For sound, just select "Roland MT-32 Emulation" or "Roland CM-32L Emulation" instead of "FluidSynth", no need to even click Configure or find a soundfont. Many soundfonts try to emulate the Roland sound anyway.

Maybe a nitpick but you mentioned "virtualization" and "VM" which is not what 86Box does. 86Box does low level emulation of old PC hardware in software. Virtualization uses a hardware feature of modern CPUs to allow you to run guest OSs at near native speed. 86Box's approach is going to be slower than virtualization but is more accurate at emulating old hardware which virtualization does not attempt to do.

This video skips the fact that Windows 98 doesn't find drivers for the 2D VGA and sound card....

If you have a not so performant computer i would rather go the Dosbox->Windows 98 route because Box86 is pure emulation. Your host might be too slow for Win 98. Dosbox is much more performant.

Thanks for the guide, I found two issues though. 1. When copying the installer one it doesnt make a copy of the image file, and when I copy and paste it this doesnt seem to work. 2. The 3D Mark thing doesnt work, and it lists like 5 possible causes why.

I do it best by doing setup from CDROM. It is the better choice.

Windows 98 is now 23 years old, but you can't just download a self-contained, ready to use Win98 emulator because copyrights now last a ridiculously long time and prevent people from making use of obsolete software that the company will NEVER make another cent from and in fact, wants nothing more to do with.

I recommend choosing VooDoo 3 3000 drivers when installing windows 98 because that driver is sooo powerful, It can display Windows 98 at 1920x1080 with true color mode

I really appreciate this guide! I was seriously struggling setting up my win98 emu and your step by step instructions really saved my bacon, so thank you!

Many thanks for this guide and thank you for taking the time to do this. I was having significant difficulty installing Windows 98 on VirtualBox and this emulator seems much better to run Windows 98.

When I tried the config with the video of S3 Trio for 2D and Voodoo 2 for 3D the DirectX tests failed. So I switched settings Display>Video from S3 Trio to PCI 3DFX Voodoo3 3000 with default settings. Installed the Voodoo 3 drivers from philscomputerlabs and now DirectX tests works. Another benefit is that the laggy mouse input is now much smoother.

Ripper of a tutorial mate. Look forward to the next ones in this section of retro gaming using the methods you teach. Many thanks.

Out Standing ! I just wanted to play an old game, when I first found your channel, but you have basically built your own version of Hypervisor for any PC. Very nice way more than I was expecting.
