There is installed Win3.1 here on Abandonia, I believe. It must be enough to run installers (but not always enough to run the games, but there you don't need it). I recommend to save "vanilla" copy, to replace your working install when needed (Win3.x too often get broken after the next installed tools set).

Ah, one quirk: for me, Daum DOSBox build was the best for Win3.1.

I wouldn't recommend DOSBox Daum to any new users. It hasn't been updated since 2015 and I think the developer has completely stopped supporting it. I think there were also some issues with the last release (broken features, broken support for several games).


For Windows 3.x, the official DOSBox build is good enough. If you want some extra features, you can try DOSBox ECE, DOSBox-x or DOSBox Staging.

I tried using that and Yes it worked fine with the Original GPM 2 but when Updated I got this Error:



What does that Mean as I don't know

Picture didn't came through, Dave.

But after update game become 32-bit, so no more playable under Win3.1. Play it without emulator.

Well turning it into 32 Bit make it also Crash on Windows 98 as well?

Would it work on Windows XP(Even thru a Emulator)?

I have no idea, sorry. As I said above, I installed original under 3.1, then replaced .exe with patched one, and then simply ran it under Win10 x64.

Is it worse under Win98? Strange then.
