How to play 256 color games on windows 7




















First thing's first, you'll want to make a new entry for your game. To make this easy, I attached an export of my Atomic Bomberman entry. Just rename the file to whatever with an extension of reg so it can be imported.

Or, if you prefer a copy-paste, the export is listed as:. Run your game for a few moments; don't really need to play it, just run then quit to the desktop. It's important that you do this step, as you'll see below. Edit the file; there's a couple things that need to be changed.

The key name itself needs to be changed obviously. Change Bomberman to whatever is appropriate. Don't touch the rest of the name! The key under it is called "name". This is the name of the actual executable of the game. Change this as appropriate.. Leave "flags" alone, we want that as is. The final one is "ID". This will change from game to game.

Double click it in the registry, copy, then paste the value into the file, overwriting what's there. Make sure it still begins with "dword:". If you're on a 32 bit system, you're done. Go play. If 64 bit, you've got one more step to perform. Download Article Explore this Article methods. Tips and Warnings. Related Articles. Author Info Last Updated: August 6, Method 1.

Give your virtual machine a name, and tell it that you're installing Windows , and most of the options will be set up for you. You can opt for either dynamic storage or fixed-sized storage. Dynamic storage will keep growing until it hits the maximum you've allowed the storage space to be, while telling Windows that it always has the maximum to play with.

In contrast, fixed size actually creates a file of that size up front. We went with the latter for simplicity's sake, but it shouldn't matter. To actually install Windows , fire up your virtual machine. It'll display the First Run Wizard, which asks you where the install media is, typically this is a disc, but - cough - ISOs will do as well and set the process running. If for some reason it doesn't work for you, quit out, start the VM up again, and go to the Devices option at the top.

Fingers crossed, everything will now go as planned, although check the official VirtualBox forums if it crashes midway through installation. While we're sure this goes without saying, just to be on the safe side: neither Windows nor its installer can affect anything on your actual system. Don't panic when it tells you it's formatting the C: drive, it actually means the virtual one.
