Well different game engines have different requirements. The games you listed are either unoptimized console ports or old engines optimized for older versions of OGL & DirectX.

You don't have an 9x/XP dual-boot on that system do you? Would be interesting to see what the behavior would be with a newer OS/Video drivers on the same machine. GF4 MX is pretty much a GF2. I seem to remember there being pdf docs that would come with some Nvidia beta drivers which would describe …

DOSBox only runs DOS games. DOSBox is not for Windows games. The error you received is because you are trying to run a Windows game in DOSBox. As for you downloading the game....WE DO NOT SUPPORT ABANDONWARE HERE. GO TO WHERE YOU DOWNLOADED THE GAME AND ASK THEM FOR HELP WITH IT. Thread Closed.

DOSBox doesn't have an autoexec.bat, it has an [autoexec] section in DOSBox.conf where you put the commands that would have gone in Autoexec.bat in DOS. As for a Z image? Are you referring to a CUE/BIN file? Are you referring to a drive letter? The Z drive in DOSBox? You wouldn't be able to access …
