This is correct if you’re using Raspberry Pi 4’s integrated wireless LAN. These files enable NE2000 networking, with NIC 1 selected. # imgmount 0 -el-torito D -t floppy -fs none # If you have a bootable Win98 disc replace the above line with:

# This also requires that you set realnic= to a suitable value for your PC - that should be 1 for Raspberry Pi 4 wlan # If you want networking in Windows, set ne2000=true. Now exit, because we’ll be using a custom config file for our Windows 98 shenanigans.īefore we get started in earnest, set Raspberry Pi’s desktop resolution to 1280×720 under Preferences > Screen Configuration, accessible from the main menu: this improves full-screen performance under Windows 98.ĭownload our win98_nf and nf files from The MagPi GitHub and put them in your home directory.
#DOSBOX WINDOWS 3.1 SOUND INSTALL#
Sudo apt install automake libncurses-dev nasm libsdl-net1.2-dev libpcap-dev libfluidsynth-dev ffmpeg libavdevice58 libavformat-* libswscale-* libavcodec-*ĭOSBox-X should open at its Z: prompt. In this tutorial, we’ve put all our media images in our home directory, but you may wish to create dedicated CD and floppy directories to house them in. You can use another computer to image your discs and then copy them over, but if you have USB CD and floppy disk drives that play nicely with Raspberry Pi – not all do – then you can use dd in a Terminal window.ĭd bs=512 count=2880 if=/dev/sda of=win98boot.img It’s easiest to install Windows 98 from images, so we’ll want to copy both boot and install media. You’ll also need a boot floppy to run most versions of the installation disc.
#DOSBOX WINDOWS 3.1 SOUND SOFTWARE#
The Windows product key is the really important bit here as the software is useless without it: check for key stickers on your old laptop or desktop PCs. That means you’ll have to find a second-hand or unsold stock copy – eBay is a good bet for this – or rummage through your loft for old installation discs. Getting hold of Windows 98 is no longer easy as – unlike MS-DOS, or Windows 3.1 and 7 – Microsoft is no longer allowed to distribute Windows 95, 98, and Me through its Visual Studio Subscriptions program due to an intellectual property claim by Sun. To run Windows 98 software on Raspberry Pi you'll need: Be mindful of copyright when downloading image files, and only use proprietary software that you own and in accordance with the licence terms. Also check the forums, lots of helpful advice on getting your old apps to run.DOSBox is an emulator and we use it with open-source FreeDOS code. If you were considering setting up a VMWare DOS environment but don't want to go through all the fun of tweaking CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to get maximum base memory try this instead. I like the fact that you can adjust the CPU clock cycles for older games that run too fast on today's machines. It does not require virtual hard drives you simply mount a directory of your choice and assign a drive letter.įor certain games this works better than virtualization.
#DOSBOX WINDOWS 3.1 SOUND DRIVERS#
This is a stand-alone utility that has a built-in DOS command interpreter, ADLIB/SB/SBPRO/SB16/GUS et al sound drivers and VESA video. VMWare, Parallels etc require you to install DOS, all sound, CD-ROM, VESA VBE drivers yourself. This is not the same as VMWare or similar virtual machines - this is a self-contained emulator. Excellent work and a must have for legacy DOS based games and applications.
