**NOTE**
If you need to use that add new hardware route. Select no for windows to Search for hardware. Then choose Sound, Video and game controllers from the list. Next pick Have Disk and point to the location of the Voodoo 2 divers.
Yes! at some point I call PCem dosbox in this video. We all just going to have to live with that ;)

Thanks for helping me and hopefully it would work for my Games Walkthrough on Windows 95
Excellent video. Tip: After you partition/format the hard drive and are about in start the Windows install, copy the Win95 directory from the CD (your drive R:) to the hard drive and run setup from there. Why? The setup remembers where you installed Windows from (probably in the registry somewhere) and you won't get prompted for the CD in the future when you update the install. It automatically pulls the missing files from the C: drive without prompting. Makes things a little bit easier.
Great video thanks, only tutorial that showed exactly how to do it on PCemv17
THANK YOU, I'm running Silent Thunder 2 again!
When given the choice between 95 and 98SE, always go for 98SE when you want to do a vintage gaming PC, whether bare metal or PCem. 98 had better driver support than 95 and didn’t have all of the wonkiness that 95 had.

@@gustavoreynaga oh ok
Around 22:00 mins you mention having to convert to iso files. If instead of (at the beginning) using Raw .img you instead go with .vhd for your choice, you don't have to convert to iso. At least I'm led to believe this from other videos on youtube. You just 'Mount' and later 'Eject' the virtual harddrive (vhd) and browse to the .exe(s) that you want and run them up.
I'm just getting into PCEM v17 this week and haven't yet noticed any stability issues so far with my particular settings. Went with AMD K6-2/300mhz AFR-66 , Voodoo 3 3000 GPU, Soundblaster AWE32 and Windows 98. I installed DOS 6.22 first, including a DOS CD ROM driver but it probably would have worked fine installing Win 98 from the beginning. So far I've only tried a handful of games, including Midtown Madness 2, Sim Tower, and Myth 2 Soulblighter -- but they've been as smooth as running on original hardware after installing Voodoo 3 drivers + Direct X 7 or 8.
Maybe PCEM needs to run on a high end system to achieve stability with those higher settings, I dunno. I'm running i9 13900k/4090 ..
Great video thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Maybe the emulation is unstable, but I am running Win95 on a laptop with P2@333 with 192M SDRAM, Trident 9525DVD and Maestro2 sound and it is able to play DVDs very well, play games and also listen mp3 and CD music. If you use FAT32 (Win95 OSR2 and later) can use a HDD bigger than 32G (I use a 60G HDD because I had no smaller one at hand) but to stay safe, put the OS on a smaller (primary) partition (less than 8G) and for the rest of the HDD make max 32G partitions. For that you must use Win98 FDISK because Win95 fdisk is limited to see max 8G HDD in dos mode
Great video, thanks for giving atention to Win95 that seems to be forgotten; it was the first best windows.
Handy to to know. I'll give it a go. Thanks.
@@Alpha_Omega775 Indeed Win95 is unstable in 86Box. I try it on a similar setup and it freeze the emulator randomly, and I only installed, not even run any programs. No problems with Win98, Win2k or dos.
The best PC emulator I ever used was VirtualPC. It ran from dos up to XP anything, that including old Linux distros. Sadly it can not run on anything above Win 7.
Yeah. I got a Pentium II 300MHz setup with a Voodoo3 card and it works fine. Runs Unreal Gold with no problems. Still, I was going to setup a PCem with a Voodoo2 card too for older stuff. I got nostalgic for Windows 95.
Is there any game compatibility benefit to running Win 95 instead of Win 98 2nd edition? Everything has been perfect so far on a K2 300/Voodoo 3 on 98, but I haven't tried an extensive selection of games yet. I was surprised even 90s DOS Demoscene demos written in Machine Code & Assembly ran perfectly. I never expected this much out of a PC emulator.
So first time here. I am trying to follow along but not sure how to get the windows 95 files. I have original cds for 95 and 98 and daemon tools. can i just generate a fresh image?
Yeah you should be albe to make an ISO with deamon tools. Also can just download load from a site like this winworldpc.com/product/windows-95/osr-2 and the is also the internet archives.
Hello. Are you able to connect USD devices, such as Win 9x supported gamepads, etc, like in a VM manager?
Unfortunately the is no real hardware passthrough with Pcem. the closest thing to that is the controller tab in the configure menu that has a few preset devices you can map your USB controllers to.
Somebody need to assist us on PCem17. The SB16 does not work anymore when installed through the OSR2.5 CD. I swear I really followed 100% exactly your guidance on the video and in the links and in the commands. I still cannot get sound and it's the new 17 version. Please assist I have been working on this for 48 hours. No it's not the parameters and if it is it is coding, not GUI.
This seems to be a unique problem with PCem 17. I'm not sure but maybe change the sound card in Pcem config and remove the device from windows 95 and ether try to reinstall the sound blaster 16 or maybe try a different sound card, the awe 32 works for me but you may need to down the windows 95 drivers off Archive.org.
I used the OSR2 CD and the sound blaster 16 worked right away.
it doesn't install voodoo2, it just says:"The specified path does not contain information about your devices".
why?
Could be a few reasons. You need the Version 3.01.01 voodoo 2 drivers and they need to be already extracted. It is a self extracting exe file that needs to be run first in the virtual machine. In this video I set the extraction path to C:\voodoo but by default it will go to C:\windows\temp if not changed. Also in the settings on PCem the for voodoo emulation must be set to voodoo 2. I could not get voodoo 1 to work at all. The last thing is this will only work on the multimedia device in the hardware list. Hope this helps, if not maybe a tell me a few more details and we can try to work this out.
@@Alpha_Omega775can you show me the steps on how do I install PCI Multimedia Video Device using Add New Hardware
@@Alpha_Omega775 Having the same problem. Downloaded the right one. Ran the .exe and extracted. Nothing.
