Don't forget to remove the power cord and the battery first. Laptops from that time usually have a hatch a the back of the computer. This way you can install Windows XP, without complicated dual boot configuration. If you can, get an extra 250 or 500 GB 2.5" hard drive. Try to find Windows XP drivers for your laptop, Asus usually keeps all downloads for old products on their website.Find out ways to make SWAT 3 run under Windows 7, (This has already been suggested by somebody else above.) There are guides on the internet.It's like Rainbow Six but with apprehensions Any games that are perfectly playable in them are lucky side effects. and then there's weird mouse locking and audio latency issues that won't get fixed because virtualizers aren't designed for entertainment as the focus, considering their important roles in IT industry. Virtualizers just emulate a basic 2d video card (sometimes with a buggy host GL API passthrough) and a generic sound card, and try to get the host CPU through as much as it can through its fictional fantasy motherboard with all the unforeseen bugs and issues to come from that, not quite representing anything of the old era.

My current machine that can 100% the P2 266+V3 runs SWAT3 sloooowly.Ī thing to understand about PCem vs any virtualizer, is that PCem uses the CPU to emulate *every* component of the PC and strives to replicate a diverse range of old PC parts at a low level. The game had unusually dense character models for the time, as well as the complex AI, and there's big lightmaps everywhere. SWAT3's a CPU hog that calls for 400MHz P2s to be playable at the least. A mobile i5 2.4GHz isn't going to be enough to emulate SWAT 3.
