HI All,
I was wondering if there was a 486 emulator which runs under windows. i have tried a couple different dos ones, but i could not get them working. i have tried bochs and emu486 with no success.
thanks
Brad
Well bochs should work although it's known the hard to set up.
You could try virtual pc or vmware.
Both are not free but I think they work fine.
Is there any special reason why it should be a 486 ?

How to ask questions the smart way!
i'm not sure if you remember, but Geoworks once had an OS called Geoworks Ensemble (which ran on top of windows). it was a really cool program, but it won't run on anything higher than a 486 (tried a pentium, but would not run). i once had a 486 machine but it took a dump on me (i'm still in the market for one as we speak). also, running older dos games is a pain in the ass. i tried virtual pc, but it emulates a pentium class or higher. Virtual pc is cool in that i was able to load windows 3.11 😀 I havent tried VMware, i'll download it and try it.
thanks for any help
Brad

VPC is rather poor for most DOS games (the less audio/visual action the better), VMWare is worse.
