12/27/2023 0 Comments Dosbox windows 3.1 sound buzzing![]() I have plenty of old hard drives knocking around from 40GB IDE to 500GB SATA, I also have an unwise amount of IDE optical drives ranging from CD only to DVD multi-writers, at the last count I think I had 10 5.25" ones and 3 or 4 laptop ones. It works well and it's permanently set-up in my spare room even though I rarely use it now that i've got my "gaming" laptop which fulfils the same purpose. My mate likes to play Red Alert 2 against me so I have it connected by an ethernet cable to my Mum's old Belkin router and I disconnect my PC from the internet and connect to it so we can have a multiplayer session. The Pentium 4 PC is my XP gaming PC and it's from about 2004/5, 98 drivers exist for it and more importantly it has both PATA (aka IDE) and SATA on the motherboard (though it doesn't have SATA on the power supply but I do have some adaptors for that). I only have real hardware just because I was gifted it, I regret getting rid of the fist PC I bought when I moved out but I gave it to a mate who then gave it to another friend at which point it was practically vintage, it had a less than 1Ghz CPU, I think it was a Pentium 3, I also had a 1GHz PC that was my ex-girlfrends, i can t recall where it went but I still have the Sound Blaster Live! from it, it's currently in my Pentium 4 XP machine. I have tried installing Resident Evil in a VM but it doesn't work, there are workarounds that work on real hardware but not in a VM. I recommend PCem Youtube has plenty of tutorials for setting up PCem for Win 98 There are ways to get Win 9x running on DOSbox, but it's kind of a novelty. But there can be compatibility issues, which means you may need an emulator You may not need an emulator at all try simply running the CD installers from Windows, no DOSbox. Modern Windows traces is roots back to to the earliest forays into 32-bit, so a lot of software from the Win 9x days will still run on modern versions of Windows. However, there may be a simpler solution. DOSbox is really intended for older programs than the ones you're trying to run, primarily 1980s to mid-1990s. So games that require Win 95 won't run on Win 3.1. They're also substantially different in architecture– 95 is 32-bit, while 3.1 was 16-bit. Win 95 was the followup to Win 3.1 they're two different systems. Why does the video have me download windows 3.1 and not 95? Are they the same?
