This is the nf template I used for each step below.

Instead, you can leave the Win95 image small and mount a second empty drive for each game that’s the right size to install the game to. I didn’t want to installing all of my games in the same Win95 image, which I could break easily, and I didn’t want a huge Win95 starting image to install each game. You have to boot from an “img” file in DOSBox to run Win95, but IMG files take up the whole drive size, not just the used space. Mount a second hard drive for each game # Instead, I copied my (trimmed) Win95 setup folder to an empty hard drive image and then mount it along with the DOS Boot Disk and target drive to start setup. The walkthroughs copy the install directory to the target hard drive, but that means the target drive must be larger.

I couldn’t mount the Win95 ISO so a DOS boot disk would see it. My scripting in Step 1 below copies the correct file list. This also eliminated a few exceptions during the first boot.

You can delete all of the files on the Win95C CD which aren’t on the Win95A CD to get the latest Win95 fixes, but without all of the optional software (IE, AOL, …). I saw the fewest unhandled exceptions and other problems with the last Win95 release. I’ve also packed up all of my DOSBox scripting, if you don’t want to copy and paste it from here. In addition to a Win95 CD ISO and key, you’ll need: Anyway, here are my terse, working steps for getting very nice Win95 DOSBox images. The walkthroughs online had some skippable steps and I ran into some problems, and then I got distracted optimizing it.

Oh, and did you hear about RCT coming out for tablet (Atari says release date is unknown)? Keep your eyes peeled for that.I needed Windows to run SimTower, so I decided to try getting Win95 to run on DOSBox. The only setback is that you can’t use a park editor to get all land and keep grass trimmed, but I’ll take what I can get. Rollercoaster Tycoon Rollercoaster Tycoon Rollercoaster Tycoon Rollercoaster Tycoon Some screenshots to persuade you into joining me. I’m having a lot of fun playing it, and I think it calls for some sleepless nights. I want to breeze through all of the scenarios and then build the biggest, best park I can. At this point, I don’t care about managing my park. In my newly downloaded version of Rollercoaster Tycoon, I beat Forest Frontiers in about an hour, built all of my rollercoasters from scratch (this is the only way) and suffered one accident (my Wooden Crazy Rodent Roller Coaster’s station brakes failed and killed 4 passengers). Football Manager series, The Sims, SimTower, SimPark, Theme Hospital, SimCity, you name it, I’ve played it (except the Tropico series, I’m not quite sure if I want to start playing new franchises just yet). I’m a sucker for simulations, especially construction and management sims.
I’m a goddamn hero for what I’ve done for myself. “Michael, you’re such a nerd.” No baby, not a nerd. I clapped and shouted at my ceiling while my girlfriend gave me the stink eye. Then I googled “rollercoaster tycoon macbook” and found this website and followed their instructions.īasically, you get Crossover, purchase a $5.99 digital copy of RCT Deluxe from GOG.com, install the bottle and voila. Then I tried torrenting it - very stupid, I wasted five minutes trying to get it to mount. I looked for my old CD, which I have (Loopy Landscapes for the fucking win) and of course, it didn’t work because my dumb self didn’t get Parallels (nor do I have a spare Windows OS on hand). So being the RCT addict I was, I had to wonder if I would be able to run it on my Macbook. I wrote about how I really wanted to play Rollercoaster Tycoon.
