I'm a newbie and need lots of help!

So my Warcraft AND Doom roms that I got here says it's not compatible with the version on windows I am running (which is Windows 7). Is there some sort of download or somethin I need to do??? I love these games!!!

I had the same problem with Warcraft! =]

You have to use DOSBox to emulate them on your computer (since they are older games)

You can get links where to download and info on how to install and use in this post:

Okay I'm sorry I'm still learning all this stuff. I have DOS BOX, what do I do now??? As far as getting one of these games to work???

Honestly, id get DBox, because it pretty much does all the hard stuff for you in DOSBox.

So download this instead:
dBox Emulator

Then install it. Once youve installed run it.
When you first open it click on the Gear near the top and choose "preferences"
In the box that says "Path to DosBox" choose browse (the little folder at the end) and navigate to C:\Program Files\D-Box\Dosbox (or wherever you installed DBox) and double click "dosbox.exe"
Go ahead and close preferences now.

Next, choose the little box with the cd and choose New Game
Name the game and browse to where the .exe file is for the game (either Warcraft or Doom) and click "ok" at the bottom.

Finally, all you have to do is double click the title of the game that you just made and it should load up

Wow that helped me by like a MILLION times, thank you! Only problem is, Warcraft 2 is a little slow and it says I need to have the game disk... What method do I use now?

[Guest]

I did some quick searching and It seems that you do have to have a disk for Warcraft 2 to work. If you had one, you would insert it or mount it (if its .iso, an image of the cd) and could play it that way.

Okay. Doom is really slow, anything I should adjust in DBOX?

[Guest]

You can right click on the title and choose edit to get to some of the features. At the bottom of the edit screen there is a slide bar that talks about emulation speed. Just browse through and play with it a little until you can get something that works for you
