So i found an old game that i would like to replay, but it only works on win95, so am wondering if there is a emu for this?? Or some other way to get it to work??

Right click on the .exe and then go to "compatability" and then run in compatibilty mod for WIN 95

Never works but its worth the try lol

Also you could have a look for an XP patch for game. Bassically every old skool game has one


good luck!

Depends on why it doesnt work

Does it run but the gameplay is too fast? then you could try something like: cpu killer that will waste cycles of your computers processor slowing down the game.

Does the game just not load? Then the game probably actully runs in DOS not windows 95 try using DOSBox a DOS emulator for windows NT,2000,XP,2003.

It seems to be a problem with a windows system file called autobatc.nt that refusess to run dos and windows program:whip:

Tryed DOSBox, but it says the game is not dos compatible wich it is.

I have loads of window 95 games, looks like ill have to buy a seconed hand copy of it, and just use that.

or you can try it in a virtual machine (VMware workstation or MS virtual pc). it lets you install a different OS on the same machine and do what ever you want to it without harming yourself

I use PartitionMagic to set up and BootMagic to run different operating systems on the same computer, not at the same time of course. The different operating systems on separate primary partitions are hidden from each other.
