Tried DosBox? if that doesnt help you might need legacy hardware and even then old DOS games are not problem free as they are very sensitive with cpu speeds

probably Cabela's 4x4 off road adventure. i got it to run in pcem but it ran horribly. we are looking for a long term solution. I've tried so many things, running it in Linux using wine, using Virtualbox, none work except a straight up mmx emulator like pcem. The problem is that the Ryzen 5 I have in my pc supports mmx. I've ran many checks to prove it, so I really don't get why the program continues to pop the message up. The only thing I can think of would be to disable the check that the EXE executes, but that involves binary, and I don't know where the key in that program is for such a check.

@kcabe1: You're about a year late to the part on this one. That's about 50 weeks past our necobump threshold.
