Homebrew Windows 95 on N3DS

[NuikopeaDemon]

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

Sweet hopefully the Internet speeds up so I can test this out... The patience is fucking killing me

Testing it out right now, and I gotta say, I never would have imagined this happening on a 3DS. Nice work!

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.

You can also use the dos prompt as this is dosbox

Noob question:
How do I run it? I don't understand.

Do you have this running? so many games from this era ran in dos rather than Windows. A proper dos emulator would be very useful.

I haven't had a chance to set it up, but I'm going to be working on it in a few here.

This isn't just windows, it's dosbox which can run windows.

do I plop my win95.exe into the app folder with the 3dsx and run it?

Best start of the year for the 3ds scene

I can't try it out now. Later today...

This is able to play monkey island 2 etc. I guess?

If it's dos, then yeah!

doesn't this require SDL? do you have a functioning SDL port too?

 

[Yami_Industries]

How do I boot this shit?? were do I place my .img.exe file????

No, it uses retroarch, as they have a dosbox. I could never get sdl working.

It should just be a .img. Idk what that is.

Hey, does this connect to the Internet or have the ability to install anything?

I don't think it can connect to the internet. If you can install it then transfer to the .img, then yeah "installing" programs is possible.

 

[thatbooisaspy]

Probably not, I don't think you could get any insanely useful 16-bit DOS applications from the Internet noawdays. I doubt it has internet capability but you can try.

THIS IS LEGIT!!!!!

 

[shutterbug2000]

THIS IS LEGIT!!!!!

Now someone needs to do the same for actual windows

By that I mean upload an image
