After one day of work i was able of running windows 95 on android smoothly after copying the games files to the machine i got an error :the game can only run in 256 color mode and i can’t get more vram (64k), how i can increse the vram?

In expert settings, try this!

[dosbox]
machine=svga_s3
memsize=63
vmemsize=8

I can set screen mode to Hi-Color (16 bit) with no problems.

i can’t still run it screenshot:

Strange, it should work. I’ll try it and get back to you.

[admin]

try to set vmemsize=4. Maybe driver has strange troubles. And if I remember well, somewhere in PC settings was configuration for virtual memory…

[Al ex]

This may be a stupid question, but have you set the colour depth in Win95 display properties to 256 or Hi-Color?

AoE starts fine on my phone with these settings:

It starts in 800×600, so you need to set manual mouse correction accordingly (Fix: msmouse, resolution 800×600)

whit the settings by Alex my W95 img just don’t like to start anymore so…
i cant get your img files?

if yes send to lcotoletta@gmail.com

[Al ex]

I haven’t uploaded them anywhere, and I’m at work, so I can’t share them atm. But there’s no need for that anyway: you can simply use your own mountings along with the rest of my settings. They were working before, so they should do now.
The bug cannot be caused from bad mountings, so you can simply copy/paste my settings without the [autoexec] section and insert them into your profile.
I’d suggest you take a look at your Win95 display properties, too. Sometimes, Win95 is running at 640×480, 16 colors. In this case, you need to set it to 256 colors first, or most games won’t run.

my img file is just an win95 disk image with the game file on the desktop and if i go in the screen settings i can just select 16 color and monochrome and i restored my autoexec so now i can get in windows

And aoe 1 Need atleast 1 mb Of vram

Set your graphics adapter to “S3 Inc. Trio 32/64 PCI”. That’s the one that’s being emulated by Dosbox, and it supports up to 8 MB of VRAM.
You probably need the drivers, you can either find them on your Win95 cd, or in the Win95 thread on the official Dosbox forums. Or simply google “S3 Inc. Trio 32/64 PCI windows 95 driver”. ?

Put them somewhere in your image file where you can find them. I’d suggest UltraISO for editing .img-files, you can do all you need with the unregistered free version.

And check your mounting commands. Take a look at Roland Deschains guide on xda-developers, he’s also offering pre-configured images (Win95 & Win98lite).

It’s a Dosbox Turbo thread, but DTurbo is buggy as hell, and these images also work with MagicDosbox. ?

i got the driver. i was installing and win95 just lock after 1 min i got some photo i thing i got the wrong driver:

https://i.imgsafe.org/af2525e05b.png
if you can give me an link were i can get the driver

[Al ex]

Try this: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/1347/
Should be the right one. Or use the Roland Deschain image, that one’s already configured.
