PC Game Help.
-
Hi, I have a quick question. I've been looking around for a set up guide on how to do this, but can't seem to find anything. So I'm hoping its possible to do this. Anyway, is there a way to play old PC games on Retropie? Not exactly MS-DOS, like I'm talking cd-rom based games.
I have two games in particular that I really want to play again (Dark Earth, Sanitarium), I have the actual cds for the game. How do I go about playing these on my retropie? Is there any way to do it? Would I have to install the game on my pc and somehow extract the files onto my raspberry pi, or would I have to find a .exe file of the game online and transfer it to my pi? Any help would be greatly appreciated! And if this has already been answered before, I apologize I couldn't find a topic on it. Thanks all!

@Msch87 do they run on dos, windows 3.1, 95, xp?? We need a little more info to help you.

@Msch87 ok from what i can tell, sanitarium requires windows 98. That one wont run at all since you cant emulate windows 98 properly in dosbox. I have no clue about the other as i cant find its system requirements.
-
Both can run on Windows 95/98/Me/XP

@Msch87 ?
-
Sorry, Dark Earth can be run on Windows 95 and 98
Sanitarium can be run on 95, 98, Me, and XP
-
@Msch87 due to not having dosbox daum on the pie you cant emulate a voodoo card to get those games working right in windows 95. If it ran both 95 and dos in them then that wouldnt be an issue as you could run it in dos. But games that require quicktime wont run properly in dosbox.

Well thats depressing. Crap, ok then. I'll have to find a way to run them on my Windows 10 laptop instead. Figured it'd be more convienient to run em on the Pi. Thanks for the help!
