Attempting to run a Windows 95 game.

Post by Martyr609 »

HOST: Windows Vista SP1 32bit
GUEST: Windows 95
I am attempting to run the old Sierra game Stay Tooned on VirtualBox, and I run into problem after problem.
First, I couldn't even get WIN95 to boot, so I lowered the CPU and that fixed it.
Now I need to have the guest find the files on the host, even though its in the shared folders.
My network will not work on the guest, and I do not really understand how to use the Command Line tool to help me out.
Can anyone please give me step-by-step instructions on how to make my dream come true, or if I have not provided enough information, inform me of what I need to reveal and it shall be done. I've been dying to play this game for years now.

Have a look at the Tutorial Section / Windows Guest. There are Threads about WinDOS.

If the game works with XP, better try this. WinDOS is very crappy in VBOX.
