^This is why I'm leaning more towards actually building a Windows 95/98 system from old parts. I can assure you it's hideous looking at standard VGA on a big 50 inch 4K monitor !!! That's what you will get if you don't install vmware tools or vbox additions (might be called Oracle virtual box additions these days)." ![]() "Incidentally if installing under VMware or Vbox remember to install the VMWare tools or VBOX additions to the guest after first logon - windows 98 / 95 won't know anything about HDMI / 1080p/ 4k Ultra HD size monitors - that's what the virtual video driver will do - plus better control for sound, mouse, networking and some other enhancements. Find the hardware needed to build a Windows 95/98 machine. Use VMWare/VBox to try to get Windows 95/98 goingĢ. Which of these two paths do you suggest I pursue more than the other?ġ. That means I either need to get a VM working or that I need to actually build a Windows 95/98 computer. That will run partly, but it won't work for the SETUP.EXE I need to run for the game to work.

I find HYPER-V best for bog standard VM's where basic server or simple file sharing required - for messing around with eseoteric hard/software then (sorry kari) it's not the best choice. VMWare will also Virtualize Win95 Win98 and even Win3.11 (windows for workgroups) as will VBOX.Īctually I think for adding / manipulating hardware to VM's such as various sorts of USB devices / joysticks etc I think you are better off using VMWare or VBox - or if a Linux user and you want something akin to HYPER-V then try Linux's hypervisors XEN and / or KVM.
