r/86box

I setup a 486DX2/66 16M 240M HDD system in 86Box, configured it with two Hayes compatible modem interfaces on COM1 and COM2, set both come ports to different telnet ports, installed MS-DOS 6.22, QEMM 7.5 and DESQview 2.8.

I successfully installed and configured two nodes of Renegade BBS with a multiplayer instance of LoRD and everything is working.

I'm pretty proud. This felt a lot like the battles I had as a SysOp in from 1990 to 1995. Wonderful to come out with something that was like having 30 year old computer parts here!

86Box rocks! (although, snapshots would be a huge benefit!!)

THANK YOU FOR 10 YEARS OF HAPPY EMULATION

Hey everyone! I've been messing around with 86Box lately to set up a nostalgic Windows 98 environment. I finally managed to configure the virtual modem to simulate a classic dial-up connection. Seeing the "Connected" screen was amazing

I made a quick short about the dial-up screen here if you want to check out the vibe: https://youtube.com/shorts/En6-gCjXYQ0

Please check out my channel so you all can give me other video ideas

Celeron 533. The CPU is a workstation Xeon, it should be able to run at full speed, but it won't.

Large CPU frames, acceleration enabled.

I'm trying to get Clandestine to run correctly, and can't figure out what is causing my issue. Ai isn't very helpful.

The first photo is what the game is doing when it boots up. The second is my set up.

Can anyone give me tips or suggestions to try and make it work?

From what I can tell, my setup shouldn't be absurdly beyond the game. And I tried making a Win95 machine, but I ran into a lot of problems getting it to work.

Ai says it's a graphic card issue, but that seems odd.

TIA.
