DOSBox running on a 64-bit version of Windows 10. I quickly navigated to the Temp directory in the DOSBox command prompt. I then proceeded to go into each game directory via DOSBox command prompt and run each of the install programs / scripts. With a little tweaking of the game options, I'm off to relive some of my favorite DOS video games. Windows is started as an application program, and can be terminated at any time, returning the user to the MS-DOS prompt. MS-DOS also provides device drivers for certain tasks such as CD-ROM or network access, specifically remote disk drive or remote printer access; these drivers run in real mode.

I have spent a lot of time (more than I would like to admit) during the last few months trying to make Windows 95 work on RetroPie. It was relatively easy task to run it on my Windows 10 dektop, but comepletely different challenge to achieve the same result on RetroPie.

In the end, I managed to put together stable Windows 95 running under DOSBox from Retropie. Whole purpose of this was to have everything together (with other systems and games in RetroPie). It boots without any problem, runs DOS games without crashing. This is only the beginning and I will try to push this 'project' even further (run games that require additional drivers, etc.). If you are interested, you can follow my guide below and share any of your knowledge to help us make this thing better. Before we start, I want to say Thank You to and - you were very helpful!This guide is not here to get you through every single click required to achieve the result. Some basic knowledge of DOSBox commands + configuration and knowledge of RetroPie folders structure is required.

If you are struggling with anything described below, feel free to ask and I will try to help.1. Before we start, you will need the following. MS-DOS Boot Disk - I used version 6.22 (file should be named as 622C.IMG). DOSBox - I used version 0.74. Windows 95 - ISO image of installation disk (let's call it WINSTALL.ISO).

S3 Graphics Trio 32/64 (Windows 9X/ME) - I found package called w9520204.zip2. Creating HDD file. Run bximage.exe (this is part of Bochs x86 package).

enter following input:1hdflat2048c.img. file c.img was created in the directory where bximage.exe is placed. move c.img to your working directory, let's say D:Win953. Extracting installation files from Windows 95 ISO file. mount WINSTALL.ISO using Daemon Tools or anything similar (it should contain directory win95, if not, you do not have the right disk).

copy contents of win95 directory (79MB) to subdirectory winstall of our working directory - D:Win95winstall4. Extracting S3 zip archive w9520204.zip to our working directory5. Working directory review. verify that you have all required files and folders in your working directory:.

w9520204 (directory 440kB). winstall (directory 79MB). c.img (1.96GB). 622C.IMG (1.40MB)6.

Preparing HDD. start DOSBox and execute following commands:. imgmount 2 D:/Win95/c.img -size 512,63,128,520 -fs none. boot d:/win95/622C.IMG. fdisk (Option 1 - Create DOS partition of Logical DOS Drive). close DOSBox and start it again to execute following commands:.

imgmount c D:/Win95/c.img. boot d:/win95/622C.IMG. format c:.

close DOSBox7. Copying installation files to HDD. start DOSBox and execute following commands:. imgmount c D:/Win95/c.img. mount d D:/Win95/winstall. c:. mkdir WIN95.

cd WIN95. copy D:WIN95. close DOSBox8.Install Windows 95. start DOSBox and execute following commands:. imgmount c D:/Win95/c.img. boot d:/win95/622C.IMG.

c:. cd Win95. setup /is. follow instructions on screen to finish installation. once installation is done, set Windows 95 to 16-colors to get rid of black square cursor9. Booting Windows 95 after installation. whenever you need to boot Windows 95 from now on, execute following commands in DOSBox:.

imgmount c D:/Win95/c.img. boot D:/Win95/c.img10. Windows 95 configuration.

copy content of w9520204 (placed in our working directory) to c.img (use the same approach like in 7th step). boot Windows 95 ( 9th step). install S3 drivers using content of w9520204 folder. navigate to folder wherever you copied it to (for example C:S3 in my case).

right click S3 file and choose Install. remove drivers COM1, COM2, LPT1:. Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager11. I GOT IT WORKING!!! It doesn't autostart from the shell script, I have to manually mount and boot it, but I can work on that.Now if I can get Starcraft Broodwar to run.EDIT: I can mount the.iso image I ripped from my Starcraft CD using imgmount d /path -t iso BUT booting a HD image in Dosbox wipes out all your mounts, so back to square one there. If there was only a way to return to the Z: drive and mount something while Win95 is loaded up.By running MS-DOS from a disk image, you will lose some of the niceties of the DOS environment which DOSBox provides. Some such examples are the ability to mount and unmount drives whenever you like, and the ability to run DOSBox’s internal commands.

Also, if you need to use the mouse in MS-DOS you will need to load a suitable mouse driver.DOSBox does not emulate CD-ROM hardware, so you won’t be able to load CD-ROM drivers and access a CD-ROM drive or ISO image. An alternative could be to use a hard disk image and attach an additional IDE drive to DOSBox.

You will still be unable to switch between disk images while DOSBox is running, however.UPDATE: apparently there ARE utilities that will mount an iso image in Win95, but I can't seem to get the huge iso image onto the virtual drive without hanging Dosbox. I'm downloading the 28mb freeware demo, if I can't get that working then I guess there is no sense trying to get the whole iso to run anyway.UPDATE #2: This is becoming an epic pain in the ass. I'm gonna plunk down the cash and trying using Exagear to run some Windows games. I have been experimenting with getting a ISO to stay mounted after booting into the Windows 95 IMG without any luck. I can get a floppy IMG to stay though!How are you reading iso’s to install and play games?I did the same as did with the Windows 95 install CD. I extracted the contents of the CD into a directory on my computer (C:Win95), mounted the c.img file in DOSBox as C: and copied that directory over to the C: (which is saving it in the c.img file), then booted into Win95 and just installed it from that new directory.I've successfully installed Hover! (1995) and Fury 3 (1995) with this method.I've also read about others install the last Windows 9x compatible version of Daemon Tools v3.4.7 and copying the ISO over like I did with the directory and mounting it in Win95.

I haven't tried this yet! Only drivers emulated in the Dosbox core program remain if you boot an image. Hard Drive emulation is there, but Dosbox doesn't emulate CD drives at the hardware level, so if you mount a CD image it goes bye-bye if you boot a hard drive image.By running MS-DOS from a disk image, you will lose some of the niceties of the DOS environment which DOSBox provides.
