Windows 95 Dosbox Turbo Download Application
Thanks for any help. I had that game called 'Fallout'. An awesome game from 1997. It also had a patch 1.1 and a dos version. I could play the game on my computer after working with the config and stuff.
DosBox Turbo: Android app (4.3 ★, 100,000+ downloads) → Fastest DOS/Windows 9x emulator for Android. Play DOS & Windows games. A highly optimized and feature enhanced.
But I wanted to show how cool this game actually is to my 'non geek' friends. I thought about using iDos application (which uses DosBox) to run the dos version of the game.
Dosbox Windows 7 Download
The problem I got was the game freezing a lot, the app crashing. Not loading at all. I got the game to work after 2 days of research. But the graphics were really glitchy and the sound was gone. (And sound = atmosphere of the game, the experience) I couldn't enjoy the game without sound. So i thought about installing windows through iDos.
I googled and found out that i can install windows 3, windows 95, windows 98 or windows me. I don't know why, but i downloaded an.img file of windows 98. It took me a good 5 hours to get it to work.
After doing that i tried to connect a 'fake disk' to windows 98. But I failed. So i used an app called WinImage to open up the files in.img file. Then i added the fallout setup files. After that I used iDos to boot windows. Installed fallout on the img using iDos.
Then when i tried booting the game i got a message that the game can only run in windows 95. I downloaded windows 95 and deleted 98. I was faster this time, got it to work in under 10 minutes! Nice, isn't it?
I installed fallout again. It told me to download directx 3.0 or higher. So i downloaded directx 6.1 and installed.
The install also asked me if i wanted to install a driver. I said 'yes'.
Run Windows 95 In Dosbox
But then the whole windows crashed. I reinstalled everything and said 'no' this time.
Everything is going well. I tried to boot the game now.
It came up with a warning: This app needs to be run with 256 color or higher. Or something like that. Anyway i then looked up at the control panel, to display.
I only had 16 color or monochrome. And the display was only 640x480. I googled a lot to find a working win95a graphic driver. I installed it. It got installed well.
Then i chose new graphics card adaptor. The new driver of course! (Still going well) Checked the control panel, display. The 256 color, truecolor(32) and 16 bit color options were unlocked.
I chose 256 of course. After chosing 256 color the display option popped. Now I could slide from 480 to 1024. Great, right? Though I kept it at 480 and just chose 256 color. I clicked apply.
But windows warned me that i need to restart in order to apply changes. Which closes the iDos application. I reopened the iDos and booted windows 95 again.
I didn't notice anything different. I checked display settings again.
And it was still 16 color with 256 color and such unlucked. But whenever I choose them it tells me to restart and closes the app. I googled more and found that dosbox doesn't support 256 color. But I also found that some people got it to work. Just the files were old and deleted. So I couldn't download.
But I am so close. I can't stop yet. If anyone can help me get past this problem, thanks. Problem: Can't set 256 color without restarting. And when i restart it is back to 16 color. Is there a way to boot it always 256 color maybe?
