Anyone know how to play Dos games on Windows XP? XP doesn't support ms-dos anymore and the command prompt is a fake version of it. Perhaps there's some program that converts the games or sets up a mini program like dos?

tried it on 5-6 different games. Some it sorta opened but all i saw was a black screen with like two words. Also the mount they tell you to do doesn't work. c c:\dosprog will give you the message "directory does not exist" but I managed to get by on "mount c c:\"

It's a bit complicated so if you could explain how to use it, that'd be great. Or if anyone has another program I'd appreciate that too.

Okay, you have to mount it to the directory where the game .exe or .com is located. Then type the exe name, eg: xcom.exe

You should really read the manual located at: http://dosbox.source...php?show_news=1
