Recently I decided to try recording some of the old Windows 95 Her Interactive Nancy Drew games (Specifically Treasure in a royal tower), but I've been having serious difficulty. I've spent the last hour and a half troubleshooting and have hit a dead end.
I'm recording with OBS, which won't pick the game up in "Game capture" mode, but it will pick it up in "display capture mode" albeit as a tiny low-quality square in the top left of the recording space. I've tried modifying the .ini file, alt-enter, booting from -window, -win, -w, and even installing a third party program to force windowed mode. The last one kinda worked, it was in a window, but the whole monitor was still locked to 800x600 until I tabbed out, so it acted exactly as it would if it was fullscreen.
Is there a way to make a game like this run in a window, or at least some way that makes it easier to record? Maybe something that makes the program think it's going fullscreen, when it's really going fullscreen in a small virtual desktop window or something. I haven't tried DOSBox yet, but that was next on my list.
Other information: I'm running on Windows 10, and I have two monitors, 1920 and 1440 respectively. My graphics card is the AMD r9 290. I edit in adobe premiere, and I have FRAPS as well as OBS, but it refuses to even recognize the game.
