   @lispi314 @timixretroplays it's win9x relying on bad behavior, see https://www.os2museum.com/wp/those-win9x-crashes-on-fast-machines/ (there's also another bug not covered here, but this is the big one)

     @timixretroplays Is Win9X relying on a bug that got fixed, or is the emulator buggy on Ryzen systems?

     Have you ever tried emulating #Windows98 on a #Ryzen system and had it crash spectacularly? Just within the last year or so, someone's written a patch for 95/98/98SE to fix it!

     There's a floppy image you can boot your VM from, which will patch and fix your Win9x install even if it's partially installed and you hit the Explorer crash, so it doesn't even matter hugely where/when in the installation process you apply it. https://github.com/JHRobotics/patcher9x/releases/

     Boosts for visibility welcome!
