Homebrew Windows 95 on N3DS

[GoodCookie88]

Wow thats great

It's seems like it's going to be a great year for 3DS homebrew. Can't wait to see more of this.

God hope. Last year was a literal bone zone for the 3DS hacking community lol.

I don't have windows 95... I have windows 8.1..

really?

Still, the total amount would be more than a low amount. We might get 50-70MB of ram

In 3dbrew, it says that ninjhax has access to 64MB of RAM. But since *hax2.5, smea said we have 16MB more.
So we have a total of 80MB of memory avaliable in an O3DS. I think so at least , if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me

Should probably edit OP to provide links and instructions on how to install (not that it's hard).

Is dosbox running? The option doesn't appear unless dosbox is running a program.

I'm a bit confused now, where would you get dosbox or how would I run it to allow Input to show the correct type?

 

[Alex3DSU]

Running this would be cool. Hopefully it gets released next week.

The executable is dosbox. The other stuff just executes Win95 using Dosbox.

There's a N3DS version already released, and O3DS is being worked on.

It's already released, check on I believe the fourth page, he has a link there.

even if it could run 95, would be better for o3DS users for dos games upto a certain level.

Hey friends, having some issues with an error claiming that explorer.exe could not be initialized. Does anyone have a direct link to a W95.IMG file that will work?

Cheers!

We are not allowed to link it, because it contains copyrighted content.

Can I get someone to test my build to make sure it's actually booting on a N3DS properly? I've asked a few people but nobody seems to want to help me out since I don't have one :/

<snip, thanks @einstein95 for testing and confirming that they do in fact boot.>

I'm not going to provide a CIA because it's still a WIP, I just want to make sure my build works properly. Thanks in advance!

Note: I've also made a few changes to the banner to mention that it's a DOSBox build, and I had to borrow @Steveice10's Gameyob banner sound since the one included in retroarch wouldn't work properly when using the banner maker.

Question: Why make another build?

Question: Why make another build?

I want to make sure my build actually works on a N3DS like the original does before I start making any changes to the core code. I can't test my own code right now until I know that it's still working on the hardware that I know it should work on.

You want to make a build that's compatible with both 3ds and N3DS?

Well, at least allow this to run on an O3DS since it can't right now. Even if it requires a separate build. I don't intend to merge this with libretro though.
