When you tried the VMs that worked were they on the same machine as the server? Also try comparing wireshark results between a working and a non-working config on both client and server.

I was checking out the latest smartsteamemu and it looks like it's still compiled with Visual Studio 2010 so should work fine for XP and Vista. Most games will load fine using this, for the ones that don't Revolution Loader will, those remaining usually have 3rd party DRM that requires cracks. Again …

DOSBox 0.74 working fine on Windows 10 x64 w/ Intel HD Graphics 530 v24.20.100.6194 6/20/2018 Wonder if 1803 is incompatible with old Intel HD drivers. On the Intel site the highest OS is Windows 8 for the Intel HD 3000.

Check my guide in the DOSBox compilation guide thread. MinGW guides are in the Google Drive link. SDL_Net 1.2.8 This error started to occur when mingwrt was updated to 5.0.2 I think. My copy of SDL_Net on Google drive removes the functionality that causes the error. DOSBox doesn't use this anyway. …

DOSBox doesn't support Windows 95 as a guest. I heard that Chromebooks may support Linux programs if they don't already if so then pcem,virtualbox,vmware,wine etc would be your best bet. Closed

No. DOSBox supports 64bit but no one cares right now because MacOS still supports 32bit and MacOS market share is so low it's currently not that big of a deal even though the Internets makes it a big deal. If you want start a new thread when you know what you are talking about. No need to create …

No SSE support in 9x but if the program requires SSE it should still run as long as the processor has SSE support. NT4 I think requires a certain SP level or the SSE driver. Haven't verified that yet.

DOSBox really isn't that hard to compile, check the mingw guides in the compilation thread in my sig. If you just want to run regular DOSBox w/ dynamic libraries on a i686 machine then all you have to compile is SDL and DOSBox. My guides are focused on compiling everything since I'm focused on …

Check LAN speed before you test internet speed. If you're using 9x and not NT then you'll likely need to tweak MTU settings, etc. Also if it's an older computer you'll be limited by processor, HD speed, etc.
