at486 and Win 3.1x... maybe I'm doing something wrong?
11/19/15 01:50 AM


I tried to run some old DOS games full screen on MAME without the bother of VMWare not able to lock mouse cursor or that bar at the bottom when full screen. Most games run fine so then I moved to the next step: Windows. Windows 95 installs fine. There was a weird video glitch when colors set to 256 colors, but it got fixed when I installed DirectX. I tried also every Windows 3.1x available (even 'for Workgroups'), but it hangs right at the 2nd/3rd disk (when it finishes copying files and ask you to wait a while). I've played with many basic slot devices without success and I get the same result with at386 and ct486.

I run driver using this:

mame64.exe at486 -harddisk at486_C1015_H16_S63.chd -ramsize 16m

DOS version is 6.22 with MSCDEX installed.

I also tried imgtool to inject files into blank disks (so I don't burn files into ISO images to copy them) but I can't even create them. It hangs on this command.

imgtool.exe create fdi_fat test.fdi

I know the driver is set as "Not working", but I remember I could run Win 3.1 before. Maybe I am missing something else.
