But he as SEEN it ;) I have seen at least a Dos 6.22 converter for Windows. It's a mighty hack. You start dos and then run some setup.exe in a directory filled with files and then suddenly (after about 30-60 minutes) you have Windows 95 on that machine. MIRACLE!!! I guess that dos2unix works the …

About your writing style, write all you want but write it more readable, meaning write smaller blocks.You wrote yourself how down you are with keyboard use. But if I understand you correctly you neither want to use different start menu items nor want to use the command line, nor a frontend. Bad luck …

Even with menus in the startup files you needed to restart. I advise you to read the documentation of dosbox. Especially the commandline functions of dosbox. You can use different config files for different usages. All easily done on the command line without clicking... Also, as i wrote before, the …

Right now this scaler is not practical as it is only for stills and not for real time scaling. Afaik someone IS working on doing it real time but expect CPU usage to be very high

I think the way it is now is actually closer to what happened on a real machine. On real Dos I had to have different autoexec.bat/config.sys for whatever I wanted to run. Play Ultima 7 - disable Ems and load as few drivers as possible to keep the low memory footprint extremely small. Play Worms - …

It DOES matter whether you install Windows 95 or 98. Just so you know, reporting problems with installing Windows 9x is a proven way to have a topic closed. It's not supported and thus no interest in fixing problems or helping people with it

Make a batchfile with the gamename or exe name and do the cd command in there. You *could* enter all directories in the Path setting but that is limited to something and thus will not work for everything and many games would be screwed up anyways since they expect files in their directory...

You need to prepare the image with hal's megabuild and it should work. Prepare means creating and formatting the images. If you do this with dosbox you are limited to 504 MB. At least you were used to be limited. Haven't checked in ages, though.

Obviously the path to the images is different as well. Fix those and keep the case sensitiveness of linux in mind. Also cue files need to be checked as well for correct bin name and path.
