Is to install and run games


AmigaOS4 version of DosBox has only simple and normal CPU emulation cores, which are not compatible enough to run most Windows95 games. Your goal is impossible. Period.

If you really want to install Windows95 (and only look at its boot as it will throw at you several errors and crashes with most other uses), you should follow these steps:

1) Read documentation (mainly imgmount and boot related commands: you must setup DosBox as virtual environment booting into real filedisk based OS, Windows95 install will not run properly from the regular DosBox environment).

2) Setup filedisks (eg. 400 MB for drive c, where you copy Win95 installation files, you may also make this drive bootable with basic MS-DOS, then you don´t need another floppy filedisk for boot).

3) Boot from the filedisk (drive c or above mentioned floppy).

4) Run setup command in the Win95 installation files, follow instructions.

5) Pray AmigaOS4 version is stable and compatible enough to successfully finish this task.

6) Enjoy Win95 boot, you will be not able to do much more with it.

Where can I read the documentation? I don't see any guide on the DOSBOX drawer.

How can I setup filedisks to 400 MB? CAn you give me the commands?

How can I boot this filedisk?

I need to know some commands to make this Windows 95 installation

Win95 installation in DosBox is only for experienced users, you may read the manual here:

https://www.dosbox.com/DOSBoxManual.html

Note there is no 100 % guarantee all commands will work in the OS4 version.
