If modern hardware is contiguous with DOS hardware as you claim then modern games are retro as they run on a platform launched before 1999, dipweasel. go ask /g/ how you run x86 programs on a 64 bit processor

Wrong. A lot of PC games can't run on modern hardware without emulation or virtualization.
OSs like 98 are not retro because they can run on modern hardware, but DOS/95/98 games that can't run on modern hardware are retro

Yes and no.
It will work fine with 99% of DOS games, and the vast majority of TSRs will work just fine as well.
You won't get 100% compatibility like real deal MS-DOS. Even CTMouse it self does not have the same compatibility as MS's mouse.com does.
Not sure why Doom was crashing for you, I've ran it on Freedos fine. What hardware were you using?
