Hmm. Not having much luck getting Windows 98 set up in 86Box. 🙁 It complains the CPU is unworkable or has been changed. And every time I try to boot from the 98 disc image, it just says Disk Boot Failure. I've tried playing with the different controllers, but nothing seems to work. I can't even access FDISK or it doesn't believe it exists.

OS: Windows 98 SE
CPU: Slot 1 Pentium III Coppermine 933MHz (SL448)
RAM: Kingston 256MB 133MHz
GPU: Nvidia 16MB Riva TNT

HDD: 30GB - IDE 3; 40GB - IDE 3; 80GB - IDE 4

Check PhilsComputerLabs latest video. It might help.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I've also installed PCem to try if it fails.

Everything's set up and good to go with 86Box. Now to test the game's installer and see what happens.

Bingo. Okay, so it does indeed do the same thing on 86Box with 256MB RAM. I lowered it down to 16MB and the error goes away. 😁 So yeah, like I said previously, I would have to look at swapping out the RAM for something much lower. I'll see how high I can take the RAM first before the error comes back. And I'll try installing it with the bare minimum RAM and then see if the game can be played with 256 again.

Only problem I'm having now is getting past this error when trying to play it...
