Installing Microsoft Windows 98 in DOSBox-X

I wonder why they were never able to replicate the same level of "virtualization" they managed with Windows 3.11 / Dos while running win9x-based OSes - like mounting a folder as the root drive or a cd rom drive. I guess at that point it would become simply a clone of the wine environment while using the original os binaries instead?

Lockal · 2h ago

Just a note: this is not something new, this is well-explored, you can even run Windows 98 in the web version of DOSBox-X - see https://github.com/nbarkhina/doswasmx?tab=readme-ov-file#ins...

The software is very impressive...

But I think could do with usability improvements, for example typing 'dosbox win98.iso' at a prompt should end up with me at the win98 desktop.

All the config should be auto detected and auto set unless overridden.

vintagedave · 1h ago

While I completely agree with you -- that's what I would want too, I want Win98 without the pain, click or type and it's there, it's a very 2025 expectation -- I laughed because of the huge disparity between this and what installing DOS and Windows were really like. Part of the experience is selecting drivers and configuration :D (Even better in DOS with the IRQs and config.sys and whatnot.)

PCem does it relatively pain free; also emulates voodoo 2 so you can play GPU accelerated games on it. The network is pig-slow and i haven't figured out why, though. All in all PCem is the exact amount of jank and awesome to use for retro-emulation.

it emulates ~8086 through Pentium II or so. maybe a bit further on both sides; my machine struggled to maintain 100% emulation speed with the highest end CPU selected.

keepamovin · 1h ago

I agree with that, but then I tried the setup, and i found it was straightforward.

playing with it gives you a sense of mastery (even if small), is satisfying, and may be the necessary "training" to get used to using/installing/configuring the full windows 98.

How is it even doing this? A full DOS/Windows 9x environment—running on an M1 Mac?? On so many architectures and OSes? With a ton of options, yet somehow everything just works—games, operating systems, all of it. Like a time machine you can configure. Seriously cool

i got windows 98 networking working (on macos needs sudo dosbox-x) and browsed google from ie 5. most websites will not work (due to TLS/cipher mismatch).

i want to write a very thin, old JS client for BrowserBox to let you connect to bbx running on local network so that old OS like this can browse the modern web.
