It worked on the V1 on 95. The V2 and V5 were both on 98. Perhaps it is a rare statically-linked version. Use a hex-editor to search the game's main executable for the presence of strings containing the word "Glide". Use a file search to confirm the absence of Glide OVL/DLL/DRV files in the game …

but you may miss some of the features XP Mode has (that "desktop-less" mode that makes things look like they're running in a native window, for example) It is the seamless integration of XP Mode apps that would be what the OP is after, so that there would be no more effort than running a native app …

I assume that Win8 does not have XP Mode. It does not. Theoretically (as my link says), you can disassemble the XP Mode pack for Windows 7, extract the VHD file, convert it and use it with any old virtual machine... but you may miss some of the features XP Mode has (that "desktop-less" mode that …

I'm guessing you can get an "adapter" for this just like you can get "adapters" that make HDMI into VGA or whatever other nonsense. Very few of these abominations ever work, and in a lot of cases can cause damage to one or both devices used in the attempt (the "funniest" one I've seen recently is a …

Not sure why you're wanting to use the PowerVR PCX2s, since they really didn't see much good use, outside of Dreamcast/Naomi. PowerVR PCX2 has nothing to do with the SEGA Dreamcast (except for being a direct predecessor of the PVR2). Confused it with the Neon 250, no doubt. PCX2 with PowerVR Series …
