I'm attempting to run moo 1 on win xp home edition...it is
a dos based program the requires ems. i've tried several
places and several pieces of advice and the game still
tells me that i need a ems driver...i've downloaded one
but it doesn't seem to do anything. any advice appreciated
 
Hi j,

You're in luck. In the past, I've been offering a Multi
bootdisk solution, which essentially is a diskette you
can boot from to have a real DOS environment to be
able to play DOS games in. However, ideally it would
be nice to be able to create that environment inside of
XP. This can be done using VM Ware, but it's costly.

Two (free/shareware) solutions exist: DOSBOX is one:
of them: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php
and TameDos was brought to my attention by Chris H.:
http://www.tamedos.com/downloads/downloads.htm

Give us some feedback on those. Which one did you
find the easiest to use; most adaptable; the fastest? :-)
