[elhobbs]

Has anyone tried adjusting the contrast on this video that was made in the dark for some mysterious reason?

You seem awfully eager to claim that this is fake.
Going off of what Shutterbug said, this is very real, and there's nothing here that suggests otherwise.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Message was to elhobbs. Sorry!

Perhaps Sim City 2000 DOS will work...

Anyways, gonna go find a build of DOSBox for the 3DS...

 

[ihaveahax]

if you can tell me how you built it, I might be able to try it out right now, or I can just do it myself

still a good find nonetheless

I'll just jump right to what you want to see

Spoiler: Image here(too big)

More details soon(plz no gw soon )

Niiiiiice! I hope support will be added to it that'll let me draw on mspaint with the touchscreen.

Here we go!

If you have a windows 95 image on the sd card named "W95.img", then running "win3ds.bat" with the core will boot windows.

Otherwise, use any dos exe in the same way.

Also, to use arrows, change settings -> input -> user 1 binds -> device type to "Joystick with 4 btns/4 axis + kbd arrows"

EDIT: oh wow it's too big. Just a second...
Uploading to dropbox, give me a few minutes.

And here it is!

There is quite a bit here to suggest this is fake. And very little to suggest it is real. I have been wrong before though. I would be quite happy to be wrong though

Yeah, I just added a ctr target and compiled, got the static lib, and linked it with retroarch.

How would I obtain a W95.img file?

 

[shutterbug2000]

How would I obtain a W95.img file?

1. Make it with a vm

or

2. Google "iDOS windows 95"(I got mine from that)

So, I got a link. Who wants

what do I do with the win3ds.bat file?

 

[shutterbug2000]

what do I do with the win3ds.bat file?

You run it with retroarch, assuming you got the W95.img file

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

Can you run .exe files on this or does it have to be a .bat file (haven't downloaded yet) Internet being slow as :/

You can run exe files, and I think .com(dos executables), and ofc .bat

I got mine from (google this)"iDOS windows 95"

Basically you can run whatever you can run on Windows 95, that is, 16-bit applications, so .exe, .com, and .bat files will all work.
