I just checked out Windows 3.1 with some win16 games.
It is working fine, but I wonder about enhanced version.
Didnt play with DOSBox longer time, but it is maybe possible to:
a) set auto startup of Windows in DOSBox config file
b) set startup commands (mount c ., c:, c:\windows\win.exe) in windows shortcut (rest files put to extra folder so it would look cleaner)
Then extend Windows 3.1 with extra libraries which are required by many games (for example: Visual Basic).

Here is nice collection of Win16 games:
https://archive.org/download/630-window ... 0Games.zip
https://archive.org/download/530-more-w ... 0Games.zip

Most of them not work, probably because of DLL missing.
Probably Visual Basic libraries (VB*) should be enough.
Here is source of some DLLs:

I actually set up an automount section in Dosbox for my previous Win 3.1 packages (for Crusaders, Congo & Panic in the Park) because I knew what image files needed to be mounted, but for this current release I left the section blank. For a future update, I'm trying to figure out how to automount a specific disc image that is given by the user - in other words, if Dosbox can "guess" what is the image to mount. About the DLLs, I'll inquire myself about it.

I'm not sure if dosbox can do that. You may just have to give instructions for the end user on the file(s) to edit.

I tried making an automated mounting with user prompt and variables but it never turned to work. So yeah a commented .conf file would be simplier.

what about for VMware fusion?

by **Molitor** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:14 pm

Doesn't Fusion use the VMDK container as well ?

Thanks a lot for these pre-configured images.

I know it's a year old conversation, but the end of the dosbox config file (can be command line specified to load a config other than the default) is the autoexec section where you can automatically execute commands at "boot" time (like @autoexec.bat for old farts like me)
you can just add "win" there like in the old days
