Windows 3.1 games that do *not* work in Windows 98?

Posted on 2007-02-17, 16:10

in Windows
The title says it all. I have a DOS/Win98 machine for legacy games and before I go through the trouble of loading Windows 3.1 and trying all my old Windows games, can anyone add to this topic, games written for Windows 3.1 that do not work under Windows 95 or 98SE? My sound card of choice is the …

I need sound support in Windows 3.1 which the Aureal doesn't provide. I'd like to play "Lode Runner The Legend Returns" on one of these PC's. So I want to tackle getting both the Aureal SQ2500 and a ISA SoundBlaster 16 working on the same PC. Ideally, SB16 for DOS, then the Aureal SQ2500 for …

DOSIdle works. IDLE.COM from Microsoft's Virtual PC application (now free) works even better. However, I show no CPU usage sitting at a DOS Prompt under DOSBox without either. Does anyone else? Back to this .386 driver for Windows 3.1.... It works great with real Windows 3.1, VPC, VMWare, etc. But …

I've noticed one minor anomaly. I only notice this on my (slower) Centrino laptop, not my faster Athlon64 desktop PC. Without the CPU idle device driver, when I click on a program within Program Manager, it follows click--> quick hour glass --> program launches. With the driver loaded, the hour …

CPU load reduction for Windows 3.1

Posted on 2007-02-10, 17:10

I was poking around the Internet for a utility that would reduce my CPU in Windows 3.1 the same way DOSIDLE works for DOS - mainly for VPC and VMWare. I run installations of Windows 3.1 in a variety of VM's. I came across a nice small one that was written just a year ago. http://www.weiqigao.com/ …

I saw ykhwong had a new build based on .66RC1. It blows up whenever I exit DOSBox. But Windows 3.1 is now fine. Interestingly, this happens on my main home PC, which is an AMD. My work laptop (Thinkpad T41 - Intel Centrino) works fine with the same folder, Windows 3.1 and all. So maybe something …

I'd be happy to test my current installation of Windows 3.1. Mine also is from a few months ago, installed under DOSBox 0.65. It has the joystick support, SB16, WinG, S3 drivers, etc. I downloaded some of the mid January builds from your link DOSFreak, but it looks like some of the .dll files were …

My Windows 3.1 works fine in ykhwong's 1-5-2007 build, which is my current favorite. Nobody cares what's your favourite. If you think it's a bug, test it in a clean cvs and, if possible, try to determine the date when it's broken. Currently there is no useful information about those windows …

In 01.05.2007 cvs by ykhwong, i'm 100% sure because i actually finished this game on it... edit: so something went wrong between 01.05.2007 and 01.21.2007 ykhwong's cvs This statement is correct in many ways. My Windows 3.1 works fine in ykhwong's 1-5-2007 build, which is my current favorite. It …

FreeDOS utilities?

Posted on 2007-01-29, 15:02

I know that DOSBox supports running some MSDOS 5.0 utilities within the shell, but it can't run DOS 6.22 commands (files). So then I thought I would try some FreeDOS files, and the one in particular I want to run does not work. http://freedos.sourceforge.net/mem/ FreeDOS' mem.exe command is much …
