Does anyone know if there is an equivalent of DosBox for running Windows 95 games on a modern system? I have some older games that run fine (I'm using Vista) but several others will not, no matter how much I tinker with the compatibility settings.
I could be wrong, but doesn't D-Fend (an interface program for DOSbox) also have some Win95 tweeks?
Have you tried poking around at http://www.vogons.org/ ?
I thought someone over there mentioned installing win95 under dosbox......
I still run a bunch of Windows 98 games under Virtual PC 2007. Works great. VPC2007 will bitch about "unsupported OS" when you try to install it under Win 7 but click OK and it will install and run just fine.
This Digiex post (http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/applications/1022-digiex-exclusive-premade-windows-98-virtual-machine-use-older-games.html) worked for me a while back. Haven't tried it under Windows 8.1 though.
Hi, what game/s in particular btw?
Alternatively, you can also find an image of Windows 95 out there and then use a Virtual Machine application to run Windows 95 on your own computer. Examples are Oracle's Virtual Box, or VMWare's VMPlayer (both have free versions).
If possible, a WinXP image might be better, or Win 98SE. I :(too much .dLL hell back in the days of Windows 95
Thanks for the help. I'll try a couple of those solutions this afternoon. O0
