DOSBox is a DOS emulator - a emulator for DOS games, to be precise. The fact that Windows 3.x and 9x do run in DOSBox is more of a bonus, i'd say. DOSBox is not (yet?) optimized for these OS's. You could try one of the many others emulators/virtualizers, like Qemu, VMWare, etc. .

and why do games seem to run better in windows 3.1 and 95?

Better than what? The question makes no sense.

No low-level cdrom driver access (atapi).
