There is no goal for 9x compatibility. Not saying it will not happen, mabye it will mabye it won't. But 9x compatibility is not a DosBox goal as of yet.

Dosbox is supposed to support windows 3.0 but how did you get windows 3.0 running. Then what are the dosbox creators doing. Windows 3.1 and windows 3.0 are supported so that helps on running windows programs before 1995. Windows 3.0 can run all of the previous windows programs. Windows 3.1 lacked earlier windows support but with windows 3.1 and windows 3.0 and dos support almost perfect what else is their to do. Protected mode games finally run at good speed.

What else is there to do?

Increased DOS GAME compatibility.
More features.
Possibly DOS application support.

That's plenty enough right there.

What are you going to add dosbox word or dosbox paint or something. The dos support is pretty much complete. Doesn't dosbox already support dos applications. You should try to get the fifa games supported.

Could you try being a little more specific with the subject line of your topics?

and there is always the possible upcoming feature of instant world peace through dosbox. I'd even pay for that 😀

Seriously, look at Dosfreak's signature and go to the Dosbox Wish List to see things people would like to have before Win9x support and world peace.

I guess making dosbox (look at the name:"DOS"... (!)) win9x compatible might cause significant regresses to its dos-compatibilty. Therefore: If it happens by accident, ok, but if not, so what.

P.S.: wd is right about this "subject thing".

How do you run windows 3.0 on dosbox. Dosbox should try to support all of the msdos commands. Try to get microcosm and the fifa games running and i am happy.
