So true; when I owned a 286/16MHz, I craved 486DX40. When I got that, the Pentiums were ruling. I did manage to get my hands on a Voodoo 2 card, though, paired with some S3 card...
I have a issue: every time I start the program it says that "cannot detect emulator" and ask o make the download. I do and the program insists that cannot detect the emulator. What his could be?
was trying to set up windows 95 with this, was not able to set it up past the boot disc requirement bit, i went to try to mount it then have it boot it, no dice
since you made a video for dosuae could you also make a video for installing amideb v2.0 a bare debian system with fsuae that schould be boot up straight into amiga dos and can also read amiga partitions
You can do some kind of PCAP setup with 86BOX to have it connect to a network through the host PC so you should be able to do this with two PCs and then have the emulated PCs connect to one another. I don't believe there is any support for direct serial or parallel linking cables yet within 86BOX so a null modem will not yet let you join to another PC and 86BOX emulated PC. But the main problem is most games used IPX back before TCP/IP set the standard which is another issue and is hard to implement between emulated DOS machines.
@@madbike71 I did manage to find a way with PCAP to use both IPX and TCP/IP networking for games at least one a single PC with both 86BOX and DOSBOX, I have yet to try it from another host PC on the network to see if it works totally between two networked PCs but I believe it should. PCAP basically makes the emulated PC show up on your local network with its own protocols and addresses, so it seems to work with most network based games.
Everything works - tested with Doom with IPX and a network cribbage game with TCP/IP and they both worked between two networked PCs, one running DOSBOX and one with 86BOX both using PCAP. I might make a video on my other channel to show how to set it up.
Hvala!
Thank you Mislav! You are too kind. Much appreciated. :)
@@MikeyGRetro Mikey, please don't mention it. Your channel gives me so much joy that you couldn't begin to comprehend.
Thanks a very nice program to add to my library of collecting Dos Emulation.
Greetings Mike, Thanks for the segment. 👍
so fking cool man...mad our child hoods are in a drop down menu ehhehehe

You can create different launch icons on the desktop pointing to different 86box.cfg files. Not as nice but it will work on any type of host OS.
The moment you said VIM, I was thinking about it, LMAO!
Mikey, you could have been a little tidier and made a c:\DOS directory 🤭
Who needs directories yay? takes more time to type. ;-)
I'll try to be neater.

What if there is no message about the "No 86box"?

Yes, I was given some development version ages back, if it's ok with the developer and it's fully release I'll do a video.
Is it possible to connect one virtual pc with another? like null modem or networking?
Retro lan party 👍👍👍

@@noblesurplus Thanks for the answer. This would be a Killer Feature.
