VMWare
Which VMWare product do you download to play KQ8 and how do you set it up and install Win98 on it?
Re: VMWare
I know that it works fine on XP

Re: VMWare
Virtual Machine will work. And it's free. You need to have own a Windows 98 CD, though.

Re: VMWare
I've personally had better luck running KQ8 via VDMSound through Windows XP.

VDMS is for DOS games. I have used it before to kick start a couple of 16-bit Windows games that would launch WOW, but not NTVDM under XP, like KQ6 Win, but MoE is a 32-bit game that does not use either WOW or NTVDM.

Yeap. I just booted into XP and double checked to make sure I wasn't crazy. KQ8 is setup through a VDMSound shortcut. Launched the game to make sure it ran through it, and sure enough, runs perfectly. When I tried running it without VDMSound, I'd get the KQ8 MOE splash screen, then it would just jump back to the desktop.

Re: VMWare
VmWare, I've noticed, costs over $100.
There has to be someway a patch can be made for KQ8 to work on Windows Vista/7

Re: VMWare
That's for advanced unnecessary features. VMWare Player is free.
