Hey HN,
I'm trying to install some old (german) Win 98 / 32 bit games for kids, but unfortunately they cannot be installed on modern operating systems. I already tried:
Not working:
- Dosbox (windows is required, I tried all tricks I found)
- Windows 7 or greater (even with compatibility mode)
- Wine on Linux (installer crash)
The only way I could get them to work (see references) is to install a Virtual Machine running Windows 98 SE, but on my wife's Windows 10 notebook this did not work (Virtual Box crashed).
Is there any better way, that I did not find?
