Take the 2-minute tour ×  I wish to play Heroes 2 on my Windows
7 machine. My problem is that I have some difficulties starting
the application. I know there is DosBOX, but I'm looking for
some effective solution for this. Do you know about some helper
applications like ScummVM which can be easily configured
especially for Heroes 2?  If all else fails I might just install
a Windows 98 on a VirtualBOX but before that I want to try out
something simpler.  share|improve this question add comment  4
Answers  up vote 1 down vote accepted  There's no specific
emulator for the HOMM series, from what I can tell. Most people
are using DOSBox, and if you have access to the DOS edition of
the game, it's worth setting up and using. There are many older
games that run under DOSBox, and it's pretty easy to set up and
maintain compared to a virtual machine or similar solution.
DOSBox rates this game as "playable" and you can use the user
reports on that page to avoid any common errors and understand
what might not work prop
