Homebrew Windows 95 on N3DS

I see Windows95a and Windows95b images on the interwebs. Do I have to compile both of them? Right now I just renamed the Windows95a to W95.img and tried running it. 20,000 frames in, still says "booting from drive A"

Probably

What do I have to use to do that?

WinRAR. Were the files in a zip?

 

[Halvorsen]

They were both separate. So it's fine to just have them compressed like that?

Is anyone using this for more than novelty?

I'm not exactly sure. Probably

It will be much less of a novelty when we get KB + M for sure

not trying to be a troll (or dense) but even with keyboard and mouse what would you use this for? I'm a big old school computer guy with dosbox games etc. but I can't for the life of me figure out what I'd use win95 for on a 3ds.

Word processing. I guess. Windows 98 can run some modern programs with KernelEX.

If its possible for it to run faster then I'm sure there will be people who remap buttons to play old games.

It is ""too"" useful... A O.S of 1995 with a console of 2011. Very useful! I am sure that I will can use it for....

Nothing. Only load a VERY OLD Operative System in 3DS. Very interesting. Yes.

My post about this on twitter kinda blew up. I tried linking to here via the comments, but I don't think everyone saw it. But now everyone is talking about Windows 95 on 3ds, and it's really cool to see! https://twitter.com/RetroRampage37/status/683230328211652608 I see some of the RTs and some of them think it was me who made it and got it working, even though I directly linked to this post, so sorry about that! People just kinda assumed I made it.

For just a moment, I saw this front paged on Yahoo. Yeah, a number of gaming sites made articles about this Windows on the 3DS, but I was surprised to see it on Yahoo, man I should have taken a screeny ~___~

You can't run Citra on Windows 95. It runs on the Windows 9x kernel, which is totally different than the NT kernel modern Windows operating systems use today.

I think he means running the hack with Citra. I tried but the upper screen didn't show

I'll try to just integrate dosbox to the mainline retroarch builds
Several old dos games should be playable with no kb/mouse support

Sorry if someone already posted something like this but QUICK SOMEONE TRY AN N64 EMULATOR
