Doesn't seem to work on Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G

[Kurt-Aust]

Tried on a Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G based system using:
VirtualBox 6.1.46 and VMware Player 16.2.5 in Windows 10 22H2
VirtualBox 6.1.38 and VMware Player 17.0.2 in Linux Mint 21.1
In all cases it crashed out just after the Time Zone window.

It was installed by script (booted from the CD, Format and Xcopy are from a working 98se install)
E:
CD E:\Apps
E:\Apps\Format.com C: /V:Win98se
MkDir C:\Win98
E:\Apps\XCopy.exe D:\Win98 C:\Win98 /S /E /V
CD E:\Apps\Patch9x
E:\Apps\Patch9x\Patch9x.exe -Auto C:\Win98
C:
CD C:\Win98
C:\Win98\Setup.exe /IE

The files seem to be extracted and modded, is there something wrong with the methodology that prevents it from working?

The new tips from the SoftGPU page help, specifically:
VBoxManage setextradata "Win 98se" VBoxInternal/TM/TSCTiedToExecution 1
VBoxManage modifyvm "Win 98se" --cpu-profile "AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core"

However while I can now install Windows 98, unfortunately it's still far to unstable to use, for one thing the Windows 98 AutoPatcher will always crash out if using the default selection of patches.

Also the "AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core" profile was only added in VirtualBox 7 and it seems likely that you can't use a profile that has more cores than your actual CPU.
