Also, for some old games there are official AND unoffical patches.
I found these pathces:
- NFS5 Enhanced patch
- NFS Porsche Unleashed XP patch
- Red Alert and CNC Gold XP patch
- cli2nop (fixed crashes in DOS games)
- nolfb (enables 640x480 VESA)
- DOSbox (DOS emulator)
- VDMSound (XP DOS sound emulator)
- SoundFX 2000 (XP DOS sound emulator)
With these I got almost ALL old DOS and Windows games working
For "Quake" get the "GLQuake" update, it works with XP
VDMSound made these DOS games run nice WITH sound on XP:
- Descent II
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Leisure Suit Larry 5
- Leisure Suit Larry 2
- Leisure Suit Larry 3
- Leisure Suit Larry 1
- Settlers 2
- Terminal Velocity
