Ok so that's probably a very stupid question considering the current state of this, but I don't have a N3DS to try it myself and whatever I guess it costs nothing to ask: Has anyone tried to run the windows executable of the original Pikmin ?

You can always write a script, that'll take care of all the DOS Commands.

EDIT:

Here's a Script i wrote, in case you need it.
Includes both .cmd and .bat.

Source Code:
Code:
@echo off
::This is a Script for Booting Windows 95
::on the Nintendo 3DS/n3DS.

Half just because they can and half just to see what happens I guess? Personally I would love it if a windows OS as early as 95/98 was playable on a handheld simply because Age of Empires would be an awesome game to play on such a handheld.

Possibly you'd get an awesome unplayable game. The resolution/screen is way too small.

Having DOSBox running decently should suffice. There's plenty of cool games waiting to be replayed.

Besides if you want to really play these games on the go. invest in a vintage laptop. you get first hand experince in repairing/maining legacy hardware, and you get a better feel of play than on an N3DS.
