Windows95 under Recalbox

So, screenshots.
First you must open (and arrive) to the safemode window. In general, like in this case no drivers are loaded, it's working.
To change the display drivers, even in standard vga mode, go to the display advanced propreties, this is the place

Next are the device drivers that you must disable, control panel, system, device manager

With upload of w95.img, that would be legally not possible. The problem, all files are free for download, but in my installation the license code is already inside and even when you can find it everywhere, I dont want to quarrel with Microsoft, its bigger as Batocera

Thanks for the image ! I was at the wrong place to make the S3 driver installation possible. Now all will be better ! And no problem for the image upload, I can understand the legal issue.

All is fine now ! I have a usable Win95 on my Recalbox ! Now ... A killing question : How can I mount an ISO file ? (a folder with all data on it is easy)

@Cthulhus
In my dosbox.cfg I use data1 2GB

imgmount 3 data1.img -size 512,63,64,1023 -t hdd -fs none

if you mount it like this

imgmount e data1.img

you have local access and can fill it up.

Look just in dosbox.cfg, with comment and uncomment.

Mounting in 95er Billy's Club is science fiction.

I saw it but it's not possible to use a CD rom instead of a HDD? Maybe some games will need a "real" CD Rom ?

@Cthulhus
You must try it out

[Cthulhus]

@dragu ok, tests on the way with Myst for exemple. This game don't need DX

[Cthulhus]

Tested with Myst and he ask for the CD Rom at first launch.

Did someone gave "TinyWindows" a go? (win95 in 5mb)

DirectX and drivers must be added, but it should be way smaller than a normal install.

btw. i remember the old registration code for win95 - any number that can be divided by seven
