Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6 and 3.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD. Windows XP is a must for games run in MS Windows platform between 1997 and 2003 (or all games developed for 16/32 bit architecture). If you can't run old games through dosbox or you can't run old games through windows 98 emulation, this is the solution for you. Oracle VM VirtualBox Base Packages - 6.1.26. Freely available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris x86 platforms under GPLv2: Platform. Windows Installer. Solaris 10 5/08 and later or Solaris 11. @WifeHaver488 using VirtualBox 6.0 or newer will NOT work with 32-bit systems such as Win95 through Vista, like this copy of Win XP Pro, as they stripped out functionality with 32-bit OSes from VirtualBox 6.0 and above. VirtualBox 5.2.44 is the newest version of VirtualBox with 32-bit OS support as needed for XP virtualisation. Now you can download Chrome (it'll install v49, the last supported version for XP), Firefox 52.9.0esr (Mozilla's last supported version, but you'll likely have to install SP2 first), or Opera 36 (you get the picture) on the host machine, drop them in the shared folder, and install them from the VM.
There used to be Windows XP virtual machines on modern.ie. I still have a couple of copies around for testing. Unfortunately after XP going out of support, they were removed. But the copies used to be on Azure CDN (credit /u/JoshBrodieNZ. Seems like they recently removed them too.
There's still a way to get Windows XP 32-bit VMs from Microsoft (no 64-bit) through Windows XP mode. It contains a VHD (virtual hard disk) with a 32-bit Windows XP SP3.
- Download Microsoft XP Mode from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002.
- Using 7-zip or any other utility decompress the exe.
- Inside sources, there's another file called
xpm
. Decompress it too. With 7-zip, right click on it and select 'Extract to ... .' - One of the extracted files is
VirtualXPVHD
and around 1.2 GB. Rename it toVirtualXP.vhd
. - In VirtualBox (or any other virtualization software that supports importing VHDs), create a new Windows XP 32-bit VM and use this file as the hard disk. When you start the VM, it will start a Windows XP setup. My mouse did not work, but you can use shortcut keys to navigate the installer (e.g. Alt+N for Next).
- ???
- Profit.
