What's some good windows emulators and where can I get them (for free and/or by download? :P) I heard of WinE, but know little of it. The reason I'm asking is because games like Red Alert and FF7 for PC need Win98(SE) and XP compatibility modes are worthless.

I guess your using Mac
I thought you install the base\frame emulator and then install whatever OS you want in it?
No?

VMWare. You'll need a shatload of RAM though, which I'm assuming you have if you want to do OS emulation, especially for games.

Wine is excellent when you get it configured right.

I had a few windows games running on linux with wine.

It was cool.

Counter strike ran perfect (apart from the main menu being a bit slow)
