In case if you haven't heard, someone decided to port Dosbox to the iPhone, and I decided to try to run Windows 95 in it. True Facts: -iDOS was pulled from the App Store within 24 hours for two reasons. One: It included the games Ms. Pacman and Dig Dug, which both sell in the App Store. Two: You could mount the iPhone filesystem from within iDOS. -This was recorded using a combination of Veency (VNC server for iPhone) and Camtasia -The PC speaker is emulated as well -iDOS isn't the first x86 emulator to be ported to the iPhone.
How to Install Windows 95. Windows 95 is a closed source operating system aimed at home users. It was released 15th August 1995 but support ended for it 31st December 2001. It was a major improvement over Windows 3.1. For example, it's.
Bochs was ported several months ago, but lacked a keyboard and right-clicking.
Installing Windows 95 & 98 Installing Windows 95, Windows 95r2 or Windows 98 I've discovered that many people don't really have a 'Good' way of installing Windows 95, Windows 95 release 2, or Windows 98. Here's my attempt to rectify that situation!
Interestingly, the basic process is pretty much the same for all versions. I will refer to all these packages as Windows 9x. Individual details I'll mention when appropriate.
These instructions assume a CD-ROM on the installation machine. But I don't HAVE a CD-ROM Get one. I won't help you if you don't have a CD-ROM on a Windows 95 machine. CD-ROMs are very cheap now, and my time is not. Step 1: Start from a clean computer. Don't do upgrades.
After a few experiences, I won't waste my time trying to fix a Windows Upgrade. It works sometimes.
Perhaps even often. However, nowhere near enough to be worth subjecting yourself to the problems. And, even if it works initially, all the garbage from older versions of Windows will give you nightmares some day. But I only have the UPGRADE version of Windows 9x!! Microsoft, in their infinite monop.er.wisdom has decided to only sell Windows 95 as an Upgrade to consumers. You would think they had learned this doesn't work properly with Windows 95.
The good news is the Upgrade versions only ask you to PROVE that you have the old version, you don't have to INSTALL the old version of the software. Windows 95 Upgrade will ask you to insert Disk 1. I understand the Windows 98 upgrade does something else, not sure what, but I understand it is more unpleasant. Now, inspite of the official ban against selling full OEM versions to end users, many, many small computer stores will HAPPILY sell you a copy of Windows 9x OEM. I will not name any names.
But if you see a small hole-in-the-wall computer store, odds are they will sell it to you. Forget the big places, though. Another reason to avoid the Windows 95 upgrade: It is only available in the origional release. This means if you want anything cool from Release 2 (OSR2 as some people call it, Release B as others call it), you HAVE to go through less than legitimate channels.
