The Windows NT kernel (yes, both windows 2000 and windows XP uses the NT kernel (2000 is NT 5.0 and XP is NT 5.01)) Even though you might see similarities in some parts of the newer windows versions, this is just superficial. DOS had another method of handling drivers and system configuration. You don't actually have a problem with 16-bit apps, you have a problem with DOS applications. The primary reason why old games started working when people got winnt, win2k, winxp etc, is that DOS is no longer a part of Windows, as it used to be in the Win9x platform. It is also possible to set up the command prompt to run older games, if you get all the drivers you need. than somehow running boths OS at the same time.Īs the other dude mentioned, you have Dosbox for old games. ![]() ^^ The other idea was taking a partition and putting windows 98 on it. The 2 ideas i was thinking about is there already being a program that emulates 16 bit on windows xp WowExec is the 16-bit emulator for Windows XP is there a way you can run a windowed 16 bit game on windows XP. ![]() I want to play some DOS games on my computer, but the command prompt seems to run really messed up and cut games off whenever it feels like. This has 2 reasons, #1 for the function and the other is for the knowledge ![]()
