I like to play the original game and used an old laptop. Until it broke down. Is there a possibility to play it on this system alongside Discovery? My son suggested to install on another partition but I'm afraid it could mess up the settings of Discovery.
I tried several emulators:
- VirtualBox - cannot detect 3D video card
- PCEM-V17 - much too slow
- Bochs - problems with Voodoo card, XP crashes
- VMware - tried that several months ago, cannot remember anymore what went wrong
FYI: I run W10 on an ACER Aspire 3 with Core I5 and a NVidia graphic card.
I'm not really sure if I understand correctly, but you're looking to play the original game alongside Discovery? There's no reason why either shouldn't work on a modern Windows 10 system (after you do what @Groshyr above posted).
Note though that as far as I'm aware the original game saves will be deleted each time you run the Discovery Launcher so you need to back them up. I'm not sure if there's a way to disable this behaviour. I think you can work around it by using a separate Windows user account.

Regarding this, it is possible to have Vanilla use a different folder for it's save files using flplusplus.
