Does anyone know a good Windows emulator? I'm looking specifically for Windows 7/8 or Windows 7 ultimate.
You want a win7 emulator??
Or a specific emulator for use on win7
Umm can you be a little more specific. Really don't think there's a win7/8.1 emulator out there. What are you trying to do?
My friend is picky and thinks a problem on WoW is being caused by the fact I'm using windows 10. I'm looking for an windows 7 or 8 emulator that's compatible with windows 10. I doubt it'll fix anything, but I do kinda want to get the emulator anyway.
Yeah there's no such thing. They're just too damn big. There was some progress on a win 3.1 emulator awhile back (only plays one game: the original Starcraft) but yeah that doesn't help.
Only thing you can really do is get an actual copy (through whatever means :whistle: ) and either look into any dual boot options or backup and wipe your drive and install it. Or even see if there's a compatibility mode option in win10 that would work.
I would look into why the game is having problems though in win10 and look up a fix. Could be outdated drivers or a some simple settings issue. Don't really know that game or what issue you're having with it in the first place. If it works for you though and you're friend is just complaining for the sake of complaining then tell him to shutup :P
I had a feeling lol. thanks anyway, now I don't have to wait forever to download stuff.
You should be able to run older versions of Windows using VirtualBox.
I have Windows 7 professional sp1. I have been able to emulate and recommend the following emulators:
NES - JNES.EXE
SNES - SNES9X.exe
ATARI 2600 - STELLA.exe
ATARI 5200 - Atari++.exe (See my post for settings)
ATARI ST - Steem SSE 3.3.0\Steem SSE 3.3.0.exe
NINTENDO 64 - Project64 2.3\Project64.exe
Playstation 2 - PCSX2 0.9.8\pcsx2-r4600.exe (Need fast machine)
Playstation 1 - Playstation 1 (Ken Castle)\KEN ePSXe.exe
SEGA (Genesis, Master System, CD, 32x) - Sega\Genesis\Fusion364\Fusion.exe
That's what I've found so far. I hope this helps...
Ah. Forgot about this! No idea how to use it myself but I suppose it is another option.Quote:

Windows 10 is certainly not without issues, I for one reverted back to 7 because of issues with some of the programs I usually use, but most things did work fine if you are a basic user
