Ok so i am ready for the your a idiot statements to come flying out. But here it goes.

I have a ton of old Dos games i would love to play on my XP machine i have trid a couple of dos emulators but none seem to work. Does anyone know a way to make them play or a emulator that works good enough to let them work ??
