Click on "DOSBOX CVS Builds" in my signature. There you will find links for HAL9000's MegaBuild and the AEP CVS. HAL has included some fixes in his build for 9x but some of those fixes are in the latest CVS (AEP) as well but not all fixes so your probably better of using HAL's build for Windows 9x …

We can't help you with warez. Go ask from where you downloaded the game. For some reason The Sims is a very popular game and it's almost always on NPD's Top 10 list. It sells like crazy and is available everywhere so there's no reason not to buy it. So buy it. Thread closed.

Don't use 0.72 with these images. You must use the DOSBox CVS. Also if you want to boot an image make sure you are making it bootable by running "SYS C:" when you have the HD image mounted and you are booting from a DOS/9x floppy image. And stop using bximage. HAL9000 spent alot of time on IMGMake …

You'd have to install Daemon Tools/Virtual CloneDrive/etc etc and copy an iso image of the CD to the hard drive image and mount it from there. Also you'll have to use the older versions of those tools since the latest versions do not support Windows 9x anymore. DOSBox doesn't use 100% of the CPU …

You'll have to use a CD emulator. Also instead of using bximage you can use HAL9000's MegaBuild of DOSBox which includes IMGMAKE (HD image creation utility). I'd stick with DOSBox 0.72 or HAL9000's MegaBuild if you want to run Windows 95a/b since the latest CVS builds of DOSBox are more unstable for …

Just try to use the latest version of DOSBox whenever possible and always mention the version of DOSBox that you are using. Otherwise you can expect us to get pissed off. All the time on these forums we have people coming in here trying to play Duke Nukem 3D (or other processor intensive game) in …
