Doom 3 is an OpenGL game. BTW, I forgot to mention that Virtualbox (and VMWare) only accelerate DirectX 8, DirectX 9 and OpenGL games (using XP and later OS as guest).
If your game is DirectX 7 or earlier, you won't get acceleration. To use 3D accelearation on VirtualBox: - Be sure to enable 3D acceleration on the VM configuration, and put enough memory on the video card. Install XP as guest OS.
After installing it, reboot the VM on safe mode. On safe mode, install VMWare guest utilities, enabling 3D support. If you install the guest utilities on 'normal' mode (not safe mode), the 3D drivers won't work.
Hello suite to my first that was closed without any valid reason, I rest my question! I have Windows 95 C OSR 2.5 and Windows 98 and I'll not have to install dosbox so functional stable and it crashes at the second stage of installation to time of detection device that is after rebooting the first time. I said that I have seen on the internet via youtube video showing on Windows 9x and even dosbox Windows 98 3dfx card with dosbox emulate. If someone can not to assist because I can not find any tutorial to install Windows 9x stable so dosbox, if possible with a 3dfx card.
In advance thank you I specify that I want to run on dosbox host bone pc Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit Service Pack 2 and Windows 7 64-bit home premium and have games that do not work under MS-DOS but Windows 9x and works very poorly on Windows XP and Vista Next, 7, and which requires direct3d or even 3dfx. Sorry for my bad English I'm French that translates google PS: Microsoft Virtual PC and VMware does not allow direct3d on Windows 9x, direct3d for vmware is that from Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7!

I don't get the motivation to Win95 in DOSBox, it's horribly unstable and you don't even get a CD-ROM device to play the majority of the games released for Win95. For me I'd love to get it stable on Dosbox with CD-Rom support, since Dosbox has superb hardware support and is quite fast Maybe I'm missing something butteh.have you ever considered installing 9x on Virtual PC? Edit: I missed the part about hardware support. Hardware support in VPC isn't one of it's strong points, but atleast it'll support a cdrom l33t Posts: 7596 Joined: 2010-1-27 @ 18:53 Location: Netherlands.
Contents. Wine Main article: Wine is for Linux, various BSDs, and OS X and allows Windows applications to run on those systems.
Support for Windows 3.x and 9x programs is quite strong, though since it focuses more on modern games, they're the lowest priority. DOSBox Main article: Windows 3.x, 95, and 98 can be installed in DOSBox. Windows ME can also be installed, but in comparison to the other versions of Windows listed here, it is unstable and runs very poorly in DOSBox.
DOSBox was not designed to run Windows. Windows 3.x runs very smoothly, but 95 and 98 require more legwork (for instance, Windows 3.x will run games from a mounted CD drive just fine, while 9x require Daemon Tools to be installed inside the OS) and are much more clunky. They also run slower than unaccelerated QEMU. Running DOS games from inside Windows caused problems with a real copy. It is much worse inside DOSBox so do not run DOS games from Windows on DOSBox. There is no 3D acceleration available. Some games will not detect Windows properly and refuse to install.
All the problems and bugs Windows had by itself will only be made worse using it in an emulator and without a real copy of DOS. Step by step guide to installing Windows on DOSBox. There has been interest in creating a spin off version of DOSBox that incorporates compatibility with Windows 95/98/ME called, but as of now it has not passed the theoretical stage.
PCem Main article: PCem is an emulator for old x86 PCs that can emulate actual old hardware fairly accurately. Configuration is not the easiest, but once it's running, it works quite well. Needs somewhat powerful hardware to run. Currently, it only emulates up to a Pentium processor on the latest stable release, but if you have the muscle for it, you can also emulate an S3 ViRGE, or even a 3dfx Voodoo.
Bochs/Qemu Both of these emulators are good for general purpose x86 emulation. 3D acceleration isn't that great right now so it's better to use another option until 3D acceleration improves. References.
I figured this might deserve its own thread since I've been asked / heard this question a number of times. This post has been created in response to this thread:.WARNING: The following instructions delete all data on the hard drive. They may be modified to retain data, but I take no responsibility for data loss.KNOWN LIMITATIONS:. Using DOS requires that the drive be formatted in FAT32. It is possible to convert to NTFS later on, but I'll leave that decision up to you. Your system must bet set to boot from the floppy drive.
A QUICK NOTE: Many users can avoid installation from DOS by using the bootable floppy diskettes provided by Microsoft. You can find them here: The information given will allow the following to happen: 1.) Install Windows 2000 (XP?) if you do not have a bootable CD-ROM. Doesn't W2k/XP setup need files from the subfolders in i386?
'copy.' does not take subdirs with it. There is also no need to make the HD bootable or to install the CDROM drivers manually.
Install Windows 2000 In Hyper-v
Download custom Windows 98SE bootdisk from 2. Make the floppy 3. Boot from the floppy. Create and format a partition for w2k setup.
It should be 600MB+ is you skip point 7, 1.2GB+ if not. All the tools you need are on the floppy. Reboot from the floppy 6. Run smartdrv from the floppy to make things go faster 7.
(Optional) use the xcopy command to transfer the i386 folder to the HD. /E switch is for transferring subdirectories.
Run winnt.exe from the CD (or HD if you did the copy thing). My W2K Pro CD has a directory containing the programs and files required to extract to floppy and create the “boot disks” all 4 of them. With instructions. (like NT used) The Directory is called “MAKEBOOT” And the program called “makeboot.exe” run it and Follow the instructions. It will create the 4 boot disk set. To install the OS just Put disk 1 into the floppy drive set your PC to boot from Floppy and reboot then follow the instructions.
It'll take you through the install but copy the initial driver pool from the floppies then load the CD after it is done with them. Boot your computer using a Window 98 boot disk. You may need to add Smartdrv.sys to the floppy, to use on older systems. You can find Smartdrv.sys in the TOOLS, OLDDOS directory of a Windows 98 install disk At the A prompt type FDISK, follow instructions to delete an existing partition, or create a partition.
At the A prompt type FORMAT C, follow instructions At the A prompt type Smartdrv, press enter At the A prompt type CD E: where E: is the CD ROM Place the OS install CD in the CD Drive At the A prompt type CD i386, press enter At the A prompt type winnt, press enter, follow on screen instructions That's it! Heaven forbid if you have to install any Microsoft OS using floppy disks.
I remember installing Windows 95 from floppies.Enter the command edit C: config.sys.Type the following: DEVICE=C: OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001.Save and exit as you did before.Remove your floppy disk, insert the Windows CD and restart the computer. If you have a swappable floppy/CD-ROM, exchange the floppy for the CD drive and insert the Windows 2000 or XP CD. In order for DOS to detect the CD-ROM, it is very important that you have the CD in before your computer boots next time.Your hard drive is now bootable and will now have CD-ROM support/list 3.) Getting the Windows 2000 / XP setup started. The Windows 98 logo will appear. Your computer should now boot into DOS at command prompt again. (C. You will now have CD-ROM access (D.
Enter the command D: i386 winnt.exe.Instructions edited to exclude CD copy, although you may if you wish Now Windows 2000 setup will begin. It will also perhaps nag you about smartdrive not being installed. Sync2 for outlook keygen. Just ignore it and continue setup anyway. I'd tell you how, but it would make this thing even more complicated.
It may also ask you about the location of the setup files. The default path is D:, which should be correct.
Simply press ENTER if it asks. Click to expand.Hunny I did that.
Do you think i like switching back one huge PC back and forth. I wrote down your instructions the problem is it's not detecting the 'E' drive. It's not recognizing that i have a cdrom at all. I've tried yours, as well as everyones on this site. I think it has to do with the driver. It's weird though because when my mom gave me this comp the cd rom she had in it didn't work either.
So i put the one i knew worked in it and now the same thing. Is it possible that the cables connecting it are bad? I didn't ignore you.
