I have this really old game from the DOS era, anyone know how to run it in my modern machine?I have this really old game from the DOS era, anyone know how to run it in my modern machine?

I'm trying to run USNF 97 Navy Fighters (was made for Windows 95). My computer runs XP and everything runs and installs flawlessly. Just the actual game itself runs about 2-3 times too fast.

I've tried a ton of slowdown programs before, but none really seem to work (they run with lagspikes and turn the sound into a mess). Also turning on V-Sync didn't work for me. Compatibility mode for Win95 also did not work. The actual problem is there is no FPS limit for the DirectX renderer. The game was designed for a pentium 100.

I've read about FPS limiters for newer games (e.g. FSX) but they only support DX8-9 :( If only I could recompile it and add a crappy fps limiter myself, but thats out of my league.

Could anyone help me with this issue?
