I got mislead by the messages here. Virtual Clone Drive helps, but what you really need nowadays is virtualbox Windows XP 32-bit to get this working, it took me forever. The bike mini game is so hard.

Also having no luck with this. I have the DOS drive and the Virtual Clone drive, I've managed to "mount" the files which seems to create a new drive with the exact copies of the CD rom materials, but I can't actually get it to run. When I try to create a profile in D-Fend Reloaded it tells me the setup.exe is a DOS file and must be run in DOSbox, but when I try to set up a DOSbox profile it tells me setup.exe is a windows executable that DOXbox can't run.

I loved this game so much and can't find it anywhere else! Unfortunately, I've spent hours trying to get it to work on my computer which has Windows 11 on it. I've installed the DOS drive and the Virtual Clone Drive and none of it is working. If anyone can offer any help, I would be so appreciative.
