It's also impossible under Win9x with DOSBox, so if that's what you want, you might as well stop right here.

Otherwise, there is nothing more to say here that hasn't already been said in other threads that you are evidently capable of finding.

DOSBox "Next-Gen" emulator windows 98 on dosbox with 3dfx card vidéo!!!

The method described for "Windows 95" does not work for "Windows 98 Second Edition"!
I would therefore s'avoir how to install "Windows 98 Second Edition" on dosbox with 3dfx video card?
links to install "windows 98 second edition" on dosbox?

It's not supported.

How are we supposed to explain a complicated (and UNSUPPORTED, as a number of people already have pointed out) matter when you're not even capable of writing english posts without using machine translation, which produces incomprehensible results? Unlesss you're 70 years old I'm sure you had english classes in school, so go ahead and at least try making the effort.

Basically, it comes down to this: yes, DOSBox (obviously) runs Windows 98. No, it's not "officially" supported, so there are no "official" infos like written tutorials. Plus, "not supported" means you're on your own when encountering problems, unless you're very lucky. You'll have to find a kind soul to explain, if you need step-by-step instructions. Good luck.

Btw: the "3dfx voodoo chip emulation" thread you've linked to doesn't explcitly mention Win 98 SE IIRC. The YouTube video doesn't, either. Maybe SE simply doesn't work at all?

And I'm also not sure what you want specifically. Emulation of 3dfx? That's work in progress and not there for the masses.
Or do you want dosbox working with your 3dfx card? That works for direct3d but will never work for utilizing your real hardware glide support...

Windows 98 Second Edition is unsupported under any version of DOSBox.

Read this forum thread on how Windows 95 and the original release of Windows 98 can be installed in this forum thread: Windows 95 in DOSBox with 256 Colors, Sound, and CD-ROM support

In the forum thread that I linked to, robertmo clearly explained how one of the two operating systems can be installed successfully. But be warned, Windows 95 and Windows 98 installations will need to be somehow tweaked to get it to work properly; otherwise, you're out of luck.

If you want to use Windows 98 Second Edition, I suggest that you use Bochs, VMware Player, Qemu or VirtualPC.

Windows 9x is unsupported under any version of DOSBox as of 9/28/2010

That's right. This applies to Windows 9x as both the host PC and as a guest OS.

Captain obvious strikes again!!!

Hello again, how to get this ?

???Enable Direct3D Hardware Acceleration???
dosbox svn with 3dfx video card and "dosbox.conf" in detail please.

You need to compile your own build using the patches, and even then, you wouldn't want to play with it, it's still in early stages and you can't get a decent framerate.

Problem I can not compile a program source code.
Can someone give it dosbox with 3dfx video as the next frame
For Windows Vista home Premium 32 bits SP2 and / or Windows 7 home Premium 64 bits ?
Although it is a beta version that does not grave!
Thank you

No.

dosbox + 3dfx patch and installed windows just is not the best solution imho.

dosbox got very good results and compatibility with latest versions but just use dgvoogoo or nglide wrappers for windows games.

Stop using that screenshot over and over... Highly annoying... As for a dosbox with glide support, you will just hace to WAIT

Use yhkwongs o.74 build. It has the inbuilt 3dfx emulation in it. Sad thing is that its the early version of Kekkos 3dfx, so it is really slow. Also 98 keeps giving me illegal operations so it doesnt work very well. If u can (CAN; Doesnt mean it will work!) You have to install 3dfx drivers. I used grtvgr from the f1rs cd (Put them into the HD image 🤣 ) So thats download yhkwongs build (i'll attach it 😀) Install drivers get a glide game and enjoy. 😀

I've got Win98SE running Quite nicely here. Crashed every now and then, but that's windows for you.

I would say Win95 is preferable to run on DOSBox, not just because its more stable, but because it's a better option for the games & hardware the emulator can support. Win95 supports the older VXD drivers which is more compatible with DOSBox. Win98 supports WDM mostly (some older VXD won't work) and that is the cause for some of the instability.

DOSBox works better on the glass-half-empty side of 16bit vs 32bit. Win98 is more half-full towards 32-bit.
