      I have seen multiple threads about getting windows 3.1 to work on retropie through dosbox. I haven't been able to find a good tutorial though. Anybody that has this working properly mind sharing how they did it or linking the tutorial they used?

        @quicksilver I have read this guide:
        https://www.howtogeek.com/230359/how-to-install-windows-3.1-in-dosbox-set-up-drivers-and-play-16-bit-games/
        I used it to play "You don't know Jack".

        I only changed some path directions and automount an iso-image with a bat-file.

        I changed "+Start DOSBox.sh".
        In my case:

        params=(-c "@MOUNT C /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/HD" -c "@C:")
        

        My *.bat file to mount the iso-image and to start windows:

        Z:
        IMGMOUNT E "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/CDS/YDKJ.iso" -t iso
        C:
        cd ..
        cd windows
        win
        

        I have two different directories in "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc":
        One as a hd-drive (/HD) and one for the cd-images (/CDS)

        Linux is like wigwam: no Gates, no Windows and Apache inside.
