Once virtual machine is configured, run Windows setup.Īfter setup is completed, you’ll need to install new graphics card drivers, as Windows would be running in 16 colour mode and 640×480 resolution. I’ve set it up with 512MB RAM (Windows 98 can’t handle more), 10GB dynamically allocated hard disk, and 128MB of video memory.
Virtual machine that I’m creating will run on VirtualBox, under Mac OS X.įirst step is to configure virtual machine. However, you could also use Window 95 / ME. I’ve chosen Windows 98 SE as the OS, since I already have installation media and it is a bit more modern that Windows 95.
The easiest (and cheapest) way is to set up a virtual machine running an old copy Windows. I already use DOSBox for playing old DOS games, but there are a lot of classic that only run under Windows. This weekend’s project is setting up retro gaming system for old Windows games.
