Hacking Possilbe to run a computer OS or something like it on acekard?

[galaec]

I was wondering if it is possible to run something like a computer...or basically run .exe files directly or indirectly?

 

[Advi]

sorry, the DS lacks the power, or for that matter, the proper hardware in general to do that.

 

[VatoLoco]

There's DSLinux, which requires some skill/knowledge to operate,
and there's also MiniVmac.
I havent dived too terribly deep into either of these (though ive got a copy of each on my SD =P), so i dont know about .exe files

Impossible to run anything windows-based on the DS. There's DSLinux, but it's kinda useless, since the DS can just barely run the kernel.

You can't run a computer OS on a DS..

 

[rommy667]

AKINO is the os

AKINO is the os

He means something similar to windows which can open .exe executable files.

 

[Briankealing]

The AK2 will NEVER be able to run .exe's.

However, any flashcart for the DSi lite 2 extreme ultra pro III will work.

will my ds run gta 4?

will my ds run gta 4?

you have to get the super R4 III ultimate upgrade special edition gold first

Hi,
Directly it is impossible, since Windows or DOS apps are written and compiled for a x86 instruction set (the DS's cpu is an ARM, with different instructions).
The only way to execute a MS-type binary file (.com or .exe ) would be to load it trough an emulator like DosBOX, but no DosBOX build for DS is available as far as I know. Anyway the result could probably not run anything bigger than a 1980 text based app. I might be too pessimistic, however, but you've got the main idea.

As others have said, there's DSLinux which is, as memory serves, all text based. If you were wanting to emulate Windows 3.1 or something then there's no chance, not even on a DSi. Why? Simply not enough power. Even something with as much power as the iPhone 3GS takes up to 8 minutes to boot 3.1, and over 30 minutes to boot 95!

DSLinux is not entirely text based. The package includes a port of the Pixil suite, but i'm sure it needs a supported RAM pack in slot 2.

lol PSP only take 15mins to boot win95

it can quickly boot Mac OS7 though and is usable but glitchy

lol it takes 3 min for windows 3.1 and 6 min for windows 95 to boot on my 3GS -.-' I think there is something wrong with yours ;P

Pixil is utterly useless running on the DS with DSLinux. There are many much more useful homebrew apps out there.

I've never said anything about usefulness. I just corrected a wrong statement.
