Hello my friend, it’s always a pleasure ^.^
Watch Diablo on Doxbox_pure with Duimon preset
For me it’s the best way to play the original versions, because everything works magically and looks really nice with the HSM Shader, you can easily adjust bright if you want, i like a dark aspect, that match perfect with vibe of this PC title.
About installing Windows, it’s actually quite easy, fast and intuitive, just load a Bootable Disk Image, DosBOX_pure will automatically detect it and a new option will appear in the Start Menu [Boot and Install New Operating System] this will start the Installation and from there just follow the step by step on the Screen like a normal Windows Installation on an old PC
PS: A cool option for everyone, which makes everything much easier, would be to use a Frontend, like Launchbox… Basically it would be a Frontend (Launchbox) on top of another Frontend (Retroarch) ^.^
Which is very useful, because it allows you to play all Games with a simple click of the Mouse, loading all the content auto, and with the help of “additional parameters” and arguments in the “command line” the sky’s the limit ^.^
@Duimon
That’s right my friend, you did a wonderful job, it’s one of my favorite Presets too, the whole visual of the device creates a unique feeling.
The Scaled version is the one I use the most, because the content being played on the device has a good coverage area of the screen, which is perfect
Edit:

The screenshot above were captured using Retroarch with Dosbox_pure, this Core allows you to boot native DOS games and install a copy of Windows too, to play old games that don’t run natively in DOS, such as Incoming, Age of Empires, Caesar, RCT, Sid Meiers Railroad, Deadlock and many others… As it is a Retroarch Core, you can run it with the amazing HSM MegaBezel along with the wonderful Duimon Presets.
PS: For me this was the best way to run old games, with similar performance to an old PC (I have an old Compaq PC with a CRT monitor, with SB and 3dfx, but due to space constraints they are not accessible to me at all the time) In fact, this way, with Emulation is even better, because everything is on my PC, that I use every day, you know, with a simple click and voila, you play a game!
With good extras, such Soundbanks with different Audio Cards and Synthesizers like Roland’s MT-32, which are very rare and expensive too…
For VMs like Pcem, 86box, xVirtualBox, VMware, QEMU the solution I can suggest is that you try Shaderglass and Reshade, which allow you to apply Filters to Windows…
