Any suggestions? Sorry, what is that for?From the manual 9.5 Custom VESA resolutionsApart from the standard VESA resolutions, the VirtualBox VESA BIOS allows you to add up to 16 custom video modes which will be reported to the guest operating system. They're giving them away.I have just completed installing Win98SE as a virtual system in ubuntu 7.10 and I got stuck with a crappy 640x480x16 color screen and was hoping your solution may work.I was able to download the Display Doctor 7 beta exe, but I'm having NO LUCK finding anything about keys at the Sci-Tech website. Go to the Sci-Tech website and access their discontinued downloads where you'll be able to download the product keys for the older versions. Use Sci-Tech Display Doctor version 7 beta.
You won't be playing any Direct 3D games! You certainly don't need more than that for what VirtualBox supports for Video anyway. It defaults to 8MB, but changing it to 7MB has eliminated some problems for some folks. Don't need them, but they're fun as is playing with virtual machine operating systems.Edit -Oh, forgot to mention that less video memory allocation is actually better on VirtualBox. Stupid things like Star Trek Captains Chair that don't need Direct 3D but won't run on newer Windows versions. I'd just move Grub into the mbr if necessary.I want 98 so I can use a few programs that haven't worked on XP since they went to Service Pack 2 and of course won't work on Vista, and not on Wine or Dosbox either.
I wanted to keep the Vista boot loader so I can muck about with Windows all I want without Grub being effected. I actually use the Vista boot loader and BCDEasy to boot grub that is on my 2nd hard drive's Linux partition where Debian is. I've got a real drive with Vista on it (by choice, really!) I've got XP Pro, and used to do a dual-boot 98SE and XP, but figured I might as well have the latest Windows since I bought it. I'm going to try this eventually on Debian Lenny, as the only Windows I'd want to virtualize is Windows 98SE. Sound!Stuff like this is on the VirtualBox forums. Reboot again, open up the Sci-tech control panel and you can even use 1024x768 Hi-Color!The other trick is using the latest Realtek AC97 Audio drivers, the Windows 95 VXD version, and update your Multimedia Audio Controller to it. I've read that the same key for the last version 6 that they offer can also be used successfully on the 7 beta.You install the version 7 beta, restart Windows, and in Device Manager update the standard pci graphics adapter (VGA) to the Sci-Tech one in the list that appears when you choose to install a different driver and scroll through the Display Adapters to the Sci-Tech Corporation drivers.
