Running FS5...

Postby Wing Nut » Sat May 05, 2007 7:32 am

Anyone have any luck with this?  It's a DOS program and I am unable to run it under XP.

Look for a software called "DOSbox".

It's some kind of emulator for DOS.

DosBox is a good program for running old MS-Dos software. An upgraded version was recently released too. Be sure to slow down the cycles or FS5 will likely run ridicuosly fast. There is also a program for saving settings so they don't have to be done every time a program is opened.

Of course, you could also buy and old 386/486 for cheap and run it on that.
