CamTron Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 I wonder how hard it would be to create unofficial VirtualBox drivers for Windows 9x. VirtualBox (along with the guest additions) is open source, so it should just be a matter of modifying the drivers to use only Windows 98 features. https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Additions/WINNT?order=name
UCyborg Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 To those that might be interested, whenever PCem v15 is done, it'll come with some speed improvements. https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=3162
FantasyAcquiesce Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) In my experience, VMWare workstation works best at emulating Windows 9x. VirtualBox is great because it's free, but I could not get the internet to work and the screen resolution cannot stretch fully to fit my resolution. VMWare workstation accomplishes this better. The only downside is that it costs money and it's bloated compared to the others...my AIO desktop cannot properly use VMWare without constant lags, so I'm forced to use a gaming laptop.

AnX Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 PCem v15 is a great option for emulating 9x-era hardware. But 200MHz+ chips and SLI Voodoo cards can be taxing unless you have a very good host CPU (particularly single thread wise). As far as VMs go, as @~♥Aiko♥Chan♥~ said, VMWare WKS and Player are your best bet.
