ThatMS-DOS layer is emulated with the 16bit virtual mode manager in x86, but, as one processcannot be both run 32bit AND under 16bit VMM, all 16-bit code must be emulated whichcauses the system to go really slow. The system was faster when i installed unofficial servicepack v2.1a.If you look for a not too slow system, think about Win95 OSR2 (it is actually faster thanWin<strong>98</strong>SE on my system). Think also disabling ACPI, IO-APIC or any high-tech thing thatWin<strong>98</strong> have hard time to support.Finally, make sure you install 32-bit drivers. 16bit drivers in <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong> are common butpainfully slow.May 1st, 2008 #18Wake RiderGee!

<strong>Guest</strong> <strong>additions</strong> for virtualbox using windows <strong>98</strong> - ...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65316...Quote:Originally Posted by EckHeh heh, I even got software 3D working by turning on SciTech Display Doctor'sGLDirect thing in compatibility (CAD) mode. It was fun doing the samples andseeing glxgears, airplanes flying, etc, on <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong>SE. It was slow, but familiaras my first computer was a SiS55<strong>98</strong> machine with onboard 4MB softwareDirect3D and was about this same speed.You know those sites that <strong>Windows</strong> users are forced to use all the time to getstuff to "generate" "unlocking" things for old software no longer sold, and evennew software for poor folks? That's where you need to search for the SciTechDisplay Doctor 7 beta thingy to use it more than 21 days. Hint: Personal (type inyour name), 1 (weird question, but I typed 1 and it continued), Pro. If you get ityou'll understand. Mine had no nasties embedded, but be careful out there! Onlyworks on your <strong>Windows</strong> guest. He he, I tried it with Wine but had to end theprocess as it couldn't open the dosbox display to use it.I did the whole Unofficial Auto-Patcher for <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong>SE. <strong>98</strong>SE2ME, and <strong>98</strong>MP10installations and have a fully updated and ready to have fun with <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong>SE.For some reason my <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong> Startup floppy couldn't load the cdrom driversand it froze there, but I substituted an OEM <strong>98</strong> Gold cdrom I had and installedfrom that fine. Then I used my <strong>98</strong>SE Updates Cd (that $20 thing that upgrades<strong>98</strong> Gold to <strong>98</strong>SE from a booted up GUI only), and upgraded to Second Edition.I used SciTech for the 1024x768 res, software 3D, and used Realtek's latest<strong>Windows</strong> 95 VXD driver download extracted with WinRAR and DeviceManager updated the Audio Controller to it. Realtek's setup exe doesn'tcontinue on anything but <strong>Windows</strong> 95 but extracting it gives you the whole thingto direct Device Manager to. You even get SoundBlaster MS-DOS within <strong>Windows</strong>sound drivers and a Wavetable midi driver (though midi skips).I haven't installed Rain20 yet that the Virtualbox user faq recommends to handleprocessor load, but I'll try that soon. Maybe it'll help speed it up a bit.I'll print out that VGA information posted here. Maybe that would help too, butsince I already use the SciTech driver I probably already have that fixed throughjust using their driver. Not sure though. It works so I don't want to fiddle toomuch with the configuration.Which one did you use? I am struggling to get sound on <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong> in VirtualBox!September 21st, 2008 #19xfree07First Cup of UbuntuJoin Date: Sep 2008Beans: 3Re: <strong>Guest</strong> <strong>additions</strong> for virtualbox using windows <strong>98</strong>You know, I honestly didn't want to use Microsoft's VirtualPC 2007 to run <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>98</strong>, butI was forced to. I tried it in VirtualBox, but I couldn't get the Display Doctor 7 driver towork, nor the VESA drivers they listed on that Geocities page. The VM would just hang onstartup, and never go into <strong>Windows</strong>. To make matters worse the CPU load was always fairlyhigh, even with RAIN 2.0.It works great with VirtualPC though, as one would expect. It works about the same asUbuntu or Debian work under VirtualBox with a <strong>Windows</strong> host OS - Great! All the driverswork right out of the box, and there are guest tools as well.I would be interested to see if it is possible to run VirtualPC on Wine... Has anyone triedthis???I was trying to set up a MyEnTunnel solution, because AutoSSh wasn't accomplishing mygoals (remote ports stay open?):http://freshme.at/index.php?page=art...-<strong>Windows</strong>-<strong>98</strong>-VM5 of 6 11/01/11 17:17

When searching the net for a solution I came across http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/312/312726.html (as at 14 May 2009) which gave me the vital clue, although I wasnot able to follow the instructions to the letter in the VM.The essence is to run (in DOS mode on the guest)Extract Win95_04.cab xx\framebuf.drv /L c:\windows\systemwhere xx points to where the cab file is (perhaps on the <strong>Windows</strong>95 installation CD).This then opens up SVGA as an option in the Control Panel to allow 800x600.New Reply Page 2 of 2 < 1 2BookmarksDigg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google« Previous Thread | Next Thread »Posting RulesYou may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsBB code is OnSmilies are On[IMG] code is OnHTML code is OffForum RulesForum JumpVirtualizationGo-- cleanv2 ubuntu forums - archive - topvBulletin ©2000 - 2011, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
