What PC emulator did you use?

[Dr.Kisaragi]

I'm curious what is your PC emulator like Ms-Dos Windows 98 Window Xp

I already had Ms-Dox Box but it outdated this why I asking what emulator did you use.

Well, to be fair, only mainline dosbox is outdated. I suggest choosing a fork.

I use Dosbox-X for DOS and 86Box for Windows 98.

I use an HP Pavilion 6535 Desktop, has a 466 MHz Celeron, a massive 256 MB of 100 MHz PC100 RAM, a whopping 80 GB spinning Rust HDD, and runs Windows 98 SE2.

But that's not what you are asking. I use DOS-Box X when I don't feel like waiting for the HP to boot up in 20 minutes. (I am kidding, but the damn thing does boot slow.)

dosbox-x for dos and win 3.11
86box for win98 just to mess around with a bunch of 90s software

I never mess with DOSBOX or other older Windows VM. If I want to run an older game, I'll just search for patches on PCgamingwiki or GOG releases that already have DOSBOX integrated.

I used a lot of those older systems back in the day to know how awful they were to handle, there's no way I'm going back to that era unless it's the only option.

That's fine and well, but not every game has a modern fix. And sometimes it's nice to hear the bleeps and bloops from DOSBox. Or, in my case an old-ass came over on the Mayflower PC.
