Last time I played Blood was on a spare PC running XP. I used the original OUW disc but had to apply all manner of fixes and patches, winxpfix, cli2nop, nolfb and VDMS. It was a pain but eventually got it running smoothly and in high res...but on XP.

Once tried it on Vista but wouldn't work, never tired it on Win7. So my question is do I stick with using the spare PC to play it again with all those fixes (I wrote instructions for the next time I would play it so I know how to set it up again) or buy the GOG version?

My two main issues are: does the game still crash without the Soundblaster bug fix? (I have an X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro) and can I increase the resolution beyond the original maximum?

No, it wont crash due to the soundblaster bug.
On current hardware, you are probably limited to running Blood at 800x600 with a "playable" frame rate.

GoG hasn't done anything with the Blood.exe, it's still the same thing you have with your OUWB CD.

The only real improvement that we get from running Blood within DOSBox is the ease of setting up a Bloodbath.
