Tips and Tricks

  • To exit Windows 95 and return to DOSBox-X, press Ctrl+F9.
  • To exit DOSBox-X and close the emulator, type "exit" (without quotes) and press Enter.
  • To change the screen resolution or color depth of Windows 95, right-click on the desktop, select Properties, select Settings, and adjust the options as desired.
  • To enable sound support in Windows 95, you need to install a sound driver. You can download one from here. Follow the instructions on how to install it on Windows 95.
  • To enable CD-ROM support in Windows 95, you need to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the disk image file. You can do this by opening WinImage, opening the disk image file, right-clicking on AUTOEXEC.BAT, selecting Extract, editing it with a text editor, saving it, and dragging it back into WinImage. You need to add a line that says "mount d /path/to/cdrom.iso -t cdrom" (without quotes), where /path/to/cdrom.iso is the location of your CD-ROM image file on your computer.
