You can find some Windows games on abandonware sites, Civilization 2 was a good one :) It wasn't hard.ĭOSBox sucks for Windows, though, you should probably just run a VM, added performance. I once hacked XP to natively run the NT 3.51 shell on startup, instead of Windows Explorer. There are some surprisingly modern browsers available for 3.1, grab Opera 3.62 (also Netscape 4 and IE 5.5), and try Calmira for a Win9x type of GUI running under 3.1 - put the default XP wallpaper on that, and you will fool a lot of people :) This is also a great site to get old software: You can get pretty much every OS and application here: Honestly I'm surprised you found it hard to track down old software, there's a pretty huge scene around it.

At that point you could have a very large FAT32 volume, but above a certain size threshold your cluster size would balloon to 16KB or so, and you'd still be hobbled by the ~4GB filesize limit.

You can hex-edit the COMMAND.COM from a Windows 95B or higher boot floppy, replace the "Windows 95(c)" or whatever tag's in there with "MS-DOS 7.xx," partition and format C:\, do a quick install to the hard drive's boot record from the floppy, copy over files from the old C:\Windows\COMMAND directory into C:\DOS, roll your own autoexec.bat and config.sys with proper path setting, reboot, and have a functional DOS install with FAT32 support. But what other applications (and, potentially, games) does this give me access to? How far can I take this?"
