Odium is better known as Gorky 17, and is still available on GOG and Steam. There is surely a way of getting it running on Windows 10 without elaborate emulation. I'm thinking about purchasing a copy of Windows 95, and am unsure of which version of VMware to purchase along with that. Generally there …

It crashes once we go to 256 color mode That sounds more like "it doesn't work at all" rather than "it doesn't work 'well'". Im not sure but it may be a derivative of fastdosbox. It doesn't look like anyone's mentioned that here in the last three years. I may be mistaken, but most people asking …

Windows 3.1 games are fine but it doesn't do 256 color mode well. Windows 3.1 works fine in DOSBox and there are guides in the forum here about how to set it up. I have no idea what "it doesn't do 256 color mode well" is supposed to mean, but if you're trying to use the latest daum build, that …

You may have been misdirected, as discussion of getting Windows 95 running in DOSBox is generally discouraged here since it is beyond the current scope of the project. The "powerful dosbox-daum" build has also been broken for quite some time now (i.e. the latest version seems to have numerous …

If you need to be so sure, there is plain text documentation (using a simple markup) in the help folder, but all patches work by injecting new code in the executable at run time and you will need to start the Help at least once anyway, so i guess this is just not for you guys You see, even just …

especially computers that go on the internet I agree that if you're going to be using a 98SE machine for everyday tasks and browsing the Internet, a service pack like this is probably an excellent idea – but that's a thoroughly unusual use case at this point. It's either broken or it isn't If …

It all depends on what you want to do with your 98 SE computer, I suppose. If you're only running a couple of games and you are satisfied with their performance and stability, then perhaps there is no need to fix what isn't broken. I don't know if it really qualifies as "bloat" since it's mostly …
