First, you’ll need to create a folder on your computer. This folder will contain the contents of the “C:” drive you’ll provide to DOSBox. Don’t use your actual C: drive on Windows for this. Make a folder like “C: dos”, for example.
Create a folder inside the “C: dos” folder — for example, “C: dos INSTALL” — and copy all the files from your Windows 3.1 floppy disks to that folder. Windows 3.1 is still under Microsoft copyright, and can’t legally be downloaded from the web, although many websites do offer it for download and Microsoft no longer offers it for sale. You can use Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 — whichever you have available. Next, install and launch. DOSBox supports standard VGA graphics. However, it also supports some other types of graphics. By default, it’s set up to emulate S3 Graphics.
For best graphics support, you’ll want to install the S3 graphics drivers and configure Windows 3.1 to use a higher resolution and more colors. You can download the S3 video driver from. Unzip the.zip file to a folder inside your DOSBox C: drive folder.
For example, it would make sense to put these files in the “C: dos s3” folder. In Windows 3.1, double-click the Main program folder and double-click the “Windows Setup” icon. Click the “Options” menu in the Windows Setup window and select “Change System Settings.” Click the “Display” box, scroll down to the bottom, and select “Other display (Requires disk from OEM).” Type the path to the S3 drivers.
For example, if you unzipped them to the C: dos s3 folder, you’d type “C: S3” here. Choose your preferred resolution and colors.
We recommend choosing 800×600 with 256 colors. This is the highest resolution and number of colors many games will support. Click OK several times. Windows will install the drivers and you’ll be prompted to restart it. After you do, you’ll see your new graphical settings in effect. If Windows won’t work properly after you select a display mode, run the following command after using the “cd windows” command to enter the Windows directory: setup.exe You’ll then be able to select a different video mode.
Install Sound Drivers There’s one more driver issue to take care of. Windows 3.1 doesn’t include sound drivers that will work completely with the SoundBlaster sound hardware DOSBox is emulating. You’ll want to install those, too. As with the S3 video driver, you can download the Sound Blaster 16 Creative Audio Driver from. Unzip the downloaded archive into a folder like c: dos sb Exit Windows 3.1 by clicking “File” and selecting “Exit Windows” if it’s open in DOSBox. Run the following commands to launch the Sound Blaster 16 driver installer, assuming you unzipped the folder to c: dos sb cd c: sb install.exe Press Enter to install the drivers, select Full Installation, and press Enter again.
By default, you’ll see the line: “Microsoft Windows 3.1 path: None”. Select “Microsoft Windows 3.1 path” with the arrow keys and press Enter. Enter the default path, which is C: WINDOWS, and press Enter. Press Enter again to continue. On the next screen, select the “Interrupt setting: 5” value and press Enter. It’s set to 5 by default, but DOSBox’s default is 7.
Select “7” for the Interrupt Setting and press Enter. You can then press Enter to continue. Allow the installation process to finish and “reboot” your DOS system by closing DOSBox and reopening it. Launch Windows 3.1 again and you’ll have full sound support, including support for MIDI audio. You should hear a sound as soon as you launch Windows 3.1 again. Install and Run Games and Other Applications To actually use an application, download it (or copy it from old disks) and place it in a folder inside your c: dos folder. For example, you might want to place it in c: dos gamename.
You can then create a shortcut to the game’s.exe file by clicking File New and browsing to its.exe file. Double-click that shortcut to launch the game. The game should just work, launching within the DOSBox window as if it were running on Windows 3.1 — after all, it is. You don’t have to go through this entire setup process again in the future, either. Just take that c: dos folder — or whatever else you named it — and back it up.
Move it to another computer and you can use it after installing DOSBox. Because we haven’t configured DOSBox at all and have just used its default settings, you won’t even have to tweak your DOSBox settings before it will work.
Looking at how OS had marvelled over these three decades starting from the 90s somehow makes me reminiscent the good old days of Win 3.1, Win95 and Win98. I certainly missed playing my first ever computer games such as Prince of Persia, Mario, and Doom. And so embark my journey to relive those memories again in the modern machine. To do that, I selected DosBox, which is an emulator that fully emulates those legacy machines.
Like many others, I started off to search for related tutorials and what-not on Google, only to found that most of them are either too fragmented or requires me to piece up the tidbits. To save time, I had decided to write up this tutorial just so you wouldn't had the same experience that I did.
So, you will need:. MS-DOS Boot Disc.
Windows 95 Installation Disc. Hard disk image that host your Win95 partition.
![Install Install](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123736357/293010963.png)
Download a copy of DOS boot disk - 622C.IMG from. For unknown reason I could't boot when using the DOS 6.22 boot disk from. Just like any VM, I know that I will need hard disk image to host the Windows 95 OS. Many tutorials covers the steps to build your own hard disk image, requiring somewhat technical understanding. To avoid these complications, I simply choose a blank pre-formatted FAT16.img from.
Don't be surprise with the capacity as the file is compressed and barely reaches 200 KB even for 1GB. This is because they are empty disk image.
How To Install Windows 2000 In Virtual Box
For me personally, 1GB is more than enough. DosBox requires the hard disk image to be flatten out in size instead of dynamically growing like many VM implementations nowadays. Upon extraction you will get the full blown size of the selected disk size. Lastly, I then downloaded Win95 Installation Disc (win95en.iso) from. The version I chose was. Having downloaded all of them, I then moved them to DosBox folder.
Note that I did not specify the drive name such as c or d since there I assume there is still no file system (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS) on it. Instead, I use 2 which will mount it on native system hda. (0-1 will mount to fda and fdb (floppy disk a, b) and 2-3 will mount to hda and hdb). In addition, it is also necessary to specify the exact disk geometry (i.e.
Sectors, cylinders) to let the file system utility that we'll use next (fdisk) know where the disk ends. If you grab the pre-formatted hard disk image from, simply replace the value matching the ones you downloaded.
For instance, I will enter 512,63,64,520 since I'm downloading the 1GB image. 256MB image: 512,63,16,520 512MB image: 512,63,32,520 520MB image: 512, 1GB image: 512,63,64,520 2GB image: 512, After mounting the disk I then boot into MS-DOS 6.22 by typing boot 622c.img. Make a new directory called WIN95 in C:/ which is your empty hard disk image.
![Install Windows 2000 In Dosbox Emulator Install Windows 2000 In Dosbox Emulator](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123736357/907599463.png)
We will later copy the entire content of folder WIN95 from Windows 95 installation disk here. C: mkdir WIN95 copy D: WIN95. 3. Installing Windows 95 After that, start the installation by: c: cd WIN95 setup /is (. /is flag prevent ScanDisk from running) Follow the wizard and it will ask for a CD-Key at some point. I use the following: 12095-OEM-003.
More CD-Key can be found. After finishing the installation the system will restart, i.e. DOSBox will quit. You'll have to relaunch it again. To boot from the hard disk image, simply type the following: imgmount 2 hdd-1gb.img -size 512,63,64,520 -fs none boot -l c Note: Some tutorials make some mistake in this step by typing the following: imgmount c hdd-1gb.img boot hdd-1gb.img This will result in Invalid System Disk. I followed everything right and used the same files as this guide but I get an error when trying to install windows: 'SU-0013 - To set up Windows 95, your startup drive must be an MS-DOS boot partition.
If your startup drive is an HPFS or Windows NT file system, you must create an MS-DOS boot partition before running Setup. For more information, on creating an MS-DOS boot partition, see the documentation that came with your computer.' And in SETUP.txt it says: 'If you have LANtastic networking or SuperStor compression, see those sections earlier in this document for more information.' Yeah, I've been having the same problem at setup as you! Honestly, I was thinking that even though the blank disks he gave us are pre-formatted, we still need to do a format C: plus a quick FDISK checkup to match it to Windows 95 standards. I still don't know why the mod didn't put a solution on the page.
Are there any solutions (besides mine)? I don't know! -Christopher (BTW, I had to rewrite this 3 times because stupid Google doesn't have a failsafe and when I try to write this comment, then I have to sign in, verify, fail (and block myself out), try again, type in my phone number, sign in (successfully), take care of sign in issues, try again, change my password, change it and automatically sign in, sign into my mail, go into my browser, rewrite this comment (which it doesn't save), have to sign in (with the new password), then rewrite this comment a 3rd time.
All that work for a single reply? Not buying it, Google!). Ran into the same problem initially. You have to load MS Dos before all of that so Windows 95 can install off of it. (boot 622c.img). After DOS is loaded, don't do the whole fdisk thing - simply continue to mount d as.
Win95en and c as hdd-1gb.img. Also, note that the copy function is copying INTO a directory, so you don't just 'copy d: WIN95.' Instead, from C: type CD WIN95, then from C: WIN95, type COPY D: WIN95. That should solve most issues. The problem I have at this point is graphics and cursors within 95:/. Anonymous, once you are in DOS and in the C: WIN95 directory, type 'dir' and press enter. It will show you the contents of the folder.
If the setup.exe file is not in there, that is why DOS doesn't recognize the command and maybe the files didn't copy to C: WIN95 correctly. However it sounds like they should've copied correctly since you are able to run it in DOSBox.strange.
Another way to check is to use a program like 7-Zip or PowerISO, then you can look at the contents of the img file in windows explorer format. Only if it was helpful? I've tried every which way to install Windows 95 on DOSBox using this description and it simply does not work at all. There are some obvious errors others have mentioned here, but other errors are not corrected and I keep getting the same SU-0013 error messages.
I know Windows 95 can be run in DOSBox, but I suspect that either the people who successfully do it have access to 'secret, inside' info on exactly how to install it, or there is a required version of DOSBox that I simply am not aware of or isn't available any longer. For anyone who is stuck on the tutorial!!
There is an error present in the tutorial! The last action in step two: c: mkdir WIN95 copy D: WIN95. Forget the statement cd WIN95 in between mkdir and copy! Not following this step will result in an error during windows 95 setup because the files will be copied to the C drive root instead of win95 folder! After you completed this step, make sure you execute step 3 inside DOS!
So close everything, reboot dosbox, mount c and d first, then boot into dos, then perform step 3! This way worked for me. I think it should be noted about graphics settings for those using Windows XP as the host machine.
When reconfiguring the dosbox.conf file do not use any of the opengl settings. Instead, set the configuration as follows.
Fullresolution=original output=direct3d aspect=true If you do this, you will get a full screen using the host machine's monitor without the sacrifice of the guest machine's resolution, whatever it is you want it to be (after installing your s3 graphics, of course). This is important for games such as MYST that require a 640x480 screen with 256 colors and WON'T work without it being set that way. HOW I GOT BLANK ATM CARD THAT CHANGE MY ENTIRE LIFE. I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy called Mr.

I got around that by finding another MS- DOS disk image and copying it to a folder that would be used as a separate drive where I can run command.com.

Things went differently when I checked the blank hard disk with fdisk.com and found that the partition's file system was showing as 'UNKNOWN'. I didn't know if this would affect anything else, so I carried on. I mounted the windows 95 folder and ran setup /is from the win95 folder. At first it looked like it was going to work, but after agreeing to the EULA, I got an error that had the error code 'SU-0013'.
I was never able to get past this. Things I tried since: Mounting the drive by typing 'imgmount c c: users desktop hdd-1gb.img' (didn't make any difference) Trying to remove the partition with fdisk.com (DOSBox crashed) Trying to format the disk image with format.com (DOSBox crashed) This is what was in the status window when DOSBox crashed: DOSBox version 0.74 Copyright 2002-2010 DOSBox Team, published under GNU GPL.

This may seem like an insane proposition, but, I've managed to emulate 3.1, 95, 98, ME in dosbox, and was wondering if anyone might know how to emulate XP in dosbox Yes, dosbox lacks perfect IDE support(it does support it but the devs tell me that its not ideal), but its possible that a SVN build might have it, and a HDD can be created in dosbox, its just a bit of a pain. Is anyone up to the challenge? I find the dosbox emulates my games from the 95/98 era much better than virtualbox, was curious if anyone might be able to help with my quest. As of right now, I've been stuck in figuring out a proper way to start booting windows xp within dosbox.
This is not possible. Windows versions 95/98/ME are built on top of DOS but XP is built on the NT kernel (so were Windows 2000 and Windows NT Workstation 1-4, as well as the newer versions of Windows). If you want to run Windows XP for compatibility with older games I recommend either A) Linux with WINE (works most of the time) or B) VMware Workstation, which has GPU support up to DX10, so it's fully compatible with XP and its software (VirtualBox, on the other hand, has a very basic GPU that can't realistically run any games). It doesn't really have anything to do with being based on DOS, but the emulated CPU, as I've been able to boot my own hobby OS in DOSBox.
Windows 2000 and XP require Pentium instructions that are not emulated by DOSBox, so they won't run. Windows 95 is actually not really built on top of DOS either. It runs its own 32-bit multitasking kernel (VMM32.VXD), and only uses DOS as a bootloader and compatibility layer for old 16-bit drivers. I've never tried NT 3.x or 4.0 on DOSBox, though, but I don't expect them to run.
I didn't know that DOSBox was such a versatile emulator! I thought it just came with an emulated version of DOS at its base and other things must run on top of it? Does your hobby OS not use DOS as a bootloader or anything? Windows 95's kernel is still built with DOS in mind ('designed to be maximally compatible with. MS-DOS' according to Wikipedia), and IIRC the command line was native DOS. The whole reason they created Windows NT Workstation and later Windows 2000 and XP is because this kernel, whether it's DOS-based or DOS-forked or DOS-like or DOS-'maximally compatible' or whatever, was getting to be a mess.
I would expect NT workstation to have much higher requirements than Windows 95 or 98 or ME.
