Im more than sure this has been asked before, but I cannot find anything about it using the search. So what I want to know, is it possible to use DosBox to install and run Crusader no Remorse on a A7N8X Delux MB with 1GB of ram a 9800 pro, onboard Soundstorm audio? Also I am using a NTFS partition. Thank you!

No this isn't possbile yet.

Crusader no remorse uses some weird extensions that dosbox doesn't support at this moment

So i guess the best way to get that game to work would be put together a little machine to run it with 128mb of ram Fat32 partition. Do I even need to put windows on it? I mean I could boot off a floppy with my mouse, and sound drivers, right? would I also need to put video drivers on the floppy? Thanks for your time.

Or possibly set up a dual-boot system. Dragon Baroque has come up with a method of running Ultima VIII in Windows. Works well in Win9x, but has digital audio problems in 2000/XP (MIDI works fine).

No on the last question, "maybe" for the rest (it would depend on the individual hardware).

Honestly don't know, but I doubt it. This is basically a very clever hack that was made specifically for U8.
