After succesfully taking on Windows 3.1x I thought, why not try how far you can get with Windows 95.
I found an old version, probably 95a or b and installed it on a bootimage. Installation went kind of well, only crashed a couple of times on the hardware recognition. After about 5 dosbox reboots and using the safe recovery option it finally went beyond the hardware stuff and installed Windows 95 on the hdd image (veeeeeeeeeeeery sloooooowly).
But Windows 95 will not start up after that.
With core set to simple or normal Dosbox gave the error:
exit to error: CPU:GRP5:Illegal Call 7
and the bootlog.txt said in its last two lines:
[0002C0C3] Loading Vxd = EBIOS
[0002C0C3] LoadFailed = EBIOS
dynamic core crashed with fatal signal (not much else to see since it crashed good). Bootlog said the same as above.
Full core loads and loads and loads. I'll let it run a bit to see if it ever gets anywhere. But it's probably not doing anything besides taking up my CPU cycles.
I'm not really requesting help. I just tried that out of curiosity but didn't really expect it to work.
