Old DOS mode Games in WinME?

[kingtbone]

Unsupported, impossible or just not recommended? Any tips on how to get around ME's dislike of DOS programs? I suppose using a boot disk with some mouse and sound drivers wouldn't be so hard, but an easier way would be much appreciated. Any thoughts?

Now that you mention it, I have a copy of Redneck Rampage I want to try.

There was an unofficial DOS patch introduced for Win ME which modifies IOS.sys,COMMAND.com,REGENV32.exe files and will enable DOS from F8.
Version 1.3 here <a href="http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/</a>

It however does not overly like the old dos games though. Win98/XP run in it like a charm.

Otherwise, use the unofficial patch, i had limited success with that. I would recommend the boot disk/boot CD options has your best alternative.

Good stuff Archer. I'll D/L that and pass it along, I'll see if it does the job. Thanks. I'm still open to other suggestions as well...
