Unfortunately direct3d acceleration does not work in a lot of games. Some msdos games had also direct3d patches for win95/98. Dungeon keeper 1 and flying corps gold were among them.

Hi r/emulation! https://rjlpue.weebly.com/blog/usb-adapter-driver-download.
Wanted to get your guys's opinions on this, even though technically it may not be emulation. What is generally speaking, the best / easiest way to play some older PC games? I know DOSbox works for some, and obviously there is windows compatibility mode for others.
One game in particular that I'm having issues with is Swarm Assault, an old RTS game by Mountain King Studios. Caligula the movie uncut download. Running Windows 10, no amount of compatibility settings gets it to play at a reasonable framerate. I'm currently playing through it using a Windows XP Virtual Machine and it's playable, but there's pretty frequent flickering of some of the sprites and seems to be no fix.
In general, what do you guys do? Setup a Windows 98 Virtual Machine and just load up games inside of that? Magical jelly bean keyfinder download. Any compatibility hacks to run natively? Emulators?

Or, would it be better/easier to scour Craigslist postings and get an old rig for cheap, maybe throw in a high end video card for it's time and call it a day?
