Not sure if this is known or not - or even if any one cares

I am sure that some of you know that Windows 3.1 will not
work with DOSXBox because it only runs in standard and
enhanced mode - But - Windows 3.0 can run in real mode -
why would you care - well a lot of older windows software
will run on it - over half of the old windows freeware I had
worked just fine

all you need to do make a batch file and
put WIN /R in it like

------------------------------------------
PATH C:\WINDOWS;
set TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
win.com /r
-----------------------------------------

it boots just fine

if you have the disks - just copy them each to a directory
like DISK1, DISK2, DISK3 ect ect - some times you
can just copy every thing to one directory and run setup

mine was setup like this

C:\
|
C:\WIN\
|
C:\WIN\disk1
C:\WIN\disk2
C:\WIN\disk3
C:\WIN\disk4
C:\WIN\disk5
C:\WIN\disk6
C:\WIN\disk7
C:\WIN\disk8
C:\WIN\disk9

after you run setup
it will make the windows folder and put the config.sys
and autoexec.bat in the root - like this

C:\
|
autoexec.bat
config.sys
|
C:\WIN\
|
C:\WINDOWS\

you can now remove the "c:\win" directory
were you had your setup files

now edit your "autoexec.bat" file to have "WIN /R" in it
and use it to start windows in DOSXBox

Mouse and keyboard does work -
you might also up the memory settings in DOSXBox

Men, actually this is interesting, i was looking for something like this, the thing is that i have a 1992 game that runs on dos but it could not run in dosxbox. The only time i could play it was in an old windows 3.1 computer, so, do you have windows 3.1 with you???

[QUOTE] do you have windows 3.1 with you???[/QUOTE]
I still own my windows 3.1 5 1/4 disks , LOL,

You would be shocked what you find in google - hint hint

[/QUOTE]game that runs on dos but it could not run in dosxbox[QUOTE]
that game may be trying to run in a mode that DOSXBox
will not suport - and running it under windows most likey
wont help - you could try - but I dont think it will work

But like I said Windows 3.1 will not work with DOSXBox ,
- but that game may work on Windows 3.0, and Windows 3.0
does work with DOSXBox - so give it a try

nice find mate! now try windows XP

jokes haha

MMM nice! Now how does the mouse and keyboard run?? What kind of hook up for these do you have?? USB??? Would be amazin cuz I don't think 3.0 supports USB At all

Cheers!

DOSXBox seams to work fine with USB mice and keyboards
and Windows 3.0 uses them just fine threw DOSXBox - got to
love that - did see the mouse moves a little slow - but not bad
in Windows 3.0

I have been using my usb keyboard on old dos games like the
first duke nukem made way back in 1991 - or just use
the xbox gamepad and set the buttons to keyboard keys

cool, if only I had Windows 3.

yeah i remeber the days of windows 3.1 haha

I just saw a pic of windows 3.1 running over at the
DOSBox home page with a

That will be cool

can you host windows 3.1 disk files please.

no he can't. read the rules or be suspended.

-Google is your friend - But yea, dont ask for software here -

but even if you had win 3.1, it wont work until the peeps
over at DosBox release that version and then its ported to
the Xbox - that may take some time, I cant wait

So far even Entertainment packs worked on windows 3.0
- 1 threw 3 worked, Entertainment pack 4 did not work,
- I think I had to install 3 on my computer and copy it
over to my xbox - but it worked

- And no I am not going to tell you were to get it -

Actually, I've had Windows 3.1 running in DOSBOX (Windows version) since the cvs release months ago that fixed... err... maybe some mouse irq problem if I remember correctly. Unfortunately DOSBOX for XBOX is behind the times.

OK I got windows 3.0 and installed it to my c drive I am about to delete it off my c because my new hd has a huge f drive so I will put it on f i no how but anyways i only need the following. What is my xbox's network card that I should use while in installation if I need to get a wireless adapter I have a wusb11 for windows. But I am hooked up directly to a router on a ethernet cable. Which network card do i pick at install.
