DOSBox 0.74 Released

How do you load a Win 95 specific game CD in DOSBox 0.74?

I bought the Puzzle Madness CD from Ebay. It's specific to Windows 95. There are videos I've found on the internet that only show how to load up the Windows 95 iso. Does anybody know how to load Windows 95 game CDs in DOSBox 0.74?

Edit: I'm using Windows XP.

This has been out for over two years.

Maybe can you ask help in Dosbox forum, this general Dosbox forum http://vogons.zetafleet.com/index.php?c=7 .

DOSBox 0.74 source was upgraded to revision 3807 on the October 21, 2012 news at dosbox.com.

Heh, I would've thought they would made DosBox 0.75 already.

These updates don't come frequently, I guess. Especially as they improve things further it becomes progressively harder to improve the emulation enough to warrant a new version number. Just my guess.

Hi Clyde!

Dosbox 0.75 will never be released apparently. Conversation on #dosbox

Code:

<slim132821> when will Dosbox 0.75 be released? hahah
<P4R4D0X> never
<P4R4D0X> use SVN
<P4R4D0X> end of story
<slim132821> aha I am
<P4R4D0X> good
<P4R4D0X> then you have 0.75
<slim132821> you really are a paradox ahah
<P4R4D0X> no... I am telling you the truth
<P4R4D0X> there won't be 0.75
<P4R4D0X> why would the devs work for GOG and co. for free?
<P4R4D0X> so they could steal it and bundle it with their crap?
<slim132821> that makes sense
<P4R4D0X> 0.74 is good enough for them
<P4R4D0X> and no... they didn't donate to the project
<P4R4D0X> so yeah...
<slim132821> jackasses indeed
<P4R4D0X> so please don't ask for 0.75
<P4R4D0X> be happy that you have SVN
<slim132821> no worries, you have answered my curiosity
<P4R4D0X> all you need to do is to look at the commit log
<P4R4D0X> and the dates

Thank you, ThePerfectDrug, for mentioning DOSBox to remind me that it’s been updated since Brian stopped updating The Wolfenstein 3D Dome in 2013.  I was going to mention the updates, but I had forgotten.

DOSBox had some sort of update 4 days ago:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/
According to the December 17th news at http://www.scummvm.org/, “Just in time for the holidays, the final release of ScummVM 2.0 is here! This version adds support for 23 brand new old games, including almost all of the 32-bit Sierra adventures: …”  Then they list the games.

Good thing today's CPUs are fast enough to run all the Dos games.

Go to the http://www.dosbox.com home page.  For today, August 30, the home page news has been updated for the first time in over 4 years and 8 months.  It's version 0.74-2.

I found out today from https://www.dosbox.com that DosBox 0.74-3 was released in June.
EDIT: ScummVM was last updated in 2017 at https://sourceforge.net/projects/scummvm/ .
