      Re: Old Windows games emulator I'm getting ready to make an ISO from my Windows 95 cd and try installing it under DOSBOX to run some older Windows / DOS games. Has anyone tried this yet? Would be interested in any words of wisdom. I see that Windows 95 is supported in DOSBOX, not sure if it will work on the RPi version. I'll share my results when I get time to give it a go.

        This sounds keen, but I won't be fully impressed until I see someone running Microsoft Bob.

          @wmcclelion Good luck. Perhaps that helps you :) I think the chances to get a core Win95 on RPi is possible. Why not to try ReactOS? It has a much smaller footprint and is a "copy" of Win NT

              @wmcclelion Curious how this went for you. Looking at doing it myself.

                @wmcclelion it's not actually straight supported. You have to use a program that i can no longer find on the net as the website is gone to create a windows 95 hard drive image. There is a whole tutorial on it.
