You need to make it a preinstalled .img disk aka a raw HDD/disk image

PS: I found out you can play Minecraft in Windows 98

These are the sorts of posts that make me occasionally disappear from this forum for months at a crack.

How?

How?

Go on google and search "Darktraveler Windows". That site has instructions from start to finish on how you can create your own .img file. You'll need to have your own Windows installation .iso however.

I think it can run with more Speed if this Run as a .cia on a CFW

Tried a few days ago.
It sadly didn´t worked, I´m kinda a noob at this.

Nothing much more I can suggest, then. I do know for a fact that with those instructions and either Windows 95/98 CD or .iso, you can build a .img which is compatible with DOSBox on 3DS (I've made one myself) so it should work for you as well.

What I will ask though is if you're having trouble actually building the .img itself or if you're having problems getting that running on DOSBox for 3DS?

 

[Bobsican]

I´m getting trouble at getting the .img files, I don´t even know the resolution needed!

I need help, i started the app via homebrew and clicked on thw win95 bat since it is a 95.img. it loads but there is blackscreen on topscreen. running 11.4

So I can't for the life of me find a working Windows 95 IMG. I tried converting ISOs and NRGs I found but they didn't work. If someone would like to PM a solution to me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

It's your image. One of the most common images doesn't work properly sadly. Look up iDOS zip or something like that. Can't direct link due to forum copyright rules.

I found the zip you were talking about...

This uses the DOSBox emulator on o/n3DS. Putting Windows on it is not necessary, but rather it's simply a quirk/bragging rights.

How do i for example copy a game from my pc (exe file) to win95 on my 3ds?

You'd have to open the .img folder using DOSBox on PC, then you'd have to install the game on there. It probably won't matter anyway though: the games are on the verge of non-working at that point.

How do i move my mouse in win95 on the 3ds? haven't got that working.

 

[Pandaxclone2]

You have to use the Retroarch DOSBox port and mouse functionality is done through the c-stick.

 

[Devon0505]

How can I use the C-Stick as in this video?
