@slytyman13,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

Had to look this up: "M****n N_F_L 97" is a sports video game released in 1996, and it's quite old by today's standards. The minimum system requirements for playing Madden 97 are very basic compared to modern gaming requirements. Here's what you would typically need:

 

DOS Version:

MS-DOS 5.0 or higher.
486 SX-33 CPU or higher.
4 MB RAM.
VGA graphics card.
Sound Blaster or compatible sound card.
8X CD-ROM drive.
Hard drive with 16 MB of free space.
MS-DOS compatible mouse or controller.


Windows 95 Version:

Windows 95.
486 DX-66 CPU or higher.
8 MB RAM.
VGA graphics card.
Sound Blaster or compatible sound card.
2X CD-ROM drive.
Hard drive with 16 MB of free space.
MS-DOS compatible mouse or controller.


Please note that these are exceedingly low system requirements by today's standards, and you would need an older computer or emulator to run Madden 97. The game may not be compatible with modern operating systems, and you might experience compatibility issues or need to use emulation or VM software to run it on a current W11 system.

 

Here are some emulator software options:

 

DOSBox: DOSBox is a popular and widely used emulator for running MS-DOS games and applications. It can be used to run many older DOS-based games, including "Madden NFL 97."

VirtualBox: VirtualBox is a free and open-source virtualization software that allows you to create virtual machines with different operating systems. You can install an older version of Windows (e.g., Windows 95 or Windows 98) in a VirtualBox virtual machine and play the game within that environment.

VMware Workstation: VMware Workstation is another virtualization software similar to VirtualBox that allows you to create virtual machines with older operating systems for running legacy software.

PCem: PCem is a more advanced emulator that can simulate various PC hardware configurations, including older CPUs and graphics cards. It's suitable for running a wide range of older PC games.

Hyper-V (Windows only): In Windows, you can use Hyper-V, a built-in virtualization solution. It allows you to create virtual machines with various operating systems, although it may require specific Windows editions (e.g., Windows 10 Pro) and hardware virtualization support.


Please note that when using these tools, you would typically install an older operating system (such as Windows 95) on a virtual machine and then install the game within that virtual environment. Make sure to check the compatibility of the emulator or virtual machine software with your specific game and system requirements. Additionally, you may need to source a copy of the game that's compatible with the chosen emulation or virtualization environment.

 

Kind Regards,
