I installed Windows 98 on Virtualbox to play old games but it has problems with graphics driver.

Is these an iso or drivers made for VM that make play old games on Windows 98 running smoothly?

    Yeah VirtualBox is my goto solution for this. I have Win95, WinXP, Win2000, Win8.1, Win10, Linux Ubuntu, Android86x, OSX Leopard

    I basically used the original disks/licenses I had from older machines or grabbed isos following online tutorials using developer testing licenses

      I actually use virtual box as my work pc. So my work and personal is separated.
      I can easily backup/snapshot my work machine or move my work VM to another physical machine. Same using a VM to run any archived games you might find online that may have hidden malware that kills your main machine. Connecting to work VPN within a VM and free to listen to music streams or Netflix in my main desktop without receiving any angry IT emails from work. Because my main laptop(win8) is now overdue for replacement I am thinking to install Linux and VirtualBox and just run it as a VM server.
