Official DOSBox does not support Win95.

Well, any other idea how I can play a Windows 95 game under Windows 7 64 bit? I really tried a lot already and slowly getting crazy because nothing works!

Try a VM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_p … zation_software

Well, I did already, I have a Windows 95 in Virtual PC 2007 and it's running. But: The game I want to play there is running much to fast and crashing after about a minute. That's because the processor of Windows 7 is much too fast for that old game. So I downloadad dxwnd to slow it down over there but Windows 95 is too silly to run that program as well. This is already the fifth or sixth forum I signed in only because of this problem I'm having since January 10th 2015, and nobody was able to help me so far. Now the question I asked a thousand times before: Any other ideas? Or which of those VMs might be the best for me then?

Greetings, TG

As others will probably quickly jump in and say, you can forget dosbox for playing win95 games with stability.
Another VM or emulation solution is the way to go. Sorry, no specific proposals since I'm not using VM's for gaming, I use a lot VirtualBox which is free and runs nicely OS' but have no clue how it performs in games.

btw, which game are you trying to play? Many of those with some tweaking can be played directly from within win7. Not all of them of course, but maybe you are lucky and save yourself from all these.

Virtual Box is not possible for me, I had already installed that, but it destroyed my VMLite XP Mode, which I need for another game. The game I want to play is called "Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing" and was published in 1995 by Mindscape.

Out of all the VMs I looked at, it seems like none of them support any kind of hardware acceleration for Win9x. For XP, sure, but not Win9x. Or more accurately, none of them seem to have Win9x drivers to support hardware accelerated graphics.

If you want to play DOS games, you use DOSBox. If you want to play games that run on XP, but not Win7/8, you use a VM. You want to play games that only run in Win9x and need hardware accelerated graphics? You're SOL.

"The processor of Windows 7", whatever that means, is generally not a factor in anything running in a virtual machine.

Did you bother asking specifically about "Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing" on all those other forums?

This game appears to be written for Windows 3.1. It is much, much easier to get Windows 3.1 running in a stable fashion in DOSBox. You should try that instead.

Now I installed a virtual Windows 3.11 without any problems. I wanted to start the game and then a window popped up and said something like "This software only supports 256 color mode." So I've downloaded the S3 graphics driver. This tutorial is nearly perfect. http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/Emulators … icsDrivers.html But: When I'm typing C:\S3 a window appears telling me "Setup cannot find OEMSETUP.INF Please type a new path to the OEMSETUP.INF file." Then I tried many many of different paths, because the path might be different for me, but the problem seems to be somewhere else. But I can't understand it, I did everything just like in the description. Getting errors that noboy else have really makes me crazy. Any idea what I did wrong then? You're my last hope again.

If it's anything like this guide, then you need to specify C:\DRIVERS\S3.

What folder are you mounting when you run Windows 3.1 in DOSBox, and where did you unzip the S3 drivers?

The C:\S3 in that guide is just an example and only valid if you happen to use that path when you follow the instructions of "unzip into a subfolder..."
If you had followed my guide... 😉

Well, where has the subfolder be located? Doesn't it matter or has to be it somewhere special? Yeah I thought already that my mistake might be there.

As long as you can specify the correct folder in DOSBox, it can be anywhere you like. If you mounted C:\whatever as drive C when you started DOSBox, then you can unzip the drivers to C:\whatever\S3 and then specifying C:\S3 will work in Windows Setup.

It's like I just said: What folder are you mounting when you run Windows 3.1 in DOSBox, and where did you unzip the S3 drivers?

Seriously, follow my guide OR read the whole guide on sierrahelp, the special long section of installing drivers might help. It's all written there, you just need to read it.
If that doesn't help give details of your mountings, where you extracted the drivers to, etc.

Well, I think it's time for me to switch back to another forum, because I'm using Virtual PC 2007. 😎 That's the only VM working for me, I'm sorry, Dosbox might be great as well. But thanks for your help. 😀

Maybe if you stuck around and worked on your problem you wouldn't have to sign on somewhere else?

Yup, seems you'd rather play it too fast then follow almost simple instructions. Your choice 😉

Dosbox is much more complicated to install then Virtual PC is. And I was sign in there already before I signed in here, so let me go please.

Huh? Dosbox is easy as pie and much more gaming compatible. But of course you can go, how could I hold you back.😉
