To run on Windows 95 or NT4 without Active Desktop requires a modification to DOSBox so that it doesn't store the nf in the user profile, see my thread here where I am wiriting guides on compiling DOSBox: DOSBox Compilation Guidesįor NT3.51 a further change is to modify the DOSBox configure to use WSOCK instead of Winsock2.įor NT3.50 a further change it to modify SDL to disable fullscreen and copy the joystick file from 3.51 to 3.50. This is intentional since DOS games even on a 486 can run too fast and DOSBox was designed when 9x\Windows 2000 were mainly used and XP was still a POS (before SP2). The official version of DOSBox supports a host OS of Windows 95/NT4 and above with Active Desktop and 386 (I want to stay official DOSBox is compiled with 386, if not then >=Pentium Pro) and above. but modern computers don't let me use my beautiful all-beige computer with 1997 CRT monitor so I want to try this first!

I can't disable any caches on the BIOS of my Dell's 440bx-based motherboard, so I still need to try the bunch of those slowdown programs, but many report stuttering problems with the software solutions so I thought I'd look into DOSBox as well.Īnd yes, I know, I know, "just run it on a modern computer". Here's a couple of the games which won't run for me:īarbarian 1987, Jazz the Jackrabbit 1994, Silent Service ii 1990, Wing Commander 1990 My computer is from 2000, with a video card from 2002 (GeForce 4 ti 4600), so besides the one outlier below we're talking about a 10-13 year difference.and DOSBox was first released in 2002 so I thought that this might just be possible.
Is this possible? I'm slowly going through my list of games and there's a very small number that I can't run on my P3 700mhz (soon to be upgraded to a 1Ghz Coppermine/100mhz bus) because it's too fast.
Probably been asked a million times but no matter how I search I find posts asking how to run Windows 98 INSIDE DOSBox - when I want to be able to r un DOXBox on a computer running Windows 98!
