I've got an Athlon XP 2000 machine up and running with Windows XP, I've tried installing BF1942 from my original retail CDs, installing all the official patches up to 1.61 that I had stored on an old HD. Obviously this original version no longer works for online play, as the server system was taken down.

Am I right in thinking that the patches made available by Simple are for modern machines? Is there a minimum OS requirement? I tried installing the patches on my Win XP installation, but I get various .dll missing errors. Is there any way I can get this going, or should I give up?
