Might it be possible to run Windows 9x inside of DPMIONE? :)
This is a memory test for me. I seem to recall that there were a couple
of undocumented low numbered DPMI calls needed in order to run Win 3.1,
so perhaps there are others needed for Win9x. Short of debugging the
sequence, I can't tell what is needed in order to run Win9x.
Sorry, but I'm knee-deep in another open source project.
Situations like this are why I wrote 386SWAT. Does anybody use that, or
has it been superseded by something else?

I tried Chicago 58s as I thought it might be more like win31, but it doesn't work either: With HDPMI I get a different error: @Baron-von-Riedesel did you ever try to get Windows 9x to work with HDPMI? :) |
No. IIRC, I tried Win31 Enhanced mode, with a special version of HDPMI, and I vaguely remember that at least progman.exe did run. However, running Win32 apps under a "standard" 16-bit DPMI host (HDPMI16) seems impossible, since the stack is 16-bit only and interrupt/exception handlers also are 16-bit. |

Work related to launching Windows 9x is also here: This is about using another DOS though. I don't know how much it's the DPMI server part of Windows 9x containing vwin32 that relies on specifics of the included MS-DOS 7/8 or also the client part that we're attempting to load with another DPMI server. |
