VirtualBox's guest additions (required to use the additional virtualization features) only work for XP at the least IIRC. (Actually, Bochs also has Voodoo emulation, but not in the downloadable binaries, last time I checked – plus Bochs isn't quite as fast or user-friendly.)l33t Posts: 7043 Joined: 19:50 Location: Canada.

That's what makes DOSBox with Voodoo emulation unique. The line in the sand for dosbox was drawn at 'software that runs under DOS', and it will be exceptionally painful to run anything requiring Windows 95, but there's also nearly no need to run Win95 at all because you can run Win32 programs in Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 anyway. That leaves a few edge-cases that can't run on a current version of Windows.For alternatives. There are 'glide wrappers' (thanks UltraHLE for driving that need) to make games that use the glide API work on current operating systems. For software that is utterly broken on NT, it's usually because of CD copy-protection. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC.I had to reinstall that OS so many times that I memorized the serial number.DOSBOX is not meant to run Win95, as it's designed to emulate a DOS environment, and thus it has very limited ability to support 'booters', such as what would be required to boot an OS like Win95 or OS/2, or even Linux.The line in the sand for dosbox was drawn at 'software that runs under DOS', and it will be exceptionally painful to run anything requiring Windows 95, but there's also nearly no need to run Win95 at all because you can run Win32 programs in Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 anyway. For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications.

This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. Bochs was written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project.īochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in development. Currently, Bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486, Pentium/PentiumII/PentiumIII/Pentium4 or x86-64 CPU including optional MMX, SSEx and 3DNow! instructions.īochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, DOS, Windows® 95/98 and Windows® NT/2000/XP or Windows Vista. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms.
