I just got the game running with an XP virtual machine and man the memories!! There was a way to copy the audio files to the games C:\BBW directory such that the broadcast didn't stutter because the audio was coming from the C drive rather than accessing the CD. I can't remember where I read it and I've even tried the Internet Archive.

Anyhow if you are like me and have the Ernie Harwell version, here is the XP Virtual Machine link. The VM works very nicely except for that stuttering issue. https://www.oldpcgaming.net/how-to-r...on-win-7-8-10/

I prefer the older versions of BBW because with the Bill James Encyclopedia, you could import any season from 1871 to 1997 to create your own seasons. I wish APBA hadn't removed that. But, I have the original copies of both games so, I guess it's no big deal.
