The Start menu shows the sparse amount of programs included with windows95… essentially, most of the programs are found in typical Windows 95 installations (Although there are some programs installed used for BBS and transferring files via modem, although there isn’t any modem support in windows95.) There is a way you can load floppy images into the virtual machine, though. There are no included games or programs in windows95 like there are in Macintosh.js – what you get with a standard Windows 95 installation is what you get. If you have a game you want to play, don’t expect there to be any sound. DOSBox tackles this with OPL emulation, so you get sound and OPL MIDI playback.

Most PCs (as in PC Clones) required an additional sound card to get sound output from the computer. So if you have a file or something you’d like to open in Windows 95, you can’t use it with this emulator.Īnother major problem with windows95 is the lack of sound. Unlike Macintosh.js or most other emulators, transferring files between the virtual machine and host is nearly impossible in windows95. In macOS, download, drop in the applications folder and run. Let me explain.įirst, setup of windows95 is just as easy of a process as Macintosh.js. To put it bluntly, windows95 is a near-useless emulator. (Linux/Unix distros are likely supported, as well.) windows95 running in macOS Both emulators are Electron apps that can run in a modern version of Windows or macOS. (Macintosh.js emulates Mac OS 8.)īoth windows95 and Macintosh.js come from the same person – Felix Rieseberg. In this case, Windows 95 is being emulated. Windows95 is an emulator that, like it’s younger sibling (Macintosh.js), doesn’t beat around the bush with a fancy name. But what about emulators for the PC? After all, I haven’t covered a PC emulator since DOSBox.

Lately, I’ve been exploring various emulators for the Macintosh platform.
