Nice. Will have to see what is now better supported.

has anybody tried installing Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 in DOSbox?
I did it with 3.1 for a laugh and was surprised that it worked.

I've not, but it is a pretty cool emulator. Have any of you tried the DoxBox frontend D-Fend Reloaded (http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/)? DC and myself run it and think it is great.

I always use D-Fend (and D-Fend Reloaded once the original D-Fend ceased development). It's such a nice and friendly way to set it all up. Not more messing about with CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files :D

AFAIK Windows 95 is also installable, I remember reading about it a few months ago on the previous version.
People even managed to make it run Glide games with acceleration, though I don't remember the details...

Really? I would love to setup Win 95 with glide to get some of the classics like Unreal going again. Although, I do actually still have a P2 400 with a Voodoo 2 installed so have the real thing. :)

And for most OSs I think a proper virtual machine like VirtualBox is a better solution.

True, DosBox will never beat VMware or VirtualBox when it comes to newer-then-win3.1 os's, but, you know, just for fun... ;)
I'll ask the guy who sent me the link to that forum about installing W95 on it.

Btw, a DOSBox version has been released for the Dingoo lately, didn't test it yet though.
