I think BGB works on NT 4.0,as it offers GDI (only used it),OpenGL and DirectDraw. Due to this,you should include it. Also the already existing section only focuses on GBA/DS BGB, a GameBoy and GameBoy Color emulator requires DirectX 7, which won't work under Windows NT 4.0 and in Windows 95, it …

If you're not using the updated version of FDISK or FORMAT for Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition, you're faced with a cosmetic bug. When Windows 98 was released in June 1998, hard disks and other media larger than 64 GB in size were not available until the end of 2000. By the time a 75 GB IDE …

If you're running Windows 2000 as a guest operating system, you probably won't get 3D acceleration support if the virtualHW.version parameter is set greater than 9. When I got Windows 2000 running, I had to set the parameter in line 3 of config.vmx file to read virtualHW.version = "9". I don't know …

I'm a bit bored here...so, I'm gonna ask you a simple question here. Today, I had two ham and cheese sandwiches on bread with mustard. The mustard was totally empty and I had to toss it in the trash. What favourite meal do you like to eat for lunch? 😀 Post your thoughts. I love to hear it. 😄

Emulation and even virtualisation can be done on Windows NT 4.0, just without the use of or very limited use of DirectX. I have ran emulators on Windows 95 before. Finding a good emulator to run under Windows NT 4.0 is going to be challenging.

To answer your question. A full installation of Windows 98 or later on a 128 MB hard disk can be very difficult, if not nearly impossible without having to go through hacks and workarounds. Per the system requirements, upgrading from Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 will reuqire at least 120 to 295 MB of …

As far as I know, DOSBox (and its variants) don't support Windows NT 4.0, because it requires bootable CD-ROM support and I don't think that DOSBox has the capability for it. Plus, DOSBox lacks functions that require a fully working Windows NT environment. So, if you want to install and run Windows …
