Heyho guys 😁 I've got some questions about a problem that don't let me sleep ... okay it's not that bad but it really turns me into a badass ^^...

Well I followed the "Windows95 on DOSBox-0.74" guide
( here's the link: Guide - Windows 95 on DOSBox 0.74 thank you for this guide =) ) and Windows works fine. The settings are correct and it feels a bit like back in the days of Win95 ^^ .. and now here's the point:

I just played a round solitaire and then thought "Hmm let's try to get something better to run here." .. I tried to play DOOM II. The first time music played and it seems to run fine but when the first imp in the demo makes a shitty sound the whole thing hangs up. I turned the sound off and tried it again and it worked! So here's my first question: How can I play DOOM II with sound? Everybody there who've done it ?

And now another scene: I tried to run the command because I wanted to run "mem". Maybe something happens but I can't see anything! After execution it seems it hangs up but with a few ALT+F4 I can get back to windows. Is that "normal" when I run Win95 in DOSBox or not?

Wow I think this was definetly the longest text I've written in a forum xD...
I hope someone could help me.
Thank you guys 😀
Vincent

Win9x is NOT supported. Use a virtualizer or whatever.

I read about this several times, just wanted to know if someone figured out some interesting things about win9x in dosbox. If I want to run win9x the normal way, I just have to turn on my old PC and install windows on it but where is the fun doing so ? 😁

I will play around and write if I found out something interesting but if someone has some infos it would be nice 😁

Ah and by the way: thank you for dosbox!!! It's the most used application on my system and by many friends of mine 😀
