Does WinUAE still work on Win95?

MethodGit · 25 August 2003, 12:43

I remember §ane had to post Win95-specfic exes of R8 for someone. And now, of course, R9 is out....

Has anyone tested it on a 95 system so far yet?

§ane · 25 August 2003, 14:36

Check the Zone for Win95 compatible R9 binaries. Use at own risk.

Win95 !!!

... you know what year this is right ?

You know when I had XP installed, I had a partition with 95 installed as well... In many ways I prefer W95 before XP. Most of all: It doesn't suck as much power from the computer. Xp had a tendency to turn into a crawling lump after a while. I don't know who it was, but someone on this very board recommended ME - so I decided to give it another shot (had tried it previously but tossed it), and I discovered that after having installed some updates it runs very smooth! Thanks, whoever it was.

But XP isn't the bee's knees you know

...... sometimes I wonder whether there's any point to all those services for instance.

Was it Bloodwych, by any chance?

Ahh Mr Creosote .. But the Amiga is Immortal !!

Amiga is FOREVER !!

Win95 was just a passing phase. (like space hoppers)

Win95 doesnt have IE built in, thats why its faster

khephren · 25 August 2003, 18:57

*cough*bollocks*cough*

Talking about an operating system that was designed to work on computers that are close to ten years old and an upgrade to Windows 3.11!

I had a 486 DX/4 66 back then (I think) and Windows 95 was slow - sound familiar? - until I upgraded.

Win ME aka worse M$ OS EVER

and may god have mercy on the soul of whoever uses that piece of infernal software... apart from fisken

WFW worked well with little memory 8-16mb, win95 did well with 32mb. Read the minimum requirements on the box and multiple by 2 for a working setup.

I used Windows 95 right up until February 2000, where Windows 2000 took over the reins and is still my current preferred operating system.

Win 95 was a decent enough OS, although the uptime was somewhat dodgy (explorer or something else fell over after ~12 hours usually). To be fair, I've never seen Workbench last that long (one or two demos/games are often enough to fragment RAM so you can't launch anything new), so one can't comment too harshly on it.

Explorer was faster than it is today on 2K/XP, it didn't have that irritating IE integration of Windows 98, and it ran fine with a small amount of memory.

ethylene · 26 August 2003, 03:29

I've become a big fan of the GNU GRUB bootloader. You can have as many OSs as you want!

Before that, I relied solely on Windows 98SE. This OS can natively run anything from the very earliest DOS software, all the way up through today's WDM drivers. Maybe not the best as far as stability or speed goes, but definitely the 'biggest blanket' MS ever made.

Well, Belgarath. I don't need no fucking mercy from God. ME runs fine on my computer, if you don't like it - fine with me. Just as ethylene pointed out, though, Win98SE is probably the best of the "old" wins. Thinking about regressing... And DON'T give me no more bullshit about using old win versions!!

Shatterhand · 26 August 2003, 06:08

I am still using Windows 95!

But I am still using a Pentium MMX 233, and I have just 64 mbs of Ram.

For me, Win 95 is the only option, it runs fast, it's reasonably stable (More than some Windows versions I have used). The only problem is that some apps I would like to use doesn't work on it. Well, life is tough

grassden · 26 August 2003, 11:52

Hi all, it was me who requested that if possible someone could get 22r8 and r9 to work under win95. The reason i requested it was simply i dont use anything but win95 on the pc. yeah i ken it not the best os around these days but for the pc specs iv got it runs fine for the job it was designed to do in 1997!!! and it still fufilling the required specs of the job in my mom's business. The only snag i do have with win95 is just one piece of software called AOL 5, 6 and 7 -- all these versions have a tendacy to corrupt the main.idx file >god only knows why it does must be the coding!!> the only things that changed within the pc since 1997 has been just an additional 64mb more ram to 128mb in total
