Is there a stable version of Windows 98 to play retro games on VM? (lemmy.world)

I installed Windows 98 on Virtualbox to play old games but it has problems with graphics driver.

Is these an iso or drivers made for VM that make play old games on Windows 98 running smoothly?

If you're serious about the nostalgia, then your best bet is to find a 32-bit processor and build a dedicated win98 system. ISOs are available everywhere, most with updates and a disabled registration system. You might even try a 2k or XP system. Win2K was my gaming system of choice for many years, thanks to its backward-compatibility.

I prefer to run it on a virtual machine or emulator as I don’t have a space for dedicated machine.

Hmm... well, VMWare used to make a virtual desktop app that was far superior in the way it handled DirectX apps, but I don't know if they still have/support that.
