Okay listen: I am less than tech-savvy, but I tried so many step-intensive things on my dinky PC, to no avail.
I use Windows10 home (yes, I know, bear with me!) and am just trying to boot games I already OWN!!! No dice. Now I just sit here, arms crossed, and seethe “I hate u, computer.”
Yes, I’ve enabled the IIS and tried to use the option to allow program to run 32-bit. No dice.
I’ve tried compatibility mode. Absolutely nothing (Windows, you useless-ass shitwad).
I struggled through DOSBOX as a non-tech person, managed to do the Windows 3.1 thing, tried to boot my files through there, got as far as the install screen!!! Stuck at 0% probably forever. So it was a failure.
Tried running old game files from some people who are smarter than me that emulate the D:\ drive instead of the physical disks. Zilch.
FrikkiN AHHHHH!!!
I JUST WANNA RELIVE MY NOSTALGIA AND SHOW MY KID ALL MY OLD AND SHITTY GAMES I USED TO PLAY AS A KID!!!
Could anyone give a solution that won’t have me downloading and installing 6 trillion new programs? Any helpful links a non-tech person could understand?
Swear to god, I’ll Cashapp 5$ to the first person to give a solution I can reasonably follow & that works.
Also you will have my adoration forever. Thanks.
From GoG specifically, as they patch the older games on their store to “just run” on modern Windows
