No, this is not possible. What game is she playing on what system? Please provide the specs (make/model of all components) for her system.

1. solution go to gog and get homm (I guess you mean 3)
2. solution go to pc gaming wiki and look for fixes for your game. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_III
3. get PCem and simulate a really old PC including gpu and everything, needs a pretty strong CPU though.

You can't fake a GPU in devices but you can run wrappers, those are dlls that intercept the game calls and translate them to something a modern gpu can show. Homm is pretty compatible though and it should just start up, if it is configured in windowed mode then windows has to be in 16 bit mode otherwise you get weird graphics.

I would be genuinely surprised if this worked and would love to see confirmation that this workaround will run the game in question. Seriously, that would be something to see.

That emulation is of ancient (tech-wise) hardware, likely unable to run modern games to any level of satisfaction, if at all.

Homm 3 was 1999 and was made to run on win 95 on anything that can output graphics, it's not a modern game.
Getting the game on gog or even steam is many times easier of course.

Understood. Still, I would like to see this in actual operation. As you know, there are "no free lunches" and an emulator can only do so much. I am genuinely curious about this, not a criticism at all.
