Hi, i Just managed to make W98 run in DosBox, but i need to know what can of VGA driver can i install for be able to change resolution to 320x240x16 ( i will use it in mi PPC with DosBox 6.2 SVC ).

You could try QuickRes.

98 has never been very stable in DOSBox so unless you modified DOSBox yourself I wouldn't expect much from it.

Straight CVS 95B is the most stable.

I don't think Windows 9x works in 0.63 although I could be wrong.

Yes, it's still an S3 Trio.

Also I think with plain CVS I've only ever been able to get 256 colors. Not sure if this is true with the latest CVS.

Would have been an interesting way to get Win9x/ME games working in XP. 😀

I've installed Windows 98 by using QEMU. Works fine.

That's the true way.

If you trust Microsoft you could also try Virtual PC 2007:

Quick guide to install Windows 9x in Any DosBox Version.

You have to use a Hard disk image to propelly boot win95/98
to do it you have to create your Hard disk image, useing a bochs utility (bximage.exe).
Imput hd flat (size) and then note the Cylis numer ( for 50Mb HH is 101)

Load the image like this:

1)Boot a normal DosBox (disable all memory extensions)

2)imgmount 2 win98.img -size 512,63,16,406 -fs none ( note that the 406 are the cylinders you get when creating the image in bochs utility)

3)Donload and Dos 6.22 disk image and load it after mounting the img like this:

boot DOS622.img

4)After booting, run Fdisk and hit y and Intro to create a Primary dos Partition. Cloes DosBox and reopen

5) Now reload your .img like this:

imgmmount c win98.img -size 512,63,16,406 -fs fat (now use fat and specify a drive letter)

6) Boot again the 6.22 bootdisk image, then do a format C: /s .Restar DosBox.

7)Load the 98/95 image again (like in step 5) without booting the imagedisk and copy your win98/95 install files and copy them into the new HHD image in C.

8)After you copied the win instalation, boot the DOS6.22 image for example) then run your windows installation normally.

9)When system restarts close your dosbox, then use this:

imgmmount c win98.img -size 512,63,16,406 -fs fat
boot -l c

This will boot your windows

or simply do boot win98.img

Then you can add to your DosBox Autoexec.bat this lines and it will Boot automatically ^^

Remember to disable the XMS and other memory extension from DosBox, or windows won't boot ( becouse windows loads it ows memory drivers)

Srry about my english!! Lol... I'm From Argentina.

Its a Quick Quick guide, may have errors, my apologizes..Hope this works for Those who doesn't kwnow how to make it work..
