Use a virtual machine with windows xp and actual flash for that just like one uses DosBox.
- sp332 11y agoI think it's tough to get a legal XP license these days. MS has VM images that can be used for testing older versions of IE http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/windows/ http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/windows/ But the expire every 30 days so you'd need some way of backing up your history, cookies, saved Flash settings etc. And I'm not sure how good the Flash performance would be on those.
- 1ris 11y agoWhile I have access to legal MS DOS 6.11 licences, it's not something the retro computing crow seems to care too much about. Lots of people bought these when they where up-to date and most aren't interested anymore. You can get these for free from plenty of people. The fact that windows xp needs to be activated in contrast to dos makes it bit more tricky, but cracks are aviable and legal 1) if you do indeed own a licence. 1) As for every legal discussion on the internet: Different places have different laws. However, I don't think MS cares about XP at this point. In contrast to DOS they don't sell it anymore.
