Hey, not sure if it helps but i had to install ms dos 6.22 via floppy disk first. Then stop virtual machine and use Windows 95b boot disk via floppy. And use Windows 95 osr 2.5 image. All the best!

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. The key to making the win95 image work for me was using the 512mb virtual hard drive. I tried bigger images but none of them worked. The tutorials worked perfectly. Again the problem I had was that the win 95 image wasn’t bootable so I had to find a windows 95 bootdisk. Hope you have some success!

Hope i can help!

I followed the magic dosbox tutorials using the latest version of Oracle VirtualBox and windows ocr 2.5.

As it wasn’t a bootable Disk I also used the windows 95b boot disk to start the process in virtual machine.

I had all the ports disabled as per the virtual machine tute.

Had initial issues with part 1 tutorial with initial install of win95.

Had no issues with the part 2 video. I downloaded the drivers as linked in these videos.

Then I was able to easily install Diablo 1 without issues.

Awesome, thanks so much! I’ll give that a go. Really appreciate the help.

That’s great to know, thanks for you help. Just need to work on installing D2 and getting it to open the game. I’ll keep working on that. Thanks again.

Hi all, have been following this thread and having my own issues getting it all up and running. Has anyone been able to make a workable Win95 2gb image? I can only get a 512 image working which means I cannot get D2 up and running. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
