I've taken your diff of my initial setuppp.inf and cut it down even further. I'll post up a copy once I'm done toying with it. Either multilng or locale or both are required. Stripping them both out made first boot get stuck saying "path is too long". Presently my windows folder is 27.1mb without …

After confirmation, the difference in locale was due to a typo. However, I installed with that typo in place, which suggests that locale.inf might not be needed at all.

Looks like the setuppp.inf for B and C are the same. Actually, I noticed that the setuppp.inf in the precopy2 cab from C actually says version B, but it never gets read because there is already one in /WIN95/. I see you've cut out a bunch of the net* files. On my first attempt I cut them all out but …

Slightly less retro, but has anyone managed to put Windows 9x on a recent-ish Thinkpad? Found an x200s in the "junk computer" section of a computer store here in Akamon-dori (think of it as a smaller Akihabara) for about 9000yen. It POSTs, but there is no OS, and the condition tag just lists the …

For now I think it would be better to focus on carving out big chunks from setuppp.inf. After that it's a case of diminishing returns. Removing single files (like unused driver infs, wallpapers, etc.) should be done by editing the individual infs that copy them to the install folder, rather than …

The same place I got my sc-88 from has a Yamaha MU80 for 5580 yen. Any real point in owning one for retrogaming? I hear FF7 has XG sound, but is that it? Keeping an eye out for an MT32/CM64L etc, but I think they are too old for the place (a music instrument store) and maybe munt is good enough …

Picked up a Roland SC-88 w/ Japanese manual earlier for 4100 yen at a store down the street. Didn't even need to buy a USB-MIDI adapter for it as it turns out my Roland A-500S usb midi keyboard can be switched to act as an interface. One thing it was missing was the original disc for it, which …

I've not actually gotten any pagefault errors in Win95C (just WinME). At this point I've removed well over 20 items from inside setuppp.inf, so hard to write what exactly I've removed. Here it is: http://pastebucket.com/23342 I'm sure more can be removed (net stuff particularly), but this works fine …

If the goal is simply for speed, nothing as complicated as a script is needed. All you need is a setuppp.inf posted without any of the cruft. If you pad that to 4550 bytes (for Win95C anyways), you don't even need to extract & edit layout.inf. All the little complicated things like drivers need to …

Spent a day at work throwing an image together in dosbox svn-daum. -Win95C -Plus!95 (only the visual enhancements like full window drag and nicer icons) -DirectX 8.0a (last version that runs on 95) -Latest official Voodoo drivers for 9x -SB16 drivers (built in ones caused a blue screen on boot) - …
