One last, useful hint : for exchanging files from/to the host on the Pi, I recommend mounting the virtual disk on a loopback device like so :ġ- Important! ensure your DOSbox is closed, NOT RUNNING !Ģ- in terminal, use following commands (adjusting for path/name of your own disk image)Ĭode: Select all # NimbUx's sample nf : for running Windows 95-original in DOSBox (0.74.2) No OSR2, no Win98, no internet-inegrated desktop nonsense should ever touch this 'virtual' machine if you want stability, please ! You won't be networking it anyway :=)

Don't try to fetch and install 'updates' with ONE exception : get the 'common controls' update (comm32upd.exe) that is really needed by many applications - and easily found, e.g.

I shall not explain how to install and set-up Windows 95 in this DOS-Box, far off topic here, plus there are ample online tutos and guides - I will just insist on a point : to get a satisfying experience, keep to Windows 95 original edition. Sun 11:08 pmYes, please go ahead and post your configuration file.OK, here is a good working config file for Windows 95 (original) leaving only the options I settled on (for brevity).

Running x86 on a Raspberry Pi is generally a great disappointment. My passwords have migrated from Keyring (PalmPilot, c.2003) to 1Password (Mac only, c.2007) to KeePass with little hassle.

It has thoughtful peer-reviewed security, so you could keep your password file on a cloud service so it's with you everywhere. You could replace that with the package keepass2, aka KeePass Password Safe. For instance, Keymaker - I'm pretty sure the encryption it uses to hold its password data won't be state of the art since it hasn't been updated since 2003, and the only version I found online appeared to contain a malicious keylogger. Maybe start a new thread listing the apps you need and other people might be able to suggest some. There are a mess of forks that support additional features for applications, but a) finding them, b) translating the docs (some of the cooler ones are from Japan) and c) actually getting them to compile, let alone run, on a Raspberry Pi is a major feat. Also, the dosbox developers do not support (and actively shut down requests for help with) running applications. You might be able to get Windows 3.1 running under dosbox, but it's quite a bit of work just to get the thing booted. … I've been looking for a **simple** as possible way to run a handful Wind*ws apps … Can you please point to up-to-date, working, instructions - even better would be an installable package for automatic installation in Rasbian but I guess there isn't such a thing. I've just downloaded and tried 'RPIX86' which you touted but it won't run, telling something like 'can't install service, maybe running already?'. Win 3 real or std mode under DOSBOX ? Where IS 'FastDOSbox' nowadays, would it work ? DOSEmu ? Nothing fancy, no gaming here (ever!) - I've been browsing this (and more) threads, WHAT IS BEST, EASIEST way under the current Raspbian 32 ?

Hi ! In order to at last be able to ditch my Wind*ws desktop puter (or at least, relegate it to the cup-board) I've been looking for a **simple** as possible way to run a handful Wind*ws apps (albeit even limited Wind*w3/Win16) that I **need** at hand (= have no available source and no Linux counterpart e.g, the password generator 'keymaker' I've been using for years so I can't live without). At this time I'd say those interested in x86 programs on the Pi are best off sticking to DOSBox, rpix86, or ptitSeb's Box86. You can get some mileage out of command-line programs like cmd.exe or PowerShell, but these run on Wine-ARM too (just: sudo apt install wine) or DOSBox so what's the point.
