well, that definitely wasn't …

So, perhaps, DOSBox, if optimized, could provide performance of a Turbo XT on fast 486 system. Again, many features would have to be omitted, perhaps, resulting in a DOSBox "Lite". Maybe all cores, except for a 486 dynarec core, could be removed ? 4MB memory limit ? Just one VGA devices instead of …

To take a wild guess, I suspect it may not be compatible with 512 MB of RAM, in which case the easiest fix would be to use HIMEMX to restrict the amount of RAM to something much smaller. Strictly for troubleshooting purposes, in the hopes of narrowing down …

I had this game with cutscenes showing before. What does that mean? You had it on same computer where you are currently trying to run it, under Windows 7 64 bit? It has to do with the codec if memory serves... You had to copy the files, or add codecs to folders or something.. If it's Smacker, then …
