Homebrew Windows 95 on N3DS

[Mnecraft368]

Noob question:
How do I run it? I don't understand.

Use the .3ds file with a CFW or use the .3dsx file with the homebrew launcher like any other app


And since it would have killed me if I didnt do this, added a .smdh file that has dos box icon. I hate things that dont have icons or names for the app. Tell me if you want me to upload the SMDH file if you really want me too, (I got the version from the first link posted so there might be a smdh file now, for me there isnt so yeah)

or a better question is: how can I make the A button the enter button?

how do I fix this error?

 

[Nyannurs]

is there definite proof for that though?

shutterbug2000 mentioned that earlier so i based myself off of that

It'd be cool if you could do this. But, perhaps its deigned to modify the code inside the 3DS? That would be amazing to those who don't necessarily have access to a computer 24/7 and want to get into this stuff

please port to old3ds

I have a BIG problem. I cant run anything. I opened the 3dsx file, opened win3ds.bat, nothing hapened, i tried 3 different W95.IMG's nothing, It brang up the dos box menu but i cant do anything else. I made a test.bat file and that did the same thing. And is there a keyboard, i press buttons and random things happen

put the win3ds.bat and w95.img in its own folder in the root of the sd card. name the folder whatever, then in retroarch open the win3ds.bat inside the folder u made

Unfortunately, I don't have the source code, nor do I know if he made any modifications to it to make it run. I'll see if I can get the code and all its dependencies and try building it, but I cannot promise anything. Also, this started just after midnight and I haven't even had time to attempt getting any source lol.

Bullshit - the minimum requirement for Windows 95 is 4MB. Any 3DS can meet this easily.

 

[Mnecraft368]

Ok, I get it to kinda boot up now but it says

imgmount d c:\W95.IMG
Could not extract drive geometry from image
Use parameter -size bys.spc.bpc.cyl (That may be incorrect due to bad graphics) to specify the geometry

boot c:\W95.IMG
Opening image file c:\W95.IMG
Booting from drive A

_ (This underscore keeps flashing forever)

What do I do?

You wait for it to finish (if it ever does).

 

[Mnecraft368]

How long?

 

[NodePoint]

How long?

How long is a piece of string?


Okay. That was a bit of a joke. I haven't tested it myself so I have no idea where it would go up to on the o3DS.

It was mentioned a few times here anyway.

Also, additionally, once I can get DOSBox to start, I also found some images of Windows 3.0 and 3.1 and I may try booting them.

Also, as soon as the "win" command is issued, Windows should start. If I get the chance, I'll see if I can find a way to get Windows to automatically start as soon as DOSBox is started.

Would you want me to PM you the source code? I can zip up everything and send it if you want.

Thanks teamfail to try
