    How did you do that? I'd like to do that with Sonic 3D Blast.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Sonic Cd has a fix. It is a file you have to find and download to apply the patch.


    Sonic-R ( which has a graphics update ) also has a fix


    ...........

    If you want to play games from earlier windows release you could


    1. DOSbox with special fixes and commands.
    2. Winbox for X86box ( an emulator like .... 3 or 4 ) however much lower resources because this goes way back .
    3. Oracle VM VIrtual Box
    4. VMware workstation Pro series

    2, 3, 4, you literally have to install the OS, but again they even have Tiny releases and fixes for those so it should not take up much space at all.

    That being said you could mount your physical drive to those options, or the ISO drives.
