Now that I have downloaded Windows 98 SE: Can you point me to wich commands shall I use on DosBox to boot and install from a supported CD or image mounted with DiskImageGUI?

First, if you aren´t a masochist, don´t try install Windows 9x under DosBox, use normal virtual machine like QEMU under Linux (or Windows PC).

Second, Windows 98 SE will probably not even run under DosBox/OS4 - I was able to boot the OS with some voodoo, but even opening basic apps leads to crash.

As I wrote, even Windows 95 is not useable under DosBox/OS4. Some applications may run, but certainly not these you want to use...

@pavlor

I dont know but dos games run without issue inside Dosbox windows 95 . I dont try too much just because qemu is more faster than dosbox . some one in machintosh community is working for have qemu with 3dfx patch took form dosbox :P i hope will work on ppc too!

Kemu on x86 is much slower than Dosbox because doesn't support KVM acceleration like PPC version.
I can play to Gorky17 quite well on my Windows 98 that run in DOSBox.
And many other big games and big software.

Of course more power is the cpu more performance you have.

AmigaOS 4 is much slower than Linux, and OS4 hasn't optimized software like Linux PPC.
So Linux Kemu and Linux Dosbox are so much better than any porting on OS4

Dosbox on X86 have the dynamic recompiling on fpu too plus many asm optimization on ppc not is only interpretative. dosbox is better on X86 .

Plain QEMU and plain DosBox (dynamic CPU core) are as fast on x86.

@pavlor

Does it exists QUEMU on AOS4?

I repeat and insists what commands to run a CD or virtual Image of Windows 98 on DosBox?

Thank you

NO.

IMGMOUNT d NameOfYourIso.iso -t iso

This will mount iso file "NameOfYourIso.iso" in your DosBox directory as CD-ROM in drive d.

You may consult DosBox documentation:

@Thread

Rebuying them on GOG is far easier and a lot of the best old games sell for a couple of quid during sales! PC or Mac though Thimbleweed Park also looks good

Where do you think I got nearly all my DOS games for DosBox?
