Best OS for Retro Gaming?
Go to solution
Solved by Radium_Angel,
As far as Linux goes, retro gaming is really hit and miss there, as is hardware support for older systems.
Antix is about as lightweight as you can get and still be useful, beyond that, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is as "new" as I'd go and even that has a heavy overhead. Voodoo card drivers will probably kill linux dead as a gaming platform.
Win2k is probably your best bet, unless you want the challenge of WinNT 4.0 (and make no mistake, it's a hell of a challenge to run these days.)
If you go WinNT 4.0...start here

These guys know more about NT 4.0 than anywhere else online.
