I followed this tutorial assuming the best tutorial thread for win95 emulation

but every time i start win windows it keeps loading only and after 3-4 min the screen goes black and nothing happened

i tried both .img files w95.img and w98.img but same happened in both cases can you plz help me out

i dont think i am missing or doing wrong as far as the tutorial thread is concern (i may be wrong)

if you cannot help me at least tell me have you ever boot windows 95 or 98 on your N900 ?
and what was the file size of your w95.img and w98.img ?

looks like no one is here!!!!!!!!!

have you tried the images with dosbox on a desktop pc?

windows on dosbox is slow even on a core i7, i can only imagine how slow it would be on n900. I would not be suprised if it take 20 minutes or more to boot on n900.

i have not tried on my desktop pc.
and you say "windows on dosbox is slow even on a core i7, i can only imagine how slow it would be on n900"

have you tried it on N900? if not

can anyone confirm his words plz?

and if you have tried plz tell me how much time it will take?

According to the original post it is supposed to be reasonably quick.
I wonder how "Quick" is defined in this context. In my experience on a Core i7 DOSBox is somewhat usable to emulate first gen windows 9x games (designed for 486 and low-range Pentium 1). But please note that DOSBox can only use 1 core, so you are not taking advantage of most of the Core i7 performance features.

You really should first verify that the images work (by trying on a desktop computer). Also you should replace the images with the original ones after a unsuccessful try on the N900. These harddrive images are not read-only and they tend to get corrupted very easily in DOSBox. I have experienced that myself a lot of times when experimenting with DOSBox on the Desktop. (DOSBox is not designed for windows 9x, and has a LOT of issues when trying to do so)

I would try downloading your win.img files from a different source maybe?

My previous installations have all been successful with boot times of around 3 - 5 mins depending on how tweaked the cycles have been in the .conf file and the n900s OC.

you may also want to disable the sound too, as earlier builds of Dosbox did not like that and the last I looked, sound was an experimental feature.

I eventually settled for just win95 and the file size was around 50mb, maybe a little more.

Wish I could be of some more use to you here mate, but have recently just had to flash my n900 and have lost my .conf file. It would have helped you.
