Guide: installing Windows 95 on DOSBox. This guide is for those who want to get Windows 95 working on DOSBox but don't want to go through the trouble of looking up all the scattered pieces of information that need to be known. It took me a bit of fiddling around, but it turns out it's actually quite easy. Re: Installing Windows 95 on DOSBox by DOS4dinner ยป 2009-11-09 @ 02:11 There is a guide, and Win95 and sometimes 98 is possible, but at the moment it's not that useful since it does not have CD or 3D video card support.
We're at a point in time where you're kind of screwed if you need to play old Win95 games that won't run either under DOSBox+Win3.1 or WinXP/Vista/Win7. I'm hoping that in a few years we'll be able to use a VM or something to do decent emulation of Win9x class hardware that includes support for hardware-accelerated 3D rendering. Right now it looks like everyone is using some kind of rough-around-the-edges implementation from the WINE project that emulates Direct3D using OpenGL. I don't think it's ready for prime-time yet though.

Yes, this is why I still have a machine running Win 98SE. The games that won't run in XP/Vista run fine in that. But that means I have to store a machine that I rarely run. Newbie Posts: 64 Joined: 2008-9-05 @ 18:03.
