Install GamesĮvery game has its own installation setup and in my case, all I needed to do was create a directory called C:\dos\chips for example, before starting DOSBox, and extract the game files into that, then run it within Windows 3.1. I then ran the Windows 3.1 Setup and selected S3 1024 x 768 64k colours which give you more room to play with on your screen.

For VGA drivers, I used the S3 drivers from Vogons and extracted them to a new directory within c:\dos and called it VGA. This is best achieved by downloading Sound Blaster 16 DOS drivers from Vogons and extracting the folder to a new directory within c:\dos (sound, for example), starting DOSBox again, mounting c:\dos and running the sound installation from within DOS. If you don’t hear any sounds you’ll need to install SoundBlaster drivers. Subsequent versions were released between 19. The series began with Windows 3.1, which was first sold during April 1992 as a successor to Windows 3.0. An illustration of a horizontal line over an up pointing arrow. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Windows 3.1 was a series of obsolete 16-bit operating environments produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, released on April 6, 1992.

Once the installation is complete - all 20MB of it - you’ll be greeted with the familiar ding sound and the very simple Windows 3.11 opening screen. Due to a planned power outage on Friday, 1/14, between 8am-1pm PST, some services may be impacted. The above commands mount the emulated C drive (dos), thus allowing you to change directories to install using the CD (Change Directory) command and then simply type setup.exe to begin Windows 3.11 installation. Then, using the commands shown below, you mount C:\ and begin the installation.

You can, of course, search Google for Windows 3.1, bearing in mind that it’s not abandonware and Microsoft holds the copyright.

I then found my old Windows 3.1 floppy disks and using a USB floppy drive, made images of each of the eight disks and then extracted them to a subdirectory of C:\dos, called install. This is simply a case of creating a directory on one of your hard drives - dos, for example - downloading the program and installing it into that directory. I chose DOSBox Portable this time around because, once set up, I wanted to run it off a pen drive and use it on whichever machine I chose. I could have used a virtual machine and installed either Windows 3.1 or Windows XP, but somehow that’s not as much fun as DOSBox emulation. As mentioned in my previous article, My 10 Favourite Games Of All Time, I’ve always wanted to play Chip’s Challenge on my main PC, but 16-bit games or programs won’t run on 64-bit systems. This is one of those exercises that are completely useless in many practical terms, but it’s fun to do, especially if you have some 16-bit games laying around that won’t run on Windows 10.
