Okay, we can play Tori.  I'm just surprised you want to get ShogiVar working so badly instead of just using Zillions.  It does have a few you can't find elsewhere (actually, it might only be unique in having Tai, and possibly Maka Dai Dai), but most of them can be found elsewhere or utilized in Zillions.  Don't get me wrong, it's a great program and I wish Steve Evans would update and expand upon it.  But if you're wanting to avoid technical difficulties, you can try some other links.  And I looked it up, and the only Zillions file not available on chessvariants.org or zillionsofgames.com is Dai Shogi.  If you want that, I have it and can get it to you.

As for the program working on your emulated Win95, what you usually have to do these days is download VBRUN300.dll and put it in the folder containing all your ShogiVar files.

https://www.google.com/search?q=VBRUN300.DLL&rlz=1C1TSNF_enUS550US550&oq=VBRUN300.DLL&aqs=chrome..69i57.867j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Just download the dll (if you haven't set up a folder that shares between your real and emulated OS, then you should just download it in Win95), put it in the folder, and try running the program again.  If you're still having some trouble, I'll take a little more time to help you walk through the process.
