Hi everyone

Does anyone know how to emulate window 95 from windows 98
I belive I did the process once before but I forgot how
Is there anyone that can refresh my memory on the procedure
For accomplishing this. I have a couple of real older game
I wanted to play that will only function on win 95 I tried
Them on 98 but they crached to the desk top half way through

All help appreciated

What are the names of the games?
I don't know of any Windows 95 games that don't work in Windows 98.

However I do know of some that will crash on computers that are too fast.
And I know of some games that don't work on Windows 98 if your version of DirectX is too "new" (like Armed and Delirious).

The Arrival has to have CD sound disabled in Windows 98, but it runs OK after that.

And then there are those games with VESA problems on newer video cards, but that's not a Windows 98 problem.

Then there can be QuickTime issues -- again not the fault of Windows 98.

Just depends on what game you're talking about.

Hi Jenny100

The game I am refering to are as follows (Mission Critical) & (Legacy Of Time)
The first one ran for a while and than crashed to the desk top.
The second one Crashed about 1/3 of the way through,I am going to load it in again
And see what happens.
The Legacy Of time game seems to be run ok the second time,I will let you know if
It crashes again although there is not much you can tell me I guess.I just wanted to find
Out if anyone else is having the same problem on these old games.

Thank You

You can buy JOURNEYMAN PROJECT 3 THE LEGACY OF TIME on GOG for $5.99 Gog states this version will run on Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 10



JOURNEYMAN PROJECT 3: THE LEGACY OF TIME on GOG

Mission Critical ran for me in WinXP from D-Fend Reloaded as DosBox gui. I did create an .iso image DVD with the contents of all three CDs which made D-Fend easier to use.

I ran Mission Critical under Windows 98 by booting to DOS mode, and I don't remember it crashing.
Maybe the game is more stable under DOS.
But if you want to try running it in DOS mode, the computer has to be set up for sound in DOS.

Mission Critical will also work in DOSBox, like Robert Gault mentioned.

I ran Journeyman Project 3 in Windows 98 earlier this year with no crashes. However the game does use QuickTime and may be fussy about which version you have installed. You could try checking the QuickTime settings in Control Panel and see if there's an option for "QuickTime Safe Mode" or "Safe Mode (GDI Only)" in the video options. The Riddle of the Sphinx website used to have a lot of tips on fixing QuickTime problems, and that's one of the things they suggested. Their troubleshooting page is archived ***here*** if you want to check their other QuickTime tips, but they may not apply to all versions of QuickTime.

Be sure to reboot Windows 98 after a game crashes.
Reducing audio and/or video (hardware) acceleration is something that used to be suggested to help stop game crashes in Windows 98.

I also created a DVD from the 3 CDs and it worked flawlessly in D-Fend Reloaded with DosBox.

The GOG version of Journeyman Project 3 ran perfectly on my Win 7 64 bit computer.
