Re: Windows 3.1 Must Have Software -

Posted on 2024-04-22, 16:47

Well this thread made me wax nostalgic. All the other software recommendations are good but for me a must-have when I had Windows 3.1 was HP's Dashboard, a Program Manager replacement. https://i.postimg.cc/15nwZQdb/Screenshot-from-2024-04-22-12-08-40.png It was a start menu style launcher before it …

Actually Windows XP can still be activated without cracks or phone activation. https://www.xpforums.com/threads/windows-xp-activation-algorithm-cracked.934798/#post-3270414 Lots of shady sellers on Ebay so if you want to make sure your copy of XP is genuine you're better off buying a Dell/HP etc. PC …

Re: Doing a custom machine with 86Box

Duh, I missed that your are on MAC. 86Box can be used with different VMs by specifying it in the command line: 86Box -C config.cfg or 86Box -P path/to/vm The default name for the config is CONFIG.CFG but you could rename it so you could multiple configs and launch the one of your choice. This is how …

That's not possible, you are restricted to the ones included. It's quite a huge list, you can probably find something very close to your target machine. There's no way to switch machines, you need to use a manager such as Winbox. https://github.com/86Box/WinBox-for-86Box

Re: Using pcem with a XP guest

Not to hijack this thread but I decided to try 86Box with XP. It has more options for CPU such as Pentium II XEON, 100MB NIC and no 512MB RAM limit. PCEM9.png For some reason XP picked up the XEON as a Celeron but there is defintely a difference in performance especially the extra RAM and fast …

Since you mentioned WinVice.. I have fond memories of running SNES9x on that Pentium MMX 166 w/ XP. Frame skip was on auto, I believe. Still, Tiny Toons Adventures ran smoothly. It was really fun, thanks to XP. Btw, the memory settings aren't ideal. Please try 768 MB instead of 512 MB. SP2 is a bit …

XP is doable in PCEM but not recommended for optimal experience. Here is how I setup PCEM 17 to run XP: 512 MB 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 Fast VLB/PCI Voodoo Graphics box ticked Ensoniq AudioPCI (ES1371) Standard IDE Network card: RTL8029AS PCEM1.png Performance is not great. Dxdiag successfully completes …

Re: Windows XP how much people still use for MAIN OS?

Posted on 2022-11-21, 20:27

I was using XP as my main OS till about 2 years ago. Main reason I switched was lack of modern browsers. The available Mozilla browsers are woefully outdated and the chrome ports (360Chrome) do a better job but are glitchy and lack DRM support. I find XP runs remarkably well on a modern Windows 10 …
