Thanks for this my man! I only had my first PC in high school so mid 2000s and never got to experience the older PC games unless I was round a friends house. Now I can go down nostalgia town thanks to you're helpful tutorial! :)
Very well tutorial. Helped me a lot and made my life easier. Very well documented, with good narration and focus, without wasting my time. Thank you. I only got a bit stuck at 16 colors mode, because I experimented with SVGA and VGA settings and got a crash as well. Hell feels right home. Now the games work, its so cool!
About expanding hard drives, in general free space is not reclaimed, so if there is a lot of creation and deletion of files, the size will grow (the same can happen if you defragment or "test" or "format" the whole size, same for temp files or swapfiles), so if you know that 1GB or what you need is enough, don't go for the maximum, it will grow over time, depending on what you do
Thank you very much!! for tutorial it really helped me to learn from this amazing video. Today I also installed Windows 98 on retroarch dosbox pure and love the games and also playing C&C Tiberian sun for test. you brought me back to that time its amazing. :)
DON'T USE Windows ME unless you're just curious. WinME was when Microsoft started to force the new driver format so old hardware would have issues and cause crashes. This is so cool. I've been a long time DOSBox user, been using exodus w/ Launchbox but this is awesome.
@@roadrash2005 My first computer was a hand-me-down Ti-99/4a after my dad got a Commodore. He didn't like it so he got a first model Tandy 1000 with an 8088 CPU. That was handed down to me as well. I was in high school when my parents bought me a Tandy 1000 RLX with a 286, 640k RAM and a 40MB hard drive. SO MUCH POWER! It came with DOS and Tandy Deskmate. I later got Windows 3.11 for it.
@@GiSWiG cool, that’s a little before my time. I didn’t really start using computers until windows 95/98 were out. I had no Idea about specs then I just remembered I owned a bunch of computer games I never was able to get running lol. I had a burned working copy of roadrash 95 and a sidewinder joystick I spent hours gaming on though when I was 8.
this is an interesting option for windows 95 on Pentium with early 3d acceleration which would cover for a certain era around 1996-1997 (being towards a low end spec machine by the end of it) still the most practical way to emulate accurately a Pentium II machine which will take you roughly up to the end of windows 9x era is to use a moderately modern x86 computer (say an i7 / ryzen or later if you want to emulate a fast Pentium II well - discrete graphics won't be used so not required for the host) and PCem/86Box it's extremely convenient to have a super-accurate machine from many available components to use up to Pentium II 450 - and also have the ability to flip between machines easily to cover for some hard compatibility issues no single machine could fix (some software being hard exclusive to DOS mode, or Windows 95 only, or Windows 98 only etc) although Pentium III machine emulation is not really an option in those accurate single thread, CPU-only emulators, at least for now, a Pentium II machine was high end in 1998 and respectable up to the turn of the century, so this pretty much covers up to the win2000/winXP era, which in turn is easy to emulate very well with virtualbox and the like in practical terms, up to 1995 typically DOSBox options seem to be the most convenient [easier to work with the host machine and transfer stuff than with PCem/86Box where you usually will have to either create ISO files to mount them from inside the emulated system, or alternatively set up an FTP server locally, this is a bit annoying but it's really what you need to do with the real machines too nowadays as crosslink cable etc solutions are even more cumbersome] but from circa late Win95 up to the end of the Win9x era, DOSBox solutions are often trouble and sometimes you won't be covered at all, so PCem/86Box provides a great alternative there, with the caveat that you need a much beefer machine than a raspi, at least these days (ARM is covered by 86Box but in practice you'd be limited to emulating 486 or older hardware, so most of the time you would use DOSBox instead anyway)
I wish windows 98 really would have restarted this fast. I remember use to take my PC almost 5 min to completely restart. I had what was known to be a good system back then.
Got Age of Empires to run through this in the end. Decided to run it without the disc image so it plays the MIDI tracks with that soundfont (had to be enabled in control panel > multimedia > midi as per another comment) It's probably best if you keep the cd track on or find another soundfont. I was in for a surprise.
Hey I'm trying to get Age of Empires to run on Windows 98. Every time I am on the main menu screen, I get this loud jarring noise. This isn't there for any other part of the game. I tried changing the MIDI output to Roland MPU-401 but that didn't fix it. Any ideas ?
@Harshulify Instead of the soundfont file used in the video, I would recommend you use the Arachno Soundfont instead. It was custom built specifically for later Windows 9x-era PC games to sound like they should, including Age of Empires tracks. Otherwise, you need to enable it like you would with the other soundfont. If it doesn't seem to work, check the core settings and make sure the MIDI is set to the correct .sf2 file.
@@PandaXclone2 Thanks for the suggestion but it turns out that the issue wasn't the soundfont. I changed to the Arachno soundfont (thanks!) but still had the same problem... After some digging around, I found out that the issue was with the game using CD audio and not the MIDI files. The workaround was to create a shortcut to the Age of Empires.exe and "MidiMusic" to the end of the shortcut. Now it works beautifully !
@Harshulify That's fair and I'm glad you managed to figure it out in the end. However I'll note the arachno soundfont was a necessary step regardless as the soundfont used in the video makes the MIDI tracks sound funky.

Windows ME does install and boot. The first couple of times i used it it was unstable but now it seems to be running fine. It even boots up quicker than windows 98, and the games are running better.
Thank you for this video, it is very helpful. If you could also do a similar video for how to install Windows 3.11 in DOSBox Pure I would be really great.
I managed to find an already pre installed folder of Win 3.11 and used that to boot to windows on dosbox and it works 100%, with video drivers and Soundblaster 16 support. I can play Simcity 2000 fron within Win 3.11 perfectly.
Thank you for this tutorial, this was very helpful. I have three questions: 1. How do I shut down Windows 98 correctly? Do I have to turn on "Game Focus Mode" and how to I do that? 2. How do I change the virtual CD-drive without crasching Windows 98? I if open the quick menu and eject the disk with "Windows 98 SE" from the E:\-drive to replace with my game disc windows 98 will immediately shut down. 3. Where can I find the location of the virtual C:\-drive on my computer? I assumed it would automatically be the same folder as where I have my Windows 98 ISO-file, but this is not the case.
Great video. Regarding the secondardy drive part at 07:10 I have the secondary drive (D:) set to 1GB default. Changing this to 2GB removes the contents (even when setting before running the OS. Are you sure this is a dynamic filesize? I have a couple of games installed and there's 305MB free. It doesnt seem to be dynamic. Running Win95b, 2GB C:
**FIXED** I changed the video driver from D3D12 to Vulkan and audio runs perfectly now sound quality is very poor. could you go over optimal retroarch / dosbox audio settings please?
I think you forgot to go through the Midi stuff. Just dropping the sound font file in the Retroarch system folder doesn't seem to work. I still only get FM synthesis. I even selected the sound font file in the audio setup of Retroarch.
@@ArchadesGames Actually, I just made it work. You need to go to Control Panel -> Multimedia -> MIDI, select “Single Instrument”, and select “Roland MPU-401”. I tried it with Darkseed II, which is a notoriously fussy game, and the music sounds great now. Just like my 86Box setup. You should also tell people to configure the performance options on the core. The default setup was horribly slow for me. I think it was just a matter of choosing a Pentium 100 MHz and a dynamic re-compilation core, but I’m not completely sure that’s all I did.
@@ArchadesGames nice I wondering if you could play sonic r or sonic 3d blast on here ! On windows 98 and megaman x3 ! Them are my favorite games ! For the ps1 and the saturn ! Btw megaman x3 has the ps1 version of the game that is on the pc !
Ok so ive followed this tutorial and i was finally able to get it working. For some reason, if i had the zip anywhere except in a windows 98 folder i could not mount two images in the same zip at the same time and could not install windows... very weird.
Anyone know how to get a floppy disk drive working in windows 98se with dosbox pure trying to load some old games on windows 98SE the optical drive seems to work fine anyone know of this
Why is it when I try to setup a pop up come up saying something like my hard disk is not configured with Windows, I try all the options but they don't work and really all I can do is quit the set up. Help?
@@JorgeAraujo97 i was wondering where is the windows 95 osr 2.5 cd bootable disc all I got is just well windows 95 Microsoft plus for windows 95 I need Microsoft plus for windows 98 and also Microsoft plus for kids which might be more desktop themes in total since windows millennium edition has some limited desktop themes which I have not transferred yet. But it came with 3d pinball demo of full tilt pinball and spider solitaire in total but Microsoft plus super pack for windows new technology xp is the new for windows xp until vista to 11 they stopped making Microsoft plus themes but it is still there but different.
From the RA select Win9x CD installation file, select DOS-Box Pure core and start. When prompted, start from installed system. This will run Windows from installed media with original installation disk attached as a CD rom. Now you can add hardware and select 3dfx Voodoo. After you done, shut down the system and restart with downloaded voodoo driver (zip) to update the driver.
I'm not getting the cd rom drive. The D: drive has everything in the zip file, but the cd drive doesn't show up. Also how did you get multiple bin files and only 1 cue disk image file?
@@ArchadesGames I get that, but when I rip the discs I get a bin file and a cue file for each disc. Should I go through something other than retroarch to rip the discs?
Can you move files into the zip file while in the emulator and remove them to your normal computer? I tried doing that a long time ago and was able to get windows 95 plus to work on my computer, but I dont remember how I did it.
hi i wonder if its possible to invert drive E and drive D like to have my CD-Rom drive as the D letter ans my hard drive to install my game as drive E i dont find how to do that because i thinks the Cd need to be mount in drive D to get music in the game or else i only get sound effect
Is there a way to reinstall this? I just installed 2gb hard disk and i realised my game can't with cause its around 2gb.. and i cant install it to the D: cause its the zip file that i load the windows with where the game is.. I tried to install it to D: regardless but now retroarch crashes everytime i try to load the windows with the game zip file
What about the sound and graphic drivers? Do I have to install them or the system works out of the box from the start? Also how do you know which drivers you have to instal since Retroarch is emulating a 98 PC?
The video shows you exactly what needs to be installed for drivers and the time stamps as well so pardon me for not believing you actually watched it. 🤷🏻♂️
When I start Halo 1, I get this error: "A problem occured initializing DirectDraw. Hardware acceleration maybe disabled, please run DXDIAG." Guess DOSBOX aint' there yet?
How do you install a game like Baldur's Gate where it requires multiple discs to install? The game you showed was only two discs, but Baldur's Gate is 5. Could you help me?
where are the partitions saved? i think I accidentally installed Windows 98 twice and it's taking up space on my PC. Also, can you use the internet or CD drive?
When I put in my product key it won't take the letters Q W A S Z X is there anyway around this? It will take all the letters and numbers but these I listed.
Is it possible to set up retroarch so it boots directly into the chosen game, as opposed loading up the virtual copy of windows and having to open the game manually?
Only thing I can think of is to edit the auto start settings within Windows. But then you would need a separate install per game which wouldn't be difficult since you can clone the virtual HDD when you first install it. Then rename them after the game so you know which is which. You would need them to be smaller drives so they wouldn't destroy the available storage space though. 🤔 Now I'm curious if it would actually work 🤣
@Archades Games I didn't touch anything . Just got my iso and bootable image compressed it and started it with doxbox pure and I all I see is autoinstall extract.exe etc but no boot and install
Found the issue. Do not select a powerful CPU on the RetroArch settings. Just put Auto, and the emulator will fix it. I chose PENTIUM II and i heard noises crackling. Then i selected auto, restarted win 98, and its fixed!

hi i wonder if its possible to invert drive E and drive D like to have my CD-Rom drive as the D letter ans my hard drive to install my game as drive E i dont find how to do that
because i thinks the Cd need to be mount in drive D to get music in the game or else i only get sound effect
Is there a way to make the ne2000 configuration work? to be able to play through the network?
Is there a way to reinstall this? I just installed 2gb hard disk and i realised my game can't with cause its around 2gb.. and i cant install it to the D: cause its the zip file that i load the windows with where the game is.. I tried to install it to D: regardless but now retroarch crashes everytime i try to load the windows with the game zip file
Delete the files from your system folder
@@ArchadesGames Alright thank you, i appreacite it. I have even found myself a way how to do that on xbox xD.
First
Yay!
the way i screamed abd threw up when I heard beast wars
do you know how to make a shortcut for launching the windows and some installed game directly? i would like to add those games in launchbox
ua-cam.com/video/23Wpmxok_0w/v-deo.html
@@ArchadesGames thanks!! now i need to know how to make a shortcut in windows 10 for each game executing retroarch
How do you uninstall it?
I never get the E drive showing up
Doesn't go through the setup after making the hard disk just stays at A:\>
i have a usb controller connected but it doesnt recognize it. in win98 it says no controller is connected. what do i do?
You can't passthrough a controller yet
so how do i use a controller? is there a way yet?
What about the sound and graphic drivers?
Do I have to install them or the system works out of the box from the start?
Also how do you know which drivers you have to instal since Retroarch is emulating a 98 PC?
Watch the video
@@ArchadesGames I have wathed the video and this is not explained in it. That's why I asked it in the comments -.-
The video shows you exactly what needs to be installed for drivers and the time stamps as well so pardon me for not believing you actually watched it. 🤷🏻♂️
4:29 - Place Driver/Midi Soundfont and 14:11 - Install 3DFX Voodoo Drivers
how do you launch the quick menu? Where do you set that up in retroarch?
Settings/ input/ hotkeys
When I start Halo 1, I get this error:
"A problem occured initializing DirectDraw. Hardware acceleration maybe disabled, please run DXDIAG."
Guess DOSBOX aint' there yet?
You are trying to run a game that is way too new for a Voodoo 1 chipset
@@ArchadesGames hmmmmm
I hear people say it works on Voodoo 3 and 5
This isn't a Voodoo 3 or 5 it's a Voodoo 1. Halo also still natively works on Windows 10/11 so why bother trying to emulate it in the first place.
@@ArchadesGames was trying to run on DOSBox Pure on Android :D
How do you install a game like Baldur's Gate where it requires multiple discs to install? The game you showed was only two discs, but Baldur's Gate is 5. Could you help me?
It's the same just move to the next disc
DOSBOX Pure makes my keybaord echo on my Pi4, any tips to make it stop?
Did you press scroll lock
@@ArchadesGames Yesi pressed scroll Lock, it just kept repeating
Couldn't say then since I don't cover Raspberry Pi
do you know how to get a floppy disc drive to work with dosbox pure under windows 98se im trying to figure out how to run some of my old games with it
Retroarch doesn't give you pass through options. You need to make an image of them.
when play dos game when i to need press space it goes very fast and also press p game keeps pausing . how do i disable it some games needs those keys
Press scroll lock
@@ArchadesGames thanks
Had issues getting Unreal to work anyone have luck with that?
where are the partitions saved? i think I accidentally installed Windows 98 twice and it's taking up space on my PC. Also, can you use the internet or CD drive?
in the Retroarch system folder
@@ArchadesGames strange.. all i see there is the soundfont file we placed there
How to type in retro arch? I cannot enter the cd key.
in the video the focus mode is mentioned by pressing Scroll Lock, that's how you will be able to enter it, by entering focus mode
is it possible to increase the video memory?
now run retroarch on emulated windows 95
Did it 😅
When I put in my product key it won't take the letters Q W A S Z X is there anyway around this? It will take all the letters and numbers but these I listed.
Did you turn on game focus with scroll lock
@@ArchadesGames I'll try that, I found out the key help, allowed me do the keys, now it is working for me, thanks
Is it possible to set up retroarch so it boots directly into the chosen game, as opposed loading up the virtual copy of windows and having to open the game manually?
Not that I'm aware of
Only thing I can think of is to edit the auto start settings within Windows. But then you would need a separate install per game which wouldn't be difficult since you can clone the virtual HDD when you first install it. Then rename them after the game so you know which is which. You would need them to be smaller drives so they wouldn't destroy the available storage space though. 🤔 Now I'm curious if it would actually work 🤣
It totally works!
@@ArchadesGames Can you make a tutorial about this?
ua-cam.com/video/23Wpmxok_0w/v-deo.html
Is posible emulate voodoo 2 or banshee
Nope
It seems that my dosbox doesn't have enough memory whenever I try to start installation process. Help
Did you manually set the amount of RAM?
@@ArchadesGames Not really
Did you or not. Not really isn't an answer...
@Archades Games I didn't touch anything . Just got my iso and bootable image compressed it and started it with doxbox pure and I all I see is autoinstall extract.exe etc but no boot and install
Make sure the boot image is listed first and if it is it might be a bad one.
Just wondering, can I do this on an android phone?
If it has the DOSBox Pure core
weeds4 file is missing
Is it possible to install windows 7
Nope
My win 98 se audio is crackling any ideas?
Happens with games when they push your CPU
@@ArchadesGames but its just sitting @ the desktop, and I'm pretty sure 6770k should be more than capable.
@@ArchadesGames Im having the same problem with a 12600k. On desktop every sound is crackling.
Found the issue. Do not select a powerful CPU on the RetroArch settings. Just put Auto, and the emulator will fix it. I chose PENTIUM II and i heard noises crackling. Then i selected auto, restarted win 98, and its fixed!
@@lautaross13 Thanks, I fixed mine by changing the sample rate within windows 98.
How is this vid different than the one from a week ago?
PC vs Xbox
@@ArchadesGames Duh, thanks. I need some caffeine!
Hi I don't have Retroarch. I don't want Retroarch. I have Dosbox Staging. I want to install Windows 98 there. How?
Don't know since I use Dosbox Pure in Retroarch.
@@ArchadesGames Oh, shucks. Ok dude thanks. I'll keep an eye out on more of your videos in case your ever make it.
For sure!
