Windows 2000/98SE hang on boot.

Open Exabits1 opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

I want to experiment running some old games using v86.

First I tried using Windows98 Second Edition. I Created an img of the system using qemu and got it to run properly. But when I try using the disk image in v86 It hangs. I've identified it as #250. I don't think there's a solution to this one so I tried windows 2000. Made an img of it in qemu and similarly, it starts to boot then just stops for apparently no reason.

Any help is appreciated

I've not tested Windows 2000, but Windows 98SE (RUS) (with VBE video driver) is working fine for me.

I also have the VBE driver. Do you think it's the language of windows 98 that could cause the issue? I'm using the English version.

Anything in the browser console? Can you check that the computer type is "Standard PC" in device manager?

Windows 98SE: I don't see anything that relates to the PC in the device manager and nothing in the console Windows 2000: Under computer it says ACPI Uniprocessor PC and it says "Uncaught InternalError: too much recursion" in the console

I don't know what's going on in the 98 image.

In the 2000 image you'll need to change the PC type to "Standard PC".
