The Xbox is a console made by Microsoft. It uses modified x86 compatible hardware and thus it is possible to write an emulator for it. You can also find many homebrew applications and emulators that run ON the Xbox. Many people have taken advantage of the fact that the Xbox is so similar to a pc to trick others that their emulator was real when in reality it did nothing or was a virus. Be very careful when trying one to avoid accidents!

I have been playing the Original Sims games, all expansions, in Windows 8. Adobe muse. There is only ONE problem I've been having, now that I've got different screen sizes. If I try to play Sims 1 games in a window, it appears in the middle of my screen. Initially it looks great, but then when the loading screen goes black the black rectangle remains over the windowed game! I have been playing in full screen mode, and it really isn't all that bad, but I really prefer to play in a window.

If anyone knows how I can fix this in Windows 8.1, I would appreciate the assistance! Some of my favorite Sims today, in Sims 3, are based on Sims I created (and recolored) in Sims 1 game.

It's kind of fun to play the older games, but really, I would really like to play it in a window, because when playing full screen, if I need to do anything else on the computer, say answer a messenger message, the game goes all crazy after being shrunk so I can do whatever else I need to do, and I have to quit and reopen. Thanks for any help! Thank you for that suggestion Stuart92! I am reinstalling the game now. It's installing just fine. I've never had a problem with 8.1 not realizing there was a disk in the drive (lucky me) but sometimes it takes a while to get it to open that disk.

LOL I'll let you know how this turns out. I just think it is strange that the problem changed, and got worse, after I started messing with compatibility mode. Installing as admin and using xp compatibility. All is well, so far.

If that black box shows up again, I'll try to remember how to get rid of it. I'm usually multi-tasking when I'm playing games, so it will be nice to have it in a window again. OOOOOH, Base game for Sims 1 is almost installed. Silly that I get this excited about that old game, but it is still my favorite of all the Sims games!

Edit: THANK YOU!!!! Yeah, it takes a moment, but control/alt/del does actually get rid of the black box!

Game is up, functional and in a window too!
