Android Windows Emulator For Android

[Deleted member 318366]

Well by now after looking at the title above ^ you already know i am attempting at emulating windows on android, the question is which one of these emulators are the best at emulating windows xp or windows 7?

vnc just isn't doing it for me. :/

You either have a quad-core 1,7GHz or expect unusable slowness level.

Anyway, looks interesting. I'll try to grab 'em.

Second one looks the most interesting tbh.

Will try XP Pro right now.

Not necessarily. I had Bochs running on a 512Mhz XScale smartphone back in the day and it could run Solitare on Win95. That said, I'd give it a rest - just use whatever OS is on your smartphone or get a netbook. If you're posh, get a UMPC. Emulating x86 on portable architectures never goes very far.

That was the age when developers weren't lazy bums searching for a quick buck on the APP MARKET frenzy. Nowadays it's all rushed ports 'n stuff.

Maybe so, but QEMU actually is pretty resourceful, so I wouldn't cross out everyday office applications. He's not going to play Crisis on that setup, but it should work. Still, he should just get a netbook or something - they're affordable and portable.

imo atm this is kinda useless, but in the future this could be come very useful when phones become faster.

Splashtop. Best VNC style service.

How many times did he have to hit the screen , wtf

 

[air2004]

Where did he get the win95 file from ? its not listed on the site for downloading.

Negative results! motioncoding's emulator couldn't even recognize my windows 7 pro iso (nothing wrong with it) and limbo kept force closing everytime i tried to open/run the image but your right limbo is more interesting and intriguing. i'll mess with it some more later, seems like windows 95, 98 and xp work fine from what everybody else is saying.



@ raulpica and plainscript thanks! let me know what results you guys got with either one of the emulators.

None of them will work(properly). Most android phones have an ARM architecture while windows uses a x86 architecture. Though you can try (emulating) windows RT which is for arm based devices. http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/htc-hd2-refuses-to-die-now-runs-windows-rt/ <<WinRT on htc hd2(Example)

Sigh...looks like i'll have to stick to using vnc...dammit! NO!!! I am NOT going to give up on this!!!!!!! Lol i'll find someway of running windows 7 on android

 

[Rydian]

Considering that Windows 7 is x86, you will need a hardware emulator as well.

And that's not happening with anything resembling full speed.

You are wasting your life if you try to find it.

 

[Deleted member 318366]

Unless i find someone to create or modify the emulator to support that that is? Lol but your probally right, i have to go back to the drawing board with shitty pocketcloud again.

 

[nl255]

Actually, once Wine gets Android/x86 support you could use qemu to run that as qemu actually has two modes, one of which runs linux/x86 binaries on linux/whatever without having to do full OS emulation. The only problem is that Wine only has display drivers for X11 and MacOS X.

It probaly doesn't matter since nobody cares but i was able to boot windows XP pro in both emulators...







I'm going to try this guys tutorial except for windows 7.
