Homebrew Windows 95 on N3DS

[LarBob]

how! <3

The DSi would not be powerful enough to run Win95 very well, if at all.

how! <3

It's a very long story. You can read all about it in the DS forum, here at gbatemp. Good luck

Yay! True? Very incredible then! But also very slow I guess?

My post about this on twitter kinda blew up. I tried linking to here via the comments, but I don't think everyone saw it. But now everyone is talking about Windows 95 on 3ds, and it's really cool to see! https://twitter.com/RetroRampage37/status/683230328211652608 I see some of the RTs and some of them think it was me who made it and got it working, even though I directly linked to this post, so sorry about that! People just kinda assumed I made it.

The most important question, has anyone had a BSOD on 95 yet?

I got an illegal operation error on Win98 after using it for mere minutes.
Edit: processing and uploading Win98/3.1 video now.

There are some people, on other websites, that asks why? I LOL at those people!

I mean, this is fantastic, obviously

But I'll wait to install win95 until there is mouse, keyboard and hdd support

Then I will show it to all geeks I know

How did you get the applications to show on 3.1?

Have any of you tried older versions of Windows like 2.0 and a beta?

I might be able to try Windows 2.0 if you like. It should work. 3.1 works splendidly.

Nice! Thanks for the video. Win98 on the n3ds! But it is too slow to be used imo. More fun proof of concept.

The 3.1 boots fast. But'll use win95 for sure

I don't know what version of DOS retroarch is using but all I know is that 2.0 and below is picky with DOS.
