Weird. Given Qemu has a more mature support for win9x as guest OS It does? I would not have thought Qemu was targeting Win9x in particular at all. Please, do tell: what gives you that idea? Have you been running Win9x in Qemu yourself? Wonder why they ported it on Bochs instead. It is surprising to …

They both require the same legacy ISA support in the motherboard, right? (I never did get to the bottom of that.)

At the top, it says to use this driver, but the link wants to download a 'download manager'? Seems the link is kaput. I guess someone should fix it. Googling for "vg-w9x-q3.exe" as pictured in the screenshots quickly brings one to http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=128 . P.S. Is there …

I created a topic in the wrong catagory so I guess this one is better for my question :P This is also not the right category, as this is the forum for DOSBox and not Bochs. And I have no idea why you are talking about Bochs 2.5.1 when the latest version is clearly 2.6. Also, starting more topics is …

I should add that compiling is usually much easier in Linux than it is in Windows, though there can often be some guesswork involved. You can use Wubi to install Linux through Windows without having to muck up your hard drive, or alternatively install it on a bootable USB stick.

If I had to take a wild guess, perhaps it is trying to eject the disc because it fails a copy protection check?

At the risk of being redundant, how did you mount the image? Does it work if you mount it with Daemon Tools and then mount the virtual CD-ROM in DOSBox with -ioctl and so on? (Is that actually supposed to work any differently from imgmount?)

Well! That is very interesting news indeed. I have no idea why you are posting this in the Windows forum, however. From the looks of things, this patch was applied just after the last official release in September, meaning you will need to find a version of Bochs compiled from the current source, or …

It sounds like you should try booting into DOS with a real disk image. (Unless Mr. Ripsaw jumps in with another brilliant patch. 🤣 ) I wrote some quick and dirty instructions to get going in Captain Blood Doesn't Start .

I try to download it onto my usb but it never runs If you are not using the version from http://www.vbox.me/ , that's probably quite likely.
