Considering the os he tried it on looks to be windows 95 - 98 rather than windows xp, it's obvious modern things won't work, 98 and 95 are designed differently from windows 2000 onwards, so anything from windows 2000s era or newer will have an extremely low chance of working on 95 to 98
Lmao, so virtual machines are pretty much never going to be able to play games, now if you allocated enough RAM, and your computer had some fairly beefy specifications. *Maybe* you could boot the game up and reach the main menu. But I highly doubt you'd be able to actually walk around ingame. And, even if you had a 32bit version of Faz-Anim I don't think it'll work considering WIndows XP had and still has a bug where .dll files that aren't critical windows files. (I.E the Faz-Anim DLL files) just don't work with the associated .exe file. Although I'm sure the issue comes from having some strange file permissions and some specific explorer settings enabled. It's been so long so I'm not entirely sure anymore. I feel like if I tried my own Virtual PC 2007, I *might* be able to pull this off. Although I highly doubt it. VM's just don't run games well at all and sometimes downright refuse to. Typically I allocate something stupid like 500mb of RAM and windows runs file, just slow. I'm guessing you'd need 4gb minimum to be honest.
@@maxefilms Honestly, I think it's less of an issue with the computer specs. More of an issue with Microsoft's Hyper-V. And the whole virtualisation process itself. While I think it's probably possible. I've only used Virtualbox a few times in college. Outside of that I always used Virtual PC 2007. Which suspiciously seems to be the best virtual machine software out there. You're more than welcome to try but you *Might* be wasting your time. lol
Virtual machines could run games, it's the games like the one he uses in the video that are much more difficult. This game can run on windows 7, but it struggles a lot to do so. So windows xp likely would stuggle too. However, I have a set of laptops, one runs windows xp pro, the other runs windows 7 pro. I have been able to play fnaf fan games from 2023 and 2024 on the xp laptop and the win 7 laptop with no issues. Like, free roam fnaf fan games run perfectly on the xp laptop as if it was a modern operating system with gaming hardware. (both laptops are business laptops with intel HD graphics and moderate ram)

My PC itself has very beefy specs and my hope is with enough ram allocated we can get it running.

@@dualrabbits at this point other problems have arisen that have basically shut down this whole project.
