Hello people I hope you have enjoyed your thanksgiving and all and I am now trying out another emulator that can do Windows 95.
And I have some questions about the emulators functions and how it is good with Windows 95.

Does QEMU now emulate Direct 3D acceleration for Windows 95 same for the GDI? Does QEMU play DOS games?

QEMU doesn't do any 3D acceleration on 9x.

You must install DOS into your emulated PC first to have DOS which can run DOS games. Just like on a real PC.

If I am not mistaken, there is no particular advantage at this point to using QEMU for DOS games instead of DOSBox (or PCem or VMware).
