Hallo Franz,

Danke das waere Super. Das hilft aber nur mit Genius 6.5. Es gibt einige wo ich das gleiche Problem erlebe. So wie Chess Academy mit Goliath Blitz 1.0, Virtual Chess 2, Shredder 3, 4 und 5. CM5000, Powerchess usw. Also ich muss immer noch eine Loesung finden fuer virtuellen CD auf Dosbox Win 95 was original disketten liest fuer installaton und beim start wo diese dann zuminendest bei manche beim ersten mal die diskette im Laufwerk suchen. Das ist das "Insert disk" problem.

Gruss
Nick

I'll explain how to solve the problem Nick
-Create an ISO image from your CD
- Extract the iso image with Daemon Tools
example in the CG65 folder
-Create an IMG image from the "CG65" folder
-copy the IMG image with Winimage in the disk where you have Win95 or in the secondary slave disk
upload the IMG image with VirtualCloneDrive and install ChessGenius 6.5
When the CD letter asks you, add the one assigned by VirtualCloneDrive
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco

Great it sounds like you installed DOSBox Windows 95! It's cool right? It plays very smoothly.

I am going to try it again this weekend when I have more time. What do you use to covert to an IMG file after you extracted the ISO image with Daemon tools.

Also where you able to install the usb supplements without it crashing on you? On me these did not work and crashed on me a couple of times making the virtual hard drive unusable. Maybe I am doing something wrong with the USB supplement files?

Best regards

ImgBurn for create IMG

I have not installed "USB supplement" it, but you can try this unofficial alternative package, it would seem to be better and should not create problems during the installation.

Marco

Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer.

Marco

Yes I had the same error. So I am not sure how the website got it working. I am thinking that if you had USB support it would be good also for transferring to and from Win 95.

Ich habe heute morgen ein bischen mehr mit DOSBox Windows 95 herumgespielt und einige weitere programme funktionieren unter Ihn:

Der Bringer 1.9 von Gerrit Reubold

War damals ein starkes programm was gut unter die engines mithalten konnte.



Wie Ihr sieht er rechnet schnell und tief.

Chessmaster 5000

Der Chessmaster war ja damals das Spitze programm fuer eine zeit bei Computer Schach und Spiele.



Er rechnet auch Tief und schnell.

Chessmaster 4000

Diesen habe ich von DOSBox Windows 3.11 uebertragen und er funktioniert auch gut bei Windows 65.



Extreme Chess

Unter Extreme Chess den ich auch uebertragen habe von Windows 3.11 kann man Fritz 3.10 Hong Kong Version und Fritz 4.01 spielen.



DOS unter DOSBox Windows 95



DOS im Grunde genommen lauft auch besser unter DOSBox Windows 95 als DOSBox Dfend weil man braucht nicht jedes einzelnes program konfigurieren.
Hier als Beispiel Mephisto Gideon:

DOSBox Windows 95 Desktop



Der Desktop ist auch bequemer weil man muss nur auf das Programm Bild druecken und es oeffnet mit der cpu_cycles Einstellung die man nur einmal aendert fuer alles in der konfigurations datei. Daher ist alles viel bequemer, einfach und schneller um zu spielen.

Programme unter DOSBox Windows 95

Hier sind alle Programme die ich zur Zeit unter DOSBox Windows 95 am laufen habe:

Es wird immer besser. Fritz 6 gui funktioniert auch:




Gruss

Ich schreibe dismal auf English weil ich gerade das gleiche Post auf Hiarcs auch gestellt habe. Der Marco M.Z. hat mir gezeigt wie man auch komplette Cd's hochladet und zum laufen bringt daher hat sich die Liste um einiges noch vergroessert was unter DOSBox Windows 95 lauft.

A few more programs I got working yesterday, with the help of Marco (M.Z.) who showed me how to figure out loading complete disk images and using a virtual drive.

Mephisto Classic Champ



This is a Windows 3.11 program which until now I could only play through DOSBox Windows 3.11 by keeping the original CD in the drive. But I could also get it to work the same way under DOSBox Windows 95. The program is based around the DOS program Chess Genius 1 which was converted for Windows 3.11 and sold by Hexaglot.

Chess Tiger 15



Cool program works well.

Shredder 4



Shredder 4 works well too!

Shredder 5.32



And Shredder 5.32 gui works as well.

Deep Junior 6



Deep Junior 6 gui also has Junior 5 included.

Chess Master 5500



I showed previously Chessmaster 4000 and 5000. Well Chessmaster 5500 and 6000 work as well!

Chess Master 8000



Chess Master 8000 works just fine as well, so Chess Master 7000 should also work.

I have run out of Windows 95 virtual hard disk space so for now I am going to leave at that. With DosBox you can create a master hard drive and a secondary hard drive. These last few programs are much bigger in size so they filled up the secondary hard drive.

But what you can do if you want even more programs to work, you create a third and fourth hard drive and attach them as the secondary hard drive and so you can play more and more if you want. I am satisfied with what I have for now.

Maybe someday I will build another hard drive and attach some missing stuff such as Shredder 1-3 and 5 and Power Chess but beyond that there is not much more that I would want. Perhaps a secondary hard drive where I put all the DOS Programs into it.

Anyway here is the list of what currently works:

Chessmaster 4000
Chessmaster 5000
Chessmaster 5500
Chessmaster 6000
Chessmaster 8000
Chess Tiger 15
Comet B12
Comet B37
