Old Windows games emulator
-
Hi
I wonder if there is any emulator on the retropie that allows you to play old windows games?
-
@Targenor dosbox is as good as you'll get.
-
Dos box.... Which I even use on my Windows 10 system to play old games
-
Does every game work in Dosbox? I thought there was a diffrence between dosgames and games for windows, if i remeber correctly some games couldnt be run in dos, instead you have to start them in Windows.
-
@Targenor raspberry pi is an arm architecture. windows is x86. There is no way you'll get Windows games running without direct ports of the game.
-
I haven't tested yet on the Pi
But at least on Dosbox it will do the older games (duke nukem 3D, rock n roll racing, ect)
-
I've installed Windows 3.1 within DOSBox on the pi. Runs well, but there weren't many good games for Windows 3.1...except maybe Ski-free!
