Hi, what kind of emulator do you want to use in your computer?
You have said that you have downloaded several games, but what kind of emulator do you have for RUN these games?
M.A.M.E is a good arcade emulator for you computer, but, do you have another emulator?
Why you don give us more info?
Regards.

So, what system is theis "pang" game you downloaded?
Is it a PC game, or a game from a console, and if it is, which console?
Also, If you are using, windows 98, then you have no need to use DosBox.
DosBox is a program that emulated DOS for people that have windows XP and Linux, Because they dont have DOS. Windows 98 does have DOS, so you dont need dosbox for anything if you are using win98.

you still havent answered any of the questions.
We arent magicians, you know. or mind readers.
If you want help, you have to be specific:
-The names of the roms/games you are trying to play, and what game systems they are for.
-Your operating system.
I dont think I can be any more clear. I will try to be patient with you, but if you just keep posting stuff that gives us no solid information about your issue, and just thinking we can pull a magic answer out of a hat... then I cant help you.
I will even give you an example question.
Example: "I need help playing a game. I am trying to play the "contra" rom for the Nintendo NES".
see? you cant just post something that says
how does "pang" work?
what the hel is "pang"? you didnt mention if it was a rom, or a game, or what system it was for, or anything at all.
So if you want help, we will help. But YOU have to do a little effort before WE put any effort into finding a solution for you! So do it like you have some sense, or quit wasting peoples time.
Sorry if this sounds rude, but its the truth. :)

That's all.

I'm surprised you aren't asking how to run DOS games on WinXP. Win98 is easy to run DOS on; wth. You can do it on WinXP, but that crappy DOS emulator on XP, NTVDM.EXE, doesn't let me take screenshots or anything.

There just asking what game your trying to play and what system it was originally for!!!! I dont know how much easy or clearer they could get
If your trying to play SUper mario Brothers 3(NES) your on the forums of the site that has everything you need... I mean not to be rude but your pretty clueless...
