Windows 98 compatibility DOSBox Pure

RetroArch Android devices
#1

Hello all,

I was excited by all the recent videos and tutorials about installing Win 98 SE on DOSBox Pure within Retroarch, but I’m finding most of the games I actually try to play within it don’t work. As a test case, I’ve been trying to get either Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier’s SimGolf working within it for days. In both cases, I keep getting almost immediate crashes due to invalid page faults. I’ve tried EVERYTHING- reinstall Windows, Win 95, running on different devices, reconfiguring the CPU and RAM within DOSBox- no luck whatsoever. Anyone have any luck getting either of these to run?

What about windows 95? I have a windows 95 game I want to play in retroarch. Can retroarch emulate windows 95?

Yes, you can install win95 inside dosbox.

You can make an installation in DOSBos PURE, similar to the one in the video, but W95 is more complicated to install and has its tricks, if you don’t have experience I recommend Windows 98, all the games of 3.1 and 95 are compatible with 98.
