This is not necessary a Apple/Mac problem, because there are a number of other third party applications that can run programs that run in 256 color mode properly, including: Windows XP, 98, 95 with VMware tools installed cannot enable or use 256 color depths, screen goes black, virtual machine becomes unusable, eventhough it is a display option. If the older operating system is supported, so should be some of the required color depths. Yes, I know that these are "ancient" operating systems, doesn't mean I don't have some older software, or archiving, or games I wish to run off them. On many macs, especially macbooks, there is no option for 256 colors, as this support has been removed by apple. I know that this has already been mentioned here, and I have already sent this in as a product enhancement request, in this case fixing the bug.

Offhand, it looks like there's also a patch for the Windows version of Ecco the Dolphin at.

They still sell it on Steam, after all.Īs for Sega's PC games, they were so varied that I kind of doubt you've tried them all. There are also plenty of other older DirectX games that do cooperate with Windows 7.Īnd I'm sure there's got to be a patch of some sort for Dark Forces II. Yes, there are some specific games that do not run under Windows 7, but the reasons are varied and complex and often have nothing to do with the fact that they use an older version of DirectX. You pretty much need Windows 95/98/Me to play a lot of those games. It's just a pain to get many older DirectX games to work in modern Windows. Klingon Honor Guard doesn't work with crap for me in Windows 7 either, although I can run it in Windows XP Mode. Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is horrible under Windows 7 圆4 on my computer, and completely unplayable in Windows XP Mode because the mouse goes crazy (impossible to aim). I'm just politely, respectfully asking for All Sega PC games are unplayable on Windows NT-based operating systems (although there is a patch for Sonic CD). I also don't expect the devs to support Windows 95. I understand that DOSBox is for playing DOS games, not running Windows 95.

Has anyone successfully managed to get 256 or more colors in Windows 95 in DOSBox?įinally, let me say that I come in peace.

I also tried to install Scitech Display Driver 7.0.0.340 Beta, but it dies with an illegal operation message.

I have tried installing the various S3 drivers that come with Windows 95, as well as legacy drivers from S3's website, without success. I have no trouble installing SoundBlaster 16 sound in DOSBox, but video is limited to 16 colors. Success! Years of effort have finally been rewarded! Installation in DOSBox still fails at the very end of the installation process, but I was able to install it in Bochs, and I was able to boot the image in DOSBox by adding the line "device emm386.exe frame=e000" in config.sys, per wd's advice. Today, with great joy, I acquired the original Windows 95 installation CD. Those who claimed to be running Windows 95 in DOSBox seemed to indicate that only Windows 95A could run in DOSBox, whereas I had only Windows 95B and C. Installation in DOSBox would always fail, and Win95 images created in other emulators would never load. I tried to get Windows 95 to work in DOSBox for several years without success. I hate to create a new thread, but the most appropriate thread to bump ( Windows 95 in DOSBox with 256 Colors, Sound, and CD-ROM support) was locked.
