Sandboxie VS mpc-hc

I used to use sandboxie so I could emulate multiple browser sessions without worrying about cached creds or the different portals screwing up my context. It works decently.

Use Sandboxie on Windows. It's open source these days, and isolates processes from making changes on your system. It's perfect to install and run potentially unsafe programs. Sandboxie exists since 2003, and yet we still have people in business worlds running viruses from mail attachments.

Sandboxie

You can allow applications inside a Sandboxie to communicate with each other through sockets even when network access by Sandboxie is blocked1. You can enable Sandboxie network access and use Windows firewall outside Sandboxie to block all applications inside the Sandboxie from accessing the network1. It is also possible to specify ports that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2. However, it is not possible to specify IP’s or IP ranges that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2.

In addition to just taking all privileges way from the process, like Chrome does, there's also Sandboxie [1] and the official Windows Sandbox [2]

VirtualBox dropped 3D acceleration for old OS like XP a while back, you can see it it running "dxdiag" on your windows XP and running the tests, it will do DirectDraw only since the game is a 32 bit windows game it should run on modern windows like 10 and 11, I saw that the main problem is the DRM, so you will need a "cracked/pached" exe, I can't help with that, but do your own search, if you want to be "safe" you can try running it using something like SandBoxie-plus https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases

With those pre-reqs, is there anything Windows Sandbox can do that Sandboxie can't?

Could you pls. test if the vulnerability can be mitigated by using Sandboxie-Classic (that is the free version)?

I also want to recommand this piece of small software but it's very neat, Sandboxie: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie

Your link is the old/abandonware mpc-hc, here you'll find a more recent version

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc

And just in case you are playing this on a PC, try playing them with either VLC or Media Player Classic (up2date clsid2 fork), both are capable of playing these files.

I have had no problems with MPC-HC: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc Clsid2 was immeadiately it's successor

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/ it says march 3rd and its the same one k lite codec uses https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

MPC-HC is the premier Windows player. It has pitch corrected playback speeds. Alternatively, Audacity can as well, but it's more complicated. MPC-HC is also the best movie player you can get.

Open releases on the right side of the page, go to a version of your choosing and at the bottom of the post in the Assets section choose whatever binary you need. Alternatively, you could use a windows packet manager such as chocolatey, for example, and it can handle all that for you. They do have both outdated and the modern fork of MHC-HC
