Honestly, you'd have a much easier time just buying some old system for $20 (something like a 100-200 Mhz Pentium) and just using that to run old software. Even if you get the OS install, some games will have problems running on newer hardware (some things in older games just ran as fast the hardware would allow and will just move at warp speed on a modern machine). Someone you know has to have some old system sitting in a closet or attic that's just collecting dust that you can use.

Yeah, me too. I've got 3 system sitting upstairs that I just never recycled. 1 Pentium 60 (the original pentium chip), a 486DX2 that was mine way back when and a 386 that I have no idea where it came from (I never owned a 386).

I'm glad you got it to work, what games do you want to play that you needed a win95 system for?
