"Despite the PC’s unassailable status as undying gaming platform with an uncountable number of titles in its history, the exciting/chilling march of operating system progress has seen successive versions of Windows cruelly dispense with support for the golden, vital past. Most recently, the otherwise fairly splendid Windows 7 threw out Direct Draw support, leaving a slew of Windows 95-era games left in the emulation cold. A man has fixed this, and thus you should worship him."

^ could be useful if you run into the Direct Draw problem. e.g. Duel Savior

You know I linked that in my Duel Savior topic?

I intend on using this in up and coming VN releases of the older games, might want to pin this topic, its a good resource.

It seems this is only for certain issues relating to the incompleteness of DirectDraw on Win7+, so it's not guaranteed to solve your problem.

A VM (or plain install in dualboot) of XP will still provide superior compatibility.

I'd go out on a limb and say that a lot of people probably won't dual boot
