Nice discovery with just one minor problem - most of other people already know it. 😀
There are even some images on DOSBOX web site and many, many messages concerning Windows in DOSBOX on vogons...
Windows 3.x run in DOSBOX (just do not use W3.11 with dynamic core - this will not work).

there is even a guide on how to set it up 😀

Windows 3.11 doesn't work with the dynamic core? Interesting... Anyone have any idea as to why?

Port access is not fully virtualized for speed reasons.

are there any games playable with midi, SB, & hi res VGA yet?

Fortunately I bought it ages ago, since nowadays the website exists, but you can't actually order or contact ANYONE there 🙁

Well basically, it does work even with Dynamic Core, as long as you don't need Keyboard Support.

This basically enables you to Play Solitarie while listening to MP3 (with some 16bit-win-mp3 player, there are a few). You could consider it a stress test for your machine because the mp3 stuff takes insane amount of your real cpu's power, so if you can play Solitarie without delay, you got a quite decent machine 😉

But I noticed an other issue: No matter if either Win 3.11 is run in Core or any other mode, Shutting it down ("go back to dos") will crash Dosbox (very weird illegal write stuff in console), but it will still quit on strg-f9.

Any suggestions? =)

with the cvs version?
I don't get that problem here. Once out in 30 shutdowns pehaps.

thanks for the update, I don't feel like fiddling around to make games work in windows 3.x, at least not until more options are available, I remember how tricky windows was to configure .... installing drivers 1 time out of 3 wouldn't work, it would then lead you to quite a surprise upon rebooting 😵 making games work with full audio/video features was also quite tricky at times
