What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
XD Nice one, Lass!

DOSBox has been able to run 3.1 for at least six years now! It's a bit buggy but can be made to work quite well.Levellass wrote:Wait... you can run windows 3.1 in Dosbox? Can it run CDs from DosBox?
What do you mean RE: the CDs?
Keening_Product was defeated before the game.

Actually if you do it right, you can make a win 9* image and boot that too,Keening_Product wrote:DOSBox has been able to run 3.1 for at least six years now! It's a bit buggy but can be made to work quite well.Levellass wrote:Wait... you can run windows 3.1 in Dosbox? Can it run CDs from DosBox?

It's a lot easier than I remember, I probably should have just put it in my original post but here goes,
- Crack open you DOSBox config file (listed under the Start Menu as DOSBox Options)
- Scroll down to the autoexec section at the bottom
- Insert: (where f: is the drive letter of your physical disc drive)
Code: Select all
mount d f:\ -t cdrom
- Enjoy using your CD-ROMs in Windows 3.1!
Alternatively, you could also make .ISO images of your CD-ROMs and mount them *all* in DOSBox with this command:Flaose wrote:It's a lot easier than I remember, I probably should have just put it in my original post but here goes,

It's what I use to mount all my old Windows 3.1 games so I don't have to have any CDs in the drive, and I don't have to keep reading from 20+ year old discs. The only problem I've run in to is that some discs aren't properly read by my image-making software and I have to manually make an ISO by copying the contents of a disc to the hard drive and making it from there.
