Have you actually tried it? I understand it is a full CPU emulator and if anything it would be too slow.
last time i tried it it had a pretty inconvenient setup, so i can't really say from experience, aside from mixed compatability. using a VM, PCem or doxbox is still better imo (or real hardware if you're weird like me)

As above the same place as anywhere else -- it is still a commercial game within copyright.

What I am more here to say is there is a very nice remake for the DS if you want Chip's Challenge. GBA version is also out there though less developed.

I don't think the GBC version of the Mircosoft pack featured Chip's Challenge.

I do also see it is free on Steam these days

setup DOS and Windows 3.x yourself, which would be very inconvenient
I think that, if you go by mouse + keyboard presses, it's competitive or better with installing LTSC and then going through group policy to turn off the remaining crap :P

Some form of external program is absolutely necessary as, unlike 32-bit programs, it is otherwise impossible to run 16-bit programs on 64-bit Windows, no matter how many things you turn off. (Unless things suddenly changed when I wasn't looking.)

I was going to mention that, but some of the reviews seem very displeased with it.
