0.73 = likely invalid opcode xD

1+1=10

I always thought that Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.5 wouldn't work under DOSBOX 0.73.

it does but in more ways than one can count it doesn't. It's not really useable. It's like having a car with no motor on it on top of a hill. Sure you can get to the bottom with the car but you might get hurt doing that 😀

I wasn't running it on dosbox, but on a real PC.

ppgrainbow clearly answered to my post 😀

who wrote that I tried that on a powerfull PC? When I tried that my PC wasn't that powerfull so it DOES count, especially when you count in the many things that don't work well on Windows 95 on Dosbox 😀

dosbox emulates Pentium instructions so it is powerful from definition 😉

Oh, really? I didn't know that.

I'm running Windows 95 OSR 2 under VMware Player 3. The size of the hard disk image is 4 GB (almost 4.3 GB decimal) and I allocated 64 MB of memory. I was planning on trying out Windows 95 OSR 2 under Bochs, but the product isn't too great. I'm hoping that I can find ways to get the OS to work under Bochs, ya know. 🙁

I recall running that operating system on a 100 MHz Pentium, but with only 32 MB of memory about a decade ago.
