    s this faster than dosbox on morphos? I would only install this to play a few games like screamer or worms 2. win95 should be enough. i have a Powerbook G4 1,67GHz 1GB Ram.


    win98se Hungarian version boots 17sec on G5, so it is quiet fast. Honestly i don't test win98 much deeper, but as main rule you will need drivers to respond the applications fast as on xp emulation.
    With win95 the things much faster too than on 98.

    About dosbox, it think the same as Andreas, Dosbox is faster, but i have a lot of troubles to get win95 under dosbox, and the key will be the emulation chipset and pci as Bash64 mentioned, whitout this dosbos will be slower with win95.
    However earlier win95 games or late dos games which're runs under win95 perfectly runs under bochs. (like i said civilization II flies under xp.)

    It seems we do not have a stable release of the source available at this time.

    thats's a pity.

    Anyway Afaik you can have 4 controllers on bochs ide system so it means almost 16GB hdd space.
