![]() Sure it's good for more "casual" games like card games and Risk, but don't you think you could find more modern adaptations of these games that you can compile natively for Pandora?Īnd why would you want to use a fancy shell in Windows 3.11? If you just want a nice way to run programs I'm sure there'll be better native shells for Pandora. However it occurs to me that most games that people wanted to play from that era were made for DOS because of the performance advantage you got in hitting the hardware more directly. If that's enough for what you want to run on Windows 3.11 then great. Which is your best bet, but still wouldn't give much better than 386-ish speeds right now. I'm sure you'll be able to emulate it, but (approximately) what kind of computer you're emulating underneath is an entirely different story. Unlike C64 or Amiga "Windows 3.11" is not a hardware platform. "Confirmed it is indeed SB+Adlib sound running in wolf3d." It is almost fullspeed and 2000 cycles, with occasional hiccups." Only tried duke1 and original wolf3d, duke seems to be fullspeed with all cores,wolf3d has stuttering sound during gameplay even with dynamic one 500MHz (other settings are left default). "well I've got it running, it's working with all 3 cores. (The only exception would be a really well equipped (486) DX/4 or Pentium system with 24 MB or better 32 MB of RAM, a hard disk of at least 1 or 2 GB, and quite a good VL or PCI graphics card.)Īnother side note: The combination of DOS and WfW 3.11 seems to be quite popular as a second system with Linux people - no wonder, as DOS doesn't need many resources, and with WfW 3.11 it's not much different, and there's still lots of software.Īnd what x86 hardware is supposed to be supported by DOSBox atPandora? This is not a good idea at all, unless your motto is "May the hourglass be with you!". There are supposed to be people who get an older computer with DOS 6.x and Windows 3.1x on it and try to iron Windows 95 or even 98 over it. Here is quote from " Windows 3.1x tuning page": But I played my MP3 at old comp 486DX2 at - 66MHz (later overclocked to 80MHz)! At Windows 3.11. It was enough for Windows 95, but speedlight for Windows 3.11. ![]() System RequirementsĬlick to expand.As I remember, I got extremely overclocked DX4 to 133MHz, and I had 32MB RAM. Here are screenshots (of different quality). I remember run 32-bit Xara (v1.2?), Paint Shop Pro (3.12?) & Photoshop 4 without problem.īut, best part IMHO is Calmira: With Calmira ("shell", GUI for Windows 3.x) you can mimic Windows 9x/XP/Vista. Some soft could be seen here, 32-bit (Win 9x) here. What is not much known is possible support of FAT32, Long file names, and (limited) 32-bit windows application support (through " Win32s"). (BTW speed decreased with more then 64K colors and above 800圆00 resolution). "High-colors modes" required 4-8 Mb of RAM. Standard Windows graphic driver was 800圆00, 256 colors. It means that it could be tweaked much more for size - if needed, but for speed too (there were tweekers). *I got bootable/portable RAMdisk-only Win3.11 version fitted at 1 3,5' floppy (1,44 Mb), (together with DOS&tools).
