If anyone else has built DOSBox Windows 95 and figured out how to make it work then please let me know how. DOSBox Win 95 does not read external cd's so come programs such as Shredder 5, and several more I have not been able to work out how to get them working yet to install them and read the CD. Mephisto Shredder (14th WMCCC - 1996 Jakarta WM Version) (Not all but some work) Here is the list of what I have working so far: Mostly by using either Fritz 5.32 and Chess Genius capability to run ENG chess engine files. COOL!!!Īnd as you can see Chess System Tal II works well as well!Īll in all I have been able to make the following chess programs work inside DOSBox Windows 95. Genius 6 and 6.5 work well too and here you can see WChess 2000 from David Kittinger playing inside the Genius 6 program. Great graphics and works really well as you can see from the search depths.
You can see from the search depth, 10/22 in 29 seconds works nicely for competitive games against King. Mephisto Shredder the 1996 Jakarta World Champion Program As you can see I had already loaded some programs onto it.
That is the Windows 95 desktop inside DOSBox. Anything much less and you are weakening the programs to make them less competitive with Millennium King. On an I7 I think this cycle of 230,000 is a good compromise as anything much higher than this and the internal chess program clock starts to slow down.
In fact CS Tal II with this setting actually considers it to be a Pentium 200 running at 200% exactly. I find through some testing with Fritz 2, CS Tal II and MChess Pro 8 that the cpu_cycle of 230,000 works well to get the Speed of a Pentium II 400 MHz. The benefits for this is that I of course want have good opponents for Millennium King and for the original Revelation. Windows 98 is also possible so that is one I will try to build sometime soon as well.
Well I am really pleased that I made the effort as it works and what I like about DOSBox of course is the control you have with cpu_cycles so you can set these to be the same with your DOSBox Dfend setup for DOS chess programs, DOSBox Windows 3.11 and now DOSBox Windows 95. And surprisingly after figuring it all out based on instructions available on the internet and trial and error as the instructions were not always correctly described I got Windows 95 working on DOSBox. Last couple of weeks I have had my head down in my spare moments building DOSBox with Windows 95.
