DosFreak wrote on 2021-02-14, 01:14: Windows 3.x never emulated DOS. Enhanced mode ran MS-DOS in a virtual machine. IIRC, the Virtual Machine Manager in WIN386 handles that. So you're saying that WIN386 does all the emulation right?

Hi, good morning! I think it depends on the mode of Windows 3.1.. Windows 3.1 has Standard-Mode and 386 Enhanced-Mode. Standard-Mode was made to be compatible with the 286 processor. - On a 286, DOSX and KRNL286 are executed and load Windows. On a 386+, KRNL386 may also do the job. In Standard-Mode …

You should download, run and tell us :) CpuSpd is not a TSR so the answer is no. BTW I do not think you can find any utility with such a feature. But you can create batch files that start CpuSpd before your speed sensitive DOS programs run and also after they quit. How how do I make those batch …

Can this program work on a Windows 3.1 DOS session windows? As in it works as a TSR and it automatically turns off the CPU internal cache when in DOS session? Did you also tested this on Windows 3.1? I'm surprised no one made any videos of this .

Hello it's been a while since I have been on Vogons. So last December I figured out a better way to play DOS games on Windows 3.1 is to use a DOS boot disk. And so I made one on my other hard disk (used as my D drive) as my DOS boot disk (A better solution than using a floppy disk for myself.) And …

It clearly says: "This packed file contains all of the required files that EDOS needs for proper operation." Sometimes, install files must be in a folder called "Disk1", you may try that. However, after reading the docs, your expectations are probably too high. It won't improve compatibility even a …
