The goal of this experiment will be to create a Retro Gaming Machine (PC) with ArcaOS 5.x (OS/2 Warp 4.52) . The idea is to list the things that you will need to setup ArcaOS to run:

  • Native compiled OS/2 games
  • DOS games on the virtual DOS VDM session that OS/2 has.
  • Windows 3.1 or 16bits games on Win-OS/2.
  • DOS games with DOSBox if required.

So let's start:

Native OS/2 Games

DOS Games with OS/2's DOS VDM

Win16 games with Win-OS/2

Trying DTA.

  • Install DTA (2002/11/30)
  • Configure the Win-OS2 Session:
    • EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT = 0
    • EMS_FRAME_LOCATION = NONE

Extra things for Windows 3.1

  • Quicktime 2.12, 1.81 M: The latest Quicktime version that will work with 3.1x. The archive additionally contains the Quicktime Internet-Plugin v. 1.1. [1]
  • Video for Windows 1.1e -
  • Media Player 5.2 beta, 5.5M [2]
