It obviously can work, WHDLoad does exactly this.
Not really. It tries its best to store the machine state, take over the system completely, and in this state, the called games cannot call the Os. It also tries to restore the state.


However, see the autodocs: You cannot block the interrupts for an elongated time and hope that the system returns in proper shape. It probably works on your system, due the imense work that went into this hack, but that doesn't mean that the system supports this type of activity.
