Wanted to play some games that where released in 99 .. Some of those needed some specific api that Win98se had ... have a PC with Win98Se but to my luck its 550mb died on me (found a WD 830mb replacement )... so wanted to test it on a Vmachine , have one set up with Win98... but like i tough it will not boot this thing (on my Winxp SP2 WM it works half.ass.ed ) ... so ventured here to use your ready made images thinking "oh , he made those with win98se , that saves me 2h of my life" but no ... the first hit in the face was its forced use of VirtualBox Vdi format (its like you would force someone to use ISZ, and then tell them its Superior because its smaller in size .... then that this is a Zipped ISO with no subdata and no cda ) ... second slam in the face ...those VDI are not recognised by Wmware ... to re-format those you need Oracle Java tools ... frack it , so let use this Virtualboxie ... let me start by , that dunno what version you used... but the new version (up-to-date) does not recognise the graphic adapter drivers you installed on this Win98 VDI (no matter the settings , 3d off/on 2d off/on) ... so lets use the Welcome CD iSo you get from the Oracle site, it has the universal adapter drivers ..."Not supported System OS"
So your stuck with the DDraw 2 palette colour scheme ... so just for the giggles tested your winxp ... result , it works wonky but passable ... can crash on programs that could run on a potato machine
i am on Win 10 SP 2 Anniversary edition ... and the last i knew VirtualBox worked only fine in Linux /Mac OS or Winxp ... go beyond , your fracked
If you want to use something compatible then why not use VMware Player its free ... and to see its power
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnaUPg6DGqg (122 fps in a virtual machine ) and thats VMware Workstation 11 and we are now on 12 ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdDV2G2sUzg WM workstation 12 now supports from I7 4790 (to new CPUs) its build in GPU ...
If you would asked me , why I showed this two examples ... like i told here before Win10 does not like DRM of the old kind so your original games (if you have one) will not work ... now your forced to re-buy them or hope that the crack removed the DRM (and not used some build in VM to fake Api calls)
all this ended in me wasting 2h ... yeah ... later on I just installed win98se in a VMDK on a SSD ... took me 10 min ,and cloned that to the 830mb hdd
so to make this short ... your Vm Virtual Box machines work fine only in Linux /Mac OS or Winxp ... go beyond , your fracked ... so no hard feelings
