A buddy of mine informed me of something today. He said some Finnish dude had designed a tiny Windows kernel that when combined w\ DosBox would allow one to run DOS games w\o too much pain.
This ring familiar to anyone?
anyone else know anything about this shit - DOS shit
I know the technology is there because MS released Sam & Max Hit the Road for XP as a bonus for pre-ordering Armed and Dangerous. It was the exact same game as the original and worked great. They just altered it so it could run in XP.

From what I understood, some dude made his own kernel that played nice w\ Windows shit. But it's only about 16K, very stripped down, but also functional. If you get that working on a machine & get DosBox on there as well, he implied DOS apps would run smoothly.So, DOS games inside windows XP?

Yea. I remember when my brother used to have Ultima 7 on his 33MHz machine. In order for it to run as intended, you needed to disable the turbo button & bring it down to 16.Guess you could do something like FreeDOS inside a Virtual PC. Though you'd still need something to slow the PC down, eh?
