Snark aside, it illustrates what you were wising for of getting Windows games to run in DOSBox without Windows installed in it, first. Even if it is the Java port of DOSBox, the same effort could be applied to regular DOSBox.

I didn't see much about Windows in that thread, except for (I think) someone asking about the compatibility of Windows 95 with it. Care to make your point a little more obvious, please?

Reading comprehension. Full Tilt! Pinball and Caesar 3 are both Win32 games. Right on the page I linked to:

Here is my first running win32 game in jdosbox. It's the shareware version of Full Tilt! Pinball (1995). The menu, caption and other non-client areas of the window are missing, but other than that it seems to work pretty well.

I linked to it not because of the Java port of DOSBox, but because he had managed to get Win32 games games to run in his DOSBox without installing Windows in it.

I dunno, it sounds to me like they're using Windows 95. So you've pointed out talk of plans to port Wine. That means so much.

Again, reading comprehension. He has already done it, even if it is incomplete. The two demos he has up are running through jDOSBox with what he has already done with the APIs. He specifically states that he cannot use Windows online.

There would have been no point in danoon publishing a demo of Windows installed in jDOSBox. He also states that not everything works like:

The menu, caption and other non-client areas of the window are missing, but other than that it seems to work pretty well.

If he had simply loaded Windows 9x in it, these things would work.

I am sorry if I have been a bit harsh, but after hijacking a thread then stating that you said:

If only someone would pair Wine with dosbox's CPU core and port it to Windows

I provided a link to the closest thing to this that actually works, you responded with snark. It tends to rub people the wrong way. Great way to start out on a new forum.

Sorry, I guess I can be a bit bad about that. I'm not usually though, honest, officer!
I originally found this thread because the op had the same problem I had. He wanted to use Windows 3.1 with autolock, which doesn't work too well. A solution was proposed, but the driver suggested was for Windows 95. I simply pointed it out. And now... this.
