Install it to a VM or separate partition as you would for Windows XP. There is also ReactOS, an independent implementation of Windows. WINE isn't perfect but has a decent chance of running your game. Use WINE (a user-space implementation of the Windows software platform) on a host operating system (a BSD or Linux operating system installed on a VM should do). See if you can get your game working on Compatibility Mode on your current OS If you don't have and can't get a copy of Windows XP you have some other options: This is a bit of a mission because to this day Microsoft is terrible at handling multibooting, so VM is your best bet. If you need more performance than a VM gives you then you could set aside a partition on your hard drive and install XP directly onto that partition. If you want emulation you don't need a special "Windows XP emulator" all you need is to get a PC emulator - such as, VirtualBox or Virtual PC - to make a virtual machine and then install Windows XP onto that VM. DOSBox combines two separate functions - it is an implementation of DOS (more-or-less) and it emulates a machine running this implementation.
