Windows 95 and DOS games on a Wyse Vx0 thin client
Ойындар
Here I take a look a getting Windows 95 working on a thin client as well as DOS, all thanks to a Radeon 7000 graphics card add-on and recent developments in the retro gaming community getting Soundblaster emulation working on various AC97 audio chips.

hi, where did you get the audio and the rest of drivers? thanks in advance!
Are you going to sell builds like this? I got your v90 build and it was well setup, I was impressed by the completeness of the build. Having an ati card like this looks pretty cool. BTW I ordered your sempron win98/xp machine, and I sent a note asking to include a stand for the v90 I previously ordered. Make more videos if it isn’t too much hassle.

Ah, now I know who you are. Yes, I shipped your stuff yesterday, Wyse vx0 stand included (check your messages, I did update you yesterday). And I do have this build listed if you go back to my store. As to making more videos, I have like 20 or 30 ideas in my head, it is just a time issue (that and my recording/production equipment is very minimalistic).
Hi, I think you forgot to add the links to the description because there are none.
Any chance you can link the drivers you used for this build? Thanks!
I have one of these and want to run Windows 95
i think there is a newer improved version sbemu now available that has a bit more fixes and compatibility for this chipset. i have this thin client and OPL3 emulation sounds normal, while here the OPL sounds weirdly out of pitch and the digital sfx sound a bit distorted?

Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely have to check out the latest release. The version here is more than 5 months outdated.
Could you link drivers for w95?
do you have link to where you got hdd and video card? also do you have links to drivers?

The HDD is just a standard 16 GB 44-pin disk-on-module. They're fairly easy to find, though you might have to import from China. The video card on the other hand is a fairly rare accessory - I got lucky in buying a large lot of vx0 units and they all happened to be that variant.
can you pls show how you installed dos on it pls ive ben stumped for a year

I used Windows' DOS, which for Windows 95 is DOS 7.1 - so DOS is already here once you install Windows. The trick is setting up a boot option for it. There are 3 files you need to modify - autoexec.bat, config.sys, and msdos.sys. I show 2 of the 3 files in this video so check out the screenshots at 15:49 and 16:19. The one I didn't show was msdos.sys which requires a single line change - bootGUI from 1 to 0. The 2 .sys files are read-only so you'll have to show hidden files and also change their attribute from read-only to actually modify them.
