img file with windows 95, thats all im asking, so lets talk about the image file, not powerpc. I've run it on ARM and PowerPC systems, it was. In comparison, Flash needs a Windows XP VM (or a standalone projector) with software-based rendering and that's it. Just to add that Bochs tends to be really slow even on x86 hardware, and even slower on non-x86 hardware. Those APIs and hardware needed to be emulated accurately enough or passed through. If your computer is fast enough, there will be no hardware-based problem with running Flash software.įor Windows 95, there were multiple 3D APIs other than DirectX and OpenGL, and some titles depended on hardware-based quirks. Flash provides ~1 (bar inter-version incompatibility) target platform, and as far as I know, can run entirely in software rendering mode. In my mind, it's comparable to what BSNES was to the Super Nintendo - accurate emulation that saves an entire era of software from getting lost.įlash is homogeneous and hardware-agnostic, unlike those old Windows-based titles. MacBochs: Windows 98 on OS X MacBochs with Windows 98se is an open source PC emulation project. The project should eventually allow emulation of the entire Windows 95/Windows 98 era.
It also emulates specific graphics cards (3Dfx, Trident, S3, CGA/EGA/VGA, Tandy graphics, a number of DirectX cards) and specific sound cards (AdLib, Sound Blasters, Gravis Ultrasound). It can emulate anything from the IBM PC through to Pentium II based systems.

PCem ( ) is a great improvement in the emulation of Windows 95 era hardware. Can anybody point me to a good guide for setting up PCem or 86Box on Linux I would like to install Windows 95/98/XP to run some old games.
